The eyes are considered the most powerful weapon that a woman possesses, so she should take good care of them and show them in a way that highlights them. But the process of applying eye makeup can be difficult and deceptive at times. So we give you 10 golden rules for doing just that and then you will be the golden woman:

1- Permanent use of primer: The use of a primer is an important base, as it acts as a barrier between the eye shadow and the natural oil in your skin.

2-Improve your natural eye color: Choose a shade that will intensify your natural eye color.

3- Know the shape of your eye: In addition to taking into account the color of the eye, you should also study the shape of your eye, which will help you determine which technique can be used in the process of applying shadows and showing your natural beauty.

4- Dividing the eyeshadow palette: It is very important to know which part or color of the shadows in the palette or box matches each section of your eye.

5- Blending is essential: The process of shading and blending at the edge of the eye is the most important. Use a soft brush and do the shading in a soft way and to do it in a professional way you need the right brush, and with this we come to the sixth rule.

6- Invest in the right brush: There are plenty of eye shadow brushes of all shapes and sizes, so it doesn't get confusing, you have to choose the right brush.

7- Taking care of your tools: Cleaning your eyeshadow brushes is probably the last thing you think of, but it is very important and a priority. We're talking about your eyes here, so hygiene is of the essence. Put the brush under lukewarm water and then wash it with a small amount of shampoo. Leave it on a clean cloth to dry.

8- Choose your formula wisely: Pressed powder eye shadows are the most popular. But there are other types, such as oil shadows or cream shadows, which are ideal if you want to get a soft look, but be careful here because they can wrinkle easily especially if you have an oily eyelid.

9- Avoid the monochromatic look: Avoid using colors that match each other. Be bold with your use of colour, but just make sure that there is a complete and clear balance when you're done with the whole process.

10- Use a setting spray: As a final step, do not forget to use a setting spray.
