How to do a daytime eye.

So many of my clients come to me asking how to do a daytime eye. Many people find it easier to do a night eye as they can just keep adding on. The key for doing a day eye is having the right colours. You want colours that show on your skin tone but also enhance your eyes and make them "pop". The firsts step in achieving this is to have a good eye base. An eye base will set the eye lid up for the shadows you will put on it. It also will keep the shadow on longer and show the true colour. You then need a colour palette that works with your natural colouring. This will depend on your eye, hair and skin. You want a natural colour palette that you can add onto for a night look. First you will start with a highlight to accent your brow bone. Then you will add the contour on your lid, you will need a good eye liner and accent colour for really opening up your eyes. You finish the eye with a blend that ties the whole look together.

Your Personal Colouring

Every person has colouring unique to their features. The colour wheel shows how this works. The Munsell colour system works like this:

The wheel is comprised of 6 different parts.

Light & Deep

Warm & Cool

Clear & Soft

Every person will be 3 of these with 1 as their dominant colouring. This is why certain colours may look great on your best friend but really just don't suit you.

You have probably heard of warm colouring and cool colouring when it comes to your makeup but it is not limited to warm or cool. True you will be either warm or cool but that may not be your dominant colouring and you need to keep that it mind. Make sure when you buy makeup it is right for your colouring.

Your colours are not only limited to makeup you should also keep them in mind in your wardrobe. Your wardrobe should work with your natural colouring. If you are wearing the right colours people will notice you, not the colour you have on.
