Help with eye make-up

[BELINDA IN BFLO]

What's the right way to put on eye make-up?? Is it liner, mascara, then shadow.... or shadow, mascara, and then liner?? Also, is there an easy way to put on false eyelashes?? That is the hardest part of dressing for me. I can never get those those on right. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks girls.

First, concealer if needed. Then foundation, yes on the eye.

For powder, I use a four color system. First the lightest powder all over between lashes and brow. For a liner I use a darkest powder (or Kohl pencil).

Then the next darkest shade up, from color used for lining, on the lid, and the shade between the light powder and the last shade, below the brow.

Then the mascara.

Haven't tried false lashes yet.

Have a read of this thread.... its about false eyelashes. There is a search button at the top of your screen... you will more than likely always find someone has written about something you need info on. Welcome to the forum btw... :) :)

Belinda, I wish I could have helped, but I don't really do my own makeup much.

A one minute web search turned this up:
Eye Makeup step by step (http://www.eye-liner.com/eye-make-up.html)
another method (http://www.expage.com/lynette12)
One more step by step guide, detailed (http://www.applymakeup.com/apply/eyemakeup.asp)
More eye makeup instructions (http://cosmeticmagazine.com/managearticle.asp?c=300&a=119)

Hope this helps Belinda..... I find it a shame that your request for help only got a few replies.....

Don't take the lack of replies too seriously. Even though there are hundreds of girls registered, there are usually only a handful on at any one time, and of those, many are like me, and don't have a clue. I also appreciate the advice you got from the girls! wenda

I go out as a blind person, with the dark sunglasses it saves alot of time

I put concealer on first for the base.
I always put shadow on first as it requires closing eyes....don't already have my masscare on or I'll mess it up.
Then eye liner and masscare last.

i do not know about the eye lashes. i am lucky enough to have long feminine eye lashes

Thanks DanaJ for your help. The sites you mentioned were very informative. I loved your pics about the manicure and pedicure. I'm seriously considering going for a pedicure soon. I do my toe nails myself and they are polished about 90% of the time, but to have them done would be such a kick! Definetly RED!!! Thanks again for your help.....
