Stick with a nude lip gloss if you've created dramatic eyes, and likewise, if. Luckily we have put together a list of tips to help you achieve gorgeous eyes.

Blending is so important when creating stunning eye makeup. One of the first things we notice about someone is their eyes but making the most of this feature can be a tricky skill to master. Shimmer is great on younger eyes but can highlight lines and wrinkles so the more mature lady should leave it alone. Start with your base colour, which should be the lightest, and apply over the entire area, right up to the brow.

Use colours that compliment your eye colour and skin tone. Apply a little light diffusing eye cream or concealer around the eye before applying your eye makeup, and finish with a light dusting of powder below the eye to catch any stray makeup which can then be removed easily by brushing away later. Models Direct recommend trying golds and browns on blue eyes, teals or blues on brown eyes and purple or plum based tones on green eyes.

Follow with your lid colour, then add the darkest colour to the outer corners, as close to the lash line as possible.
