Celebrity Eye Makeup Secrets You Can Do!

You have always admired the looks of your favorite stars, particularly their eyes. But while you are mesmerized with the way the mascara, eyeliners, shadows and other eye makeup are applied on the eyes of your most loved celebs, then you should also know that they also do tricks which you can apply on your own. Here are some of the DIY celebrity secrets which are both awesome to look at yet easy to do:

Highlight your eye color: Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria’s eyes are well recognized mainly because of their eye color. But if you think Eva has the most stunning eyes in Wisteria Lane, then you don’t know that Eva does the eye makeup by herself! She knows how to make her eye color pop, and here’s how:

Smear the eyeliner or shadow shades of brown, black, or dark gray to the top and bottom lash lines. Then curl the lashes, or glue false lashes, curl them, and apply several coats of mascara. Your eye color now pops beautifully.

Protect the eye shadow from creasing: Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton meanwhile shares how she keeps her eye shadow from creasing, especially when she is at the catwalk. This is important as she usually smiles in front of the camera and the heat can easily make the forehead sweat and trickle down the eyelids. If not protected, the eyelids would smudge and wear off easily.

To keep this disaster from happening, Mischa recommends using powder shadow instead of cream eye shadow. Cream solutions easily smudge and crease unlike powder shadows, but if you prefer using cream shadows, you may do so by mixing powder shadows on them. Also, a strong base will hold the eye shadow longer. Prep your eyelids with concealer or foundation before applying the eye shadow to ensure that it will be kept intact.

Keeping up the Alert Look: Nicole Richie

There are times when we still look haggard and sleepy despite having woken up and around. Nicole Richie has a good solution to this problem, especially with the eyes. You can:

• Rub your eyes with ice cubes to freshen them up. The coolness of the ice rejuvenates the nerves in the eyelids and gives you a newer, better look. Afterwards that’s when you can apply eye makeup.

• If your eyes look red and squinting, then you can remedy that by using eye drops, such as Visine, to get rid of the swelling of the corneal nerves.

• Finally wear a hydrating mask which contains retinol, to freshen up the under-eye area and get rid of the eye bags. This will also cheer up the cheekbones and would give them a more energized effect.

• Use a tinted moisturizer to keep your face hydrated during the day, as it promotes a lasting effect on your eyes. Also, curl your lashes to make eyes pop.
