Your best bet is to watch tutorials on youtube and then practice

Good brushes and learning the correct application technique for the style you want is the way forward. Finding out which styles of makeup look best on your eye shape is also half the battle x

Just a little bit of a light sparkly colour along the eyelid and then a darker colour gently patted in to blend at the outer corners, is often enough for effect.

Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes is a lovely one. It shows you how and where to apply each colour as well. Oh and decent brushes always help.

Cannot recommend watching video tutorials, testing out what works for you, finding the right brushes, being bold! Can't recommend that one enough!!

Nars palettes are great, strong colours and easy to apply. I just put a peachy colour all over and blend a brown at outer edge and lower lash.

Peach/brown makes blue eyes pop

I find the quality really good of the pallets from Superdrug called Revolution.

(They may be sold it in other shops too I'm not sure). There is so many to choose from

Don’t over complicate it until you learn the basics. Get some decent brushes they don’t have to be expensive. Amazon or shein do decent cheap sets. Get a basic eyeshadow pallet with some neutral colours (they’re more forgiving If you mess up) use a shade or two darker than your natural skin tone and apply it all over your lid. Use what’s left of the product on your brush and in circular motions drag it up to just under your brow until it looks seamless. Then you can pick a darker shade to go into your crease , using a back and forward swiping motion, then use the light circular motion to blend it into half your eye lid to the outer edge of your eye. YouTube helps massively they have lots of tutorials !

All I use on a day to day basis is eyeliner pencil on my top eyelid with a flick (cat eye) and abit of mascara on the top eyelashes, it only takes 5 minutes but it looks really effective and classy. Xx

"Girls..What's the simplest, easiest eye make up? I can do foundation, blusher, lipsticks, but eyes, no!! Please help. "

Hi! Easiest everyday eye look is just to pat a tiny bit of your excess foundation/ concealer over your eyelids as a base to even out skin tone, smoothing it out with your finger and ensure there are no creases. Take a fluffy eyeshadow brush or small contouring brush and sweep/ push your bronzer into your socket line, in a back and forth motion. This will really open up your eyes and make them look fresh. If you like, add a little black or dark brown liner to your lash line (work it into the roots of your lashes and get a bit thicker towards the outer corners), smudge it out with a small brush/ cotton bud if preferred and then finish off with a couple of coats of black mascara.

If you want to go for colour on your eyes, try the following:

Blue eyes: Golds, browns, bronzes, peaches, coppers

Green eyes: pinks, plums, purples

Brown Eyes: Blues, navy’s, cool toned purples

Tip: If your mascara tends to smudge, I put regular mascara on my top lashes and waterproof mascara on the bottom.

Hope that helps x

Regarding eye liners.

Used black for years, but it never looked right.. I have blue eyes.. Then I changed to blue eye liner..

Suits me better than black.

Book a session with a make up artist. It's invaluable. They'll show you on one eye, then you can practice on the other. They'll teach you the best methods for your eye shape, if you have hooded lids etc.

Make-up styles can date, such as bright blue eyeshadow or thick eyeliner.

Also, there's a big difference between daytime and evening makeup.

Good luck!

That all depends on your eye colour, skin colour, bone structure, eye shape, face shape, age, skin type, time of day, time of year, occasion, skill and budget.

I use brown, navy, or aubergine coloured for the same reason

Simple but effective - take a single colour, a neutral shimmer close to your skin tone (brown, metallic). Tap it along the bottom of your eyelid, apply increasingly less as you go up, and smudge it just above the crease (the fold where your eyelid starts). It's nothing fancy, but it always works.

More complicated, get a pencil eyeliner and line the skin just above the lashes, as well as or instead of the shadow. Use tiny strokes rather than trying to draw an entire line. It won't be perfect, it never is, but it'll be less wonky that way. Don't bother with anything like a cat eye until you're much more confident.

And tutorials. Basic ones if you can find them.

"This is the sort of info I require. Thank you and I shall also be watching tutorials on YouTube. Thanks everyone for your help x"

For sure YouTube tutorials will refine technique but it is worth making the point that if you make up just for the evening and occasionally, get cheaper stuff from Lidl / Aldi / Superdrugs to experiment. The more expensive stuff uses better quality ingredients to last longer on both the face and in container.

Cheaper means you can experiment without feeling the pinch.

For example, it took me a while to find the perfect liquid eyeliner. I can't stand the feathery thin brushes. The brand Collection's liquid eyeliner comes in a medium thick brush that goes to a fine point. With practice, I can paint quickly without having to keep redipping.

The Elf bite size eyeshadow palettes are supposed to be excellent, and they're dirt cheap

Wow thanks for posting! I thought Elf was a French Petrol company but just Googled now I know it's makeup from Superdrugs!

And the four shades look useful too. What I found with large pellets is there are colours that run out and those that are untouched!

In Asia, there is a South Korean company Elianto that sells solo eyeshadow in sustainable cardbox containers but also sell a plastic pallet holder with four empty slots for the solo to fit in. When I ran out of one colour, I just buy another solo and drop it in the holder. So much more environmentally friendly!

Absolutely. They also have their own website if you find you like them. I'm a fan of their brushes. They're nowhere as cheap as they used to be, as a brand, and their quality is still hit and miss, but those palettes, brushes, tools, definitely. Otherwise... It can be a gamble.
