How To Do A Natural Eye In 5 Steps

Ready to get your own beautiful, natural Eye look? Here are five steps to get you started:

1. Curl Your Lashes

The first step to any great eye look is to curl your lashes. In addition to making the eye look open and awake, curling the lashes can also make applying eyeliner and mascara easier.

To add some extra curl to the lash, give your lash curler a quick blast under a hairdryer (test it before using to ensure it's not too hot) or hold it in your palms for a moment before using. The heat will help set the lash and enhance the curl.

2. Apply Your Highlighting Shadow Over The Entire Eyelid

Using a flat eyeshadow brush, apply your highlighting shadow over the entire eyelid, deepening the color as you near the lash line. Blend the edges for a softer look with a fluffy eyeshadow brush.

3. Line Your Eyes

Using your natural-toned liner, line your eyes from the top lash line out to the corner of the eye. If you'd like, you can do a slight, upturned cat eye. Retrace the line several times if needed to make it thick and pronounced. Be sure also to smudge the liner downwards, to get it on the base of your lashes.

4. Swipe on Mascara

Once you've got your eyeliner just the way you want it, swipe on some mascara to help make your eye makeup pop and cover any leftover shadow on the lashes. For best results, start at the base of the lash and work your way to the tip, wiggling the brush slightly at the base to ensure all sides are coated. Apply 2-3 coats, depending on your preference.

5. Finish With Pink Lips

To finish your natural eye look off, add a light pink lipstick. Press your lips together after applying to ensure it's adequately blended, and off you go!

While natural products can be an excellent way to get a beautiful, safe, environmentally-friendly look, they're not necessary.

What you'll find in the makeup business is that many stylists use a mixture of natural and non-natural products, picking and choosing between what they like, what works best, and what's natural or organic.

The one major benefit of natural products is that they may be less irritating than standard products. As such, you may want to look into natural or organic products if you have sensitive eyes or skin. For best results, talk to your local cosmetic specialist about what will work with your skin.

No matter what type of eye makeup you use, remember that it can be irritating when left on for excessive periods of time. As such, you should always remove your makeup (with a formula that's safe for use around the eyes) before you go to bed at night and before you go to the gym or do anything else that could make you sweat and thus cause the makeup to run into your eyes.
