Tutorial: Brighter larger looking eyes

Want to have bambi eyes?  Well, you can by using some of the eye makeup techniques shared by Michelle Phan in the video above.  Her techniques are rather interesting and involve using white eyeliner and silver eyeshadow before lining the eyes thinly so as to achieve a pair of brighter larger looking eyes. 

  • Apply white eyeliner on the lower rim of the eyes
  • Apply a light eyeshadow of the lids
  • Apply silver eyeshadow on the upper brow line

Mineral makeup application technique

Mineral Makeup Application

There is a specific technique when it comes to applying mineral makeup.  i.d. bareMinerals calls it Swirl, Tap, Buff.  Erth Mineral Makeup calls it Twirl, Tap and Brush.  But they are all the same when it comes to the process.

I had a little problem initially but with practice, it became real easy.  I saw the mineral makeup application video on i.d. Minerals website and realised that I was on track, except that instead of putting the powder on the lid, what I do is to use my brush to pick up the powder, then swirl it on the lid then tap the excess off.  This helps to prevent unnecessary wastage.

Stila: smokey eyes made easy

Using black or gray eyeshadow to achieve smokey eyes is now passe.  The latest is to use many shades of the same colour.   A minimum of three shades in light, medium and dark tones at least, and if you want extra effect, you can blend as many as five.   

And here’s a simple 4-step approach to achieve your own smokey eyes with a trio of colours.

  1. Apply the lightest colour as base to the entire eye area, from eyebrow to lashline.
