Eye makeup can be fun if you know what you’re doing. It’s even easier when you have tips and tricks to help enhance your look even more. We’ve compiled a short list below to help you get it and do it right.

  1. Do not use a mascara for more than 3 months. Why is that? Because each time you apply the liquid to your lashes and put the brush back into the bottle, you’re transporting air and bacteria into it. Longer use can potentially cause eye infections, say experts.
  2. Avoid pumping your mascara wand several times in the bottle because this pushes air in and will likely create clumps. You don’t want that.
  3. For natural eye makeup remover try coconut oil . It’s gentle on the eye and very effective too.
  4. When penciling, never extend the tail end of your brow lower than where your eyebrows begin. It must be higher or at the same level.
  5. For a square-shaped faced, the trick is to opt for a thick brow look.
  6. For round face, the goal should be a more defined brow arch.
  7. And a flat straight brow shape is perfect for a long face.

So the next time you go to apply eye makeup, use these tips to help you get it right.
