Your eye makeup nearly dictates your overall look. Whether you prefer a simple, everyday style or bold, dramatic eyes, the right products can help you set the tone of your makeup. However, with so many options available, it can be difficult to decide what you actually need.

To help you build a complete makeup kit, here are some essential eye makeup products that everyone should have, to improve their makeup routine.

Eye Primer

Before applying any eye makeup, you need a good primer. This product creates a base for your eye makeup, helping it go on smoothly and stay in place throughout the day. It makes your eyelids smooth and allows the makeup to glide on better. This prevents your eyeshadow from creasing or fading while retaining its colour intensity.

Pro Tip: Use a matte primer if you have oily skin. If your skin is dry, choose a dewy primer for more comfort.

Colour Corrector

Covering dark circles can feel like a mammoth task. Sometimes a concealer is just not enough. This is where a colour corrector comes in. It covers your dark circles and keeps you from looking dull and tired. Using contrasting pigments, a colour corrector helps balance out these areas, making it easier for the concealer to do its job. It also helps the concealer blend smoothly and gives your under-eye area a brighter look.

Pro Tip: Apply a small amount of peach or orange corrector with your fingertip or a damp sponge for a natural finish.

Concealer

Once you have applied a colour corrector, it’s time for brightening. A good concealer helps even out your skin tone and covers dark circles, redness, and blemishes to make your under-eye area look fresh and smooth. It can also help define your eye makeup, especially if you’re using subtle shades

Pro Tip: Choose a concealer one shade lighter than your foundation to add a subtle highlight under your eyes.

Eyebrow Pencil

Your eyebrows frame your face and give structure to your features. An eyebrow pencil helps fill in any scanty areas in your brows and defines your brow shape with precision. You can also layer it with a tinted brow gel to keep your eyebrows in place all day. Keep these pencils handy to add symmetry to your face and let your makeup look more polished

Pro Tip: Choose a pencil shade that matches your natural brow colour. Use light strokes to create a natural effect.

 Eyeshadow

An eyeshadow palette with a mix of light and dark shades allows you to create different eye makeup looks. Whether you want to go for something subtle or bold, an eyeshadow helps you set the tone, enhance your eye shape, and complete your makeup look. Eyeshadows let you create depth and dimension while letting you try different styles. They also complement the rest of your makeup and help you create a balanced look.

Pro Tip: Use a neutral matte shade in the crease to blend your eyeshadow smoothly.

Wrapping Up!

Your eye makeup routine can be simple or detailed, depending on your preference. However, having the right products ensures that your makeup looks good and lasts longer. An eye primer gives you a smooth base, a colour corrector and concealer even out your skin, an eyebrow pencil defines your brows, and eyeshadow helps enhance your eyes.

Whether you are new to makeup or already experienced, keeping these essentials in your kit will help you create any look you want with ease.
