15 Eye Makeup Tricks To Steal From Bloggers
I love playing with makeup, but sometimes the challenge of mastering a single technique can drive me to the "no makeup" trend real quick. If you're having trouble in the eyeshadow department like me, however, you should know that the internet is full of many wonderful tutorials and hacks that will help guide you in the right direction. Here are 15 eye makeup tricks to steal from popular bloggers. I promise, this is going to be fun.
YouTube has become the go-to library of information on all things makeup. While you can see swatches of new products or tutorials on seasonal looks, you can also get super specific advice on a range of beauty techniques
, like how to apply shadow on a hooded lid or what to do with extra long lashes. You can find tips and tricks tailored to your unique eye shape, eye color, lash length, style, or skin tone, and more! I guarantee there's a YouTube channel out there just for you and your preferences — it's a big, wide world out there on the 'net, and advice from these beauty vloggers are way more accessible (and affordable!) than heading to beauty school.
Whether you want to learn how to properly apply liquid eyeliner or take off your makeup without crying, YouTube is the place to go. There's a lot to learn when it comes to eye makeup, so I rounded up some of my favorite how-to videos on everything you need to know, from basic techniques to the more complicated tricks.
