How To Apply Eye Makeup
And, Learning How To Breakdown Your
Favorite Celebrities' Makeup Styles

Actually, the first thing you need to know is this; it is going to take MORE than just how to apply eye makeup to emulate the star power of your favorite celebrities, but fabulous eye makeup is a must starting point.

Getting the look of your favorite star requires not only getting the eye makeup right, it requires reproducing 'the mix' of all in the makeup details...because it is their combination that has created the 'look' and got your attention.

CREATING STAR POWER IS AN ART FORM...

The star power is in the special custom mix of all those extra details... Celebrities, often, hire professionals to perform this styling art for them...they  examine the celebrity's features...eyes, lips, hair, facial structure, complexion, smile, personality, fashion sense, career goals etcetera... and create a customized look that maximizes their beauty style and underscores their personality.

So what do you need to do, to get that gorgeous makeup style working for you ?...Break it down.  Here's how:

Step 1-Analyze the overall makeup style:
  • makeup style- fresh, minimal, casual, notable, heavy?... 

  • palette- are the colors vivid, earthy, very neutral?...

  • eye makeup- light, low key, polished, dramatic?...

  • brows- very groomed, natural shape, full?...

  • cheeks- bare, natural flush, sun kissed, color?...
  • lips- nude, natural looking color, bold?...

Teeth? A critically important part of the 'mix' and if you are an actor or model, they are always at their best and mega white.

Step 2.  Breakdown the "MIX" of makeup details:

  • foundation- light, sheer, medium, full coverage

  • dewy glow- liquid illuminizer to mix into foundation, or spot place highlights to create shimmer

  • how to apply eye makeup - what series of eye shadow shades, eye pencil, eye liner, mascara, false lashes

  • brow shaping; tweezers, pencil, powder, gel
