If you are a newbie exploring the world of makeup and beauty products, the process can be overwhelming. The range of products, colors, textures, and tools available for eye makeup is wide and varied and can leave you exhausted and confused. If you want to learn the art of makeup, you can learn from peers or leading makeup artists.
To get the perfect eye makeup, you need to have a clear understanding of your eye shape and its contours, skin tones, and the type of products that can be in sync with these elements. 

Here are some of the tips experts give for beginners to learn the skill and techniques of eye makeup:

1. Know your eye shape
Did you know that our eye shape can be classified into eight different types? Knowing your eye shape will help you learn how to do makeup for that specific shape.

2. Clean your eyes
Always wash your face and wipe your eyelids clean before applying makeup. Start with a primer so that the makeup does not smudge and lasts longer.

3. Freeze your pencil eyeliner
If you are using pencil eyeliner, always keep it in the freezer for some time before sharpening it. You will then get a thin but blunt tip that will help you get the perfect shape.

4. Use liquid liners after practice
Start liquid liners once you have a grip on the basic pencil eyeliner. You can do different styles and shapes of eyeliners – with liquid eyeliners. Pencil eyeliners are ideal for practice and perfection.

5. Learn tight-lining
This is a technique used by experts to apply eyeliner to make your eyelashes look dense. From the outer corner of your eye, make a dotted line toward the inner corner. Use a slanted brush and connect the dots. Now apply the eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible. This technique is called tight-lining.

6. The right way to apply mascara
Curl the eyelash before applying mascara. Hold the mascara wand horizontal to your eye. Always start applying mascara from the lashes root and proceed towards the tip. Doing it the other way can weigh down the lashes. If you want to go for a second coat, wait for 10 to 15 seconds, dry the first coat, then apply it a second time, from roots to the tips.

7. Eyeshadow can save or ruin your makeup
Perfectly done eyeshadows can transform your overall look. Invest in good quality products and brushes that will give you confidence and perfection. Use a primer on your lids before you apply eyeshadow. You can start with a single color, and as you gain experience, you can combine colors that match your dress, mood, or occasion. When you combine colors, use dark shade for the bottom, and medium for the middle, and light shades for the top of the eyeshadow and blend them well.

8. Eyebrows matter too
You can choose eyebrow products to suit your hair color and skin tone, or you can keep it as natural as possible. You can use light and subtle highlighters to either make your eyebrows look arched or add height.
