Creating Eye Makeup Looks with Mascara

There are many looks that you can create by using different mascaras in addition to eye makeup, such as eye shadow and eye liners. Here are a few looks:

Creating Eye Makeup Looks with Mascara: Smoky Eyes

Smoky Mascara Look

The prerequisite to creating smoky eyes is a good balance of dark and light shades. This determines whether you'll end up with a sultry look or ghoulish eye makeup. Here are some things you can do in creating eye makeup looks with mascara:

  • Brush eyelids with an eye shadow base to set any eye makeup that you will put later on.
  • Use dark eyeliner to line the base of your upper lashes.
  • With a lighter shade of eyeliner, create a thinner line at the base of your lower lashes. Lightly smear it. If you are doing this for the first time, a pencil eyeliner is more appropriate for you. Liquid eyeliners stain easily and may be too complicated for a novice.
  • Put on light eye shadow, such as taupe or a shimmery shade of gold.
  • With your darker eye liner, even out the line that you created on your upper lid until it dissolves into your eye shadow.
  • Use black mascara to complete the look.
  • If you go for smoky eyes, make sure to keep your blush and lip colors light.

Creating Eye Makeup Looks with Mascara: The Natural Look

Natural Mascara Look
  • Choose a combination of three shades that complements your skin tone and eye colour.
  • First, use the lightest shade on your brow bone, the area directly under your brows.
  • Before applying the next shade on your lids, you may want to line your lids to maximize the natural look.
  • Put on the medium shade on the crease of your eyes and the darkest shade close to the base of your lashes.
  • Apply mascara to finish it off. Clear mascara creates an incredibly natural look.

Creating Eye Makeup Looks with Mascara: Glam Eyes

For dramatic or glam eyes go with wild eye shadow colours and glitters. After applying these on your lids, finish off the look with fake eyelashes or several coatings of heavy mascara.

Creating Eye Makeup Looks with Mascara: The Emo Look

If you want to go for an emo look, you should go for everything black-eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. Use black shadow on your upper lid, working your way toward your brow bone. Apply black liner and mascara to achieve the emo look-the heavier, the better.
