Hi all,
Here are the basics for eye makeup.  Just as a side note, these are all
things that I came up with through personal experimentation and questions,
I'm sure there are many other ways to accomplish these tasks.
Eye shadow: I just use my pointer finger because I found that I applied too
much when using the wand.  Get some eye shadow on the tip of your pointer
finger, I usually swirl my finger around the top two or three times.  Now
find the bridge of your nose with your middle finger.  From there you can
gently touch the corner of your eye nearest your nose (with the pointer),
but make sure you only get makeup on the lid.  Now swipe your finger outward
toward the other corner of your eye.  Be sure to stay right above your eye
lashes.  Now repeat with one more swipe, (the number of swipes will depend
on the color).
Mascara: Okay for beginners I would recommend using either an old mascara
wand that has been cleaned off or one of those little eyebrow brushes that
has a comb on the back for practice.  The trick with mascara is finding your
eye lashes without touching any other part of your face.  Be sure to relax
so that your hands are steady.
Here's how to do the right eye: Hold the mascara wand in your right hand.
Close your eyes, put the wand where you think your lashes are.  Now blink.
If you don't feel anything touch your lashes, close your eye again and move
the wand closer to your eye.  Repeat this step until you feel the wand
brushing your lashes.  Once you feel something, continue blinking until you
feel you have applied enough to this section.  The more you blink the more
volume you get and the longer your lashes appear (2 or 3 blinks is usually
good though).  Pay attention to which section you have already done, I
usually start on the outer part of my eye and move inward.  When moving to a
new part of the lashes, close your eye, and slowly move the wand.  When your
ready to see which part you're at hold your hand still and blink.  Tip: I've
found that resting my hand on the side of my face (where my jaw
is) helped me maintain orientation and relax a bit.  After it dries you can
gently touch it and make notes for next time.  If you touch the wrong part
of your skin with makeup, wait until your done applying to worry about it.
Just use a warm face cloth and scrub it off.
I don't use eye liner, I'm more of a mascara girl.
Sorry for the long-winded explanation,

Lizzy
