Makeup tips and tricks

If you watch a makeup tutorial, you’ll be able to see exactly which products makeup artists use to create their geometric eyes.

But there are a couple smart tips to keep in mind, along with some top products to keep in your makeup bag.

Here are the basics for your most successful makeup look.

Simple geometric eye makeup

Makeup artist, Misuzu Miyake, creates amazing, minimalistic eye looks that even the most humble home artist can pull off. Yes, including you!

Her geometric eye look reinvents the basic black eyeliner look. Instead of lining the edge of the eyelid, use a liquid eyeliner to trace a line across the middle of the upper eyelid.

Then, when you reach the edge, add leave-shaped flecks for an easy, edgy look.

For contrast, you can add a simple white curve in the crease. This look is easy but it definitely stands out.

You can also channel your inner superhero with this one-color cat eye. Here, Miyake goes with one solid shadow for an exaggerated shape around the eye. And if you’d like a bit more dimension, use a darker shadow along the lower lashline.
