During the daytime it is very important that you stay well clear of colored mascara and bright eyeshadow. This is because the bright sunlight can actually make the colors of this make up even brighter, which is going to result in a washed out look to your eyes and face.

The main job of eyeshadow is to accentuate and shape the eyes not to add color to them. It is also a wise move to always choose colors which are going to highlight your natural shades and skin tone. If you have pale skin, pick taupe eyeliners and light brown colors, this is because these colors are going to help enhance the eyes natural tones without you getting that overpowering look.

If you are going to use two different eyeshadows at the same time always make sure that both eyeshadows are made by the same brand. This is because they will probably be made using the same formula, which will make application and blending in together a whole lot easier.

If your eyes are blue, then why not bring out their natural colors even further by applying eyeshadow which is a subtle green in color instead of being the obvious choice of blue. This subtle green color is going to help bring outs the blues even further without them looking overpowering.

For a fantastic looking evening look, go for loose illuminating pressed powders, these are going to add that bit of sparkle and glamor to your night time look. Choose powders that have bronze and gold flecked effects for that perfect party look.

When applying make up to your eyes and lips, concentrate on one area rather than overdoing both. Choose the one which is your best feature to use strong make up on, then go for a more natural look on the other. It is usually the best idea to work on your strongest features to accentuate them even further and get that knock out look that you are looking for.
