Things To Remember While Buying and Using An Eye Makeup Set
Start with neutral colours - It's really tempting when you see pretty colours to dive right into a bold palette, but if you're just starting out, it's a good idea to stick to the basics. Starting with nude shades will not only allow you to create some great looks, but it'll also allow you to get comfortable with how to use palettes and combine colours.
Always pick quality over quantity – Unless you are a makeup artist or a budding makeup blogger, you don’t need an eye makeup set which has 50 shades! Don’t opt for something cheaper in quality just because you are getting a crazy amount of colours in your eye makeup set. Instead, save up and invest in a quality palette that you'll actually get use out of.
Don’t go overboard with colours – Just because your eye makeup set has 10 shades doesn’t mean you have to have all of them on your eyelid! Pick 2-3 colours and then create a look out of it. There are some colours which are good for your crease while some are great to just open up your eyes. Know which colour does what and use accordingly.
Buy the right tools – Not all eye makeup sets come with brushes and sometimes, they aren’t of great quality. If you are starting off on your makeup journey, it’s better to pick a brush while buying your eye makeup set so that you can try it together before buying them.
