Applying eye makeup


Eye makeup application takes practice. Experiment with it to find what works best for you. Here are tips for applying mascara, eyeliner pencil and powder eye shadow to help you perfect your look.
Applying Mascara
Before applying mascara, consider curling your lashes with a lash curler to open up your eyes. This is helpful to frame the eyes, especially if your lashes are short. To curl eyelashes with a lash curler your should start by squeezing in "steps" from the lash line to about 3/4 of the way toward tips.
Generally mascara is applied in two coats. To apply mascara, place your finger about mid-lid or on your eyebrow and pull up in order to hold your lid taut.
Holding the wand horizontally, sweep on mascara from roots to ends. Apply only to lash tips at first. Roll the wand slightly as you move, wiggle the wand slightly from side to side, along the lashes to distribute mascara evenly.
tgCosemtics volumizing mascara is formulated with rich moisturizers. Allowing lashes to dry between coats thickens the lash while avoiding clumps. Let the mascara dry for a 4-5 minutes. Don't hurry, relax and wait. This point is where the wet mascara can smudge easily and leave messy marks where you don’t want them. Check your work before you begin the second coat, blinking can cause the wet lash ends to leave tiny mascara marks on your lids. Clean with a Q-tip or tgcosmetics disposable applicator as you go, as needed.
Once the first application has dried, apply a second. For thicker lashes, carefully apply mascara to the upper side of the lashes as well. Wait and let it dry before you continue.
Use your tgcosmetics mascara applicator spiral brush orlash comb to give lashes a final brush-through after they’ve dried to remove any clumps and give lashes a more natural look.
If you apply mascara to lower lashes go light. Apply by brushing the lashes with the wand in a vertical position to sweep across lashes or apply gently lash by lash. Adding too much mascara on the lower lashes can be aging to more mature eyes.

Applying eyebrow pencil
Be sure your tgcosmetics eye pencil is sharpened with acosmetics sharpener, then lightly scribble with it on the back of your hand to dull down the very sharp point and warm the tip. Draw thin lines in the direction your brows grow to define and fill in light areas. Do not draw an outline around brow as this give an unnatural look. tgCosmetics brow and eye pencils have a firmer texture that helps liner stay on longer and causes less breakage when sharpening.
Use a Q-tip or a pointed makeup disposable applicatordipped in makeup remover to gently clean up stray smudges.
Applying Brow Sealer can keep finished brows looking perfect longer.
Applying tgCosmetics Eyeliner/Smudger pencil
The desired effect of an eyeliner pencil is to create the illusion of darkness just above the lashline to enhance the look of the lashes. Gently pull the lid skin taut and start at the inner part of the lid, draw a thin line smoothly and evenly along the upper lid, getting as close to the lashes as possible. 
Once you have a line drawn closely to the lashes, the length of your eyelid, use the smudger end of the eyeliner pencil blend the line until there is no edge to soften it. The effect should be an even graduated color that is darker close to the lashes and becomes lighter and disappears as it get higher. 
If the tgCosmetics liner gets smudged or uneven in the wrong places, simply take a Q-tip or tgCosmetics pointed makeup applicator with a little makeup remover to clean it up or remove it and start again.
Extend a very thin pencil line as close to the lashline as possible, along the most inner part of the upper lid near the nose. This is a place often forgotten but add an attractive natural definition to the eye.
Usually the upper lids are all you need to line. If you want to line the lower lashes go light as a line too heavy on the lower lashes can give an un-natural, owl-like effect on the eyes.
If you want more definition to the lower lashline but want to achieve a natural look, place a few tiny dots of color close to the lash roots along the lowers lashes, a little heavier toward the out side part of the lash to add more tone there.
Applying tgCosmetics liquid eyelinertgCosmetics Lquid eyeliner achieves a more dramatic emphasis to the eyes. It is best used when more a dramatic, glamour look is desired. The key is to carefully apply it to obtain the look you want. Use the same general application approach to applying liquid eyeliner from the eye pencil application tips above.
