What are the best eye make-up tips for beginners?

The secret to a professional look is all in the preparation and the tools. Always start with a primer to create a smooth, even base; this prevents creasing and makes your eye shadow colours pop. For a foolproof application, use a soft blending brush to diffuse any harsh lines. If you're unsure where to start, a natural eye make-up look (using neutral tones slightly darker than your skin tone in the crease) is the most flattering way to add subtle definition.

How do I create a classic smokey eye make-up look?

To achieve a sophisticated smokey eye make-up finish, start by lining your upper and lower lash lines with a soft eyeliner pencil and smudge it gently with a sponge tip. Layer a dark eyeshadow over the liner, blending it upwards towards the crease. The key is to keep the darkest pigment closest to the lashes and fade it out as you go higher. Finish with several coats of a volumising mascara to add drama and intensity to the look.

What is the best eye make-up for sensitive eyes?

At Clarins, we prioritise both beauty and comfort. The best eye make-up for sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers is formula-driven. Our products are enriched with soothing plant extracts. To prevent irritation, ensure you are using a gentle, dedicated eye make-up remover at the end of the day to thoroughly cleanse the area without the need for harsh rubbing.

How can I make my eye make-up last longer?

Even if you aren't wearing much colour, a light dusting of setting powder over your eyelids can prevent natural oils from breaking down your liner or shadow. For maximum staying power, choose a waterproof mascara.
