In my opinion, I think the eyes are very important for makeup. Usually it is the part which will spends you longest time to makeup. When the eyes makeup is done, then other parts are easy to finish. And eyes are the soul and a good makeup can not leave them alone.

As with most things, I think it is important to get the foundation right, and then everything else should follow. This is true whether it is cheeks, eyes, whatever. It is important to apply moisturiser first, allow it to soak into the skin so that creams and powders applied to the skin go on well and do not flake. With eyes, I like to put on a smooth layer of a pale colour, cream or even white. Then build the colour from there.

I do agree that eye make-up is very important, but without a good cover of foundation one could end up looking like they have racoon eyes. Unless your one of the few people in the world who were blessed with a flawless complextion.

Panda eyes well that's sounds a lot cuter than racoon eyes. Exspecially when you consider how dirty racoons are.

For me, I think the eyes are important but I think the foundation is important as well to have that flawless silky skin.

Most days i will put make up on...its very rare that I dont.... But the one thing that I would say that I would never leave off is my lipstick... without it I feel bare.....a while ago I was wearing quite a deep pink one ...it was a beautiful colour..but I think maybe as im a little more mature ive tone it down a bit...and wear a paler shade. I do use foundation and blusher...and though i love to see eyes that are nicely made up ..I dont like to put too much on mine..they are a wee bit crinkly!!! the shadow gets into the crinkles....so from my point of view I just use a tiny bit of colour on them....then add a good amount of mascara...the mascara I find makes my eyes look wider...more open...I use black mascara.....

If I have to makeup, usually it's a light makeup only.

I agree,i also think the eyes are more important.If you enhance natural beauty of your eyes,everything else will come in place. The mascara must be just right,too! Foundation is important for some people,i might use a tiny dab of concealer but i don't like liquid powder or anything like that. And i almost never use lipstick. Do you always use perfume after prettying yourself up?:)

I think the eyes are important too. I guess the biggest necessity for me though is a good foundation cause my skin is kind of blotchy.

I agree it's the eyes too! Actually eyes are the most difficult part to finish and it's hard to get them beautifully done. If the eyes are done really nicely, actually other areas don't really need much!

I have the same opinion with you,i think the eyes are the soul in our face.If one's eyes are shine and twinkling.you will be seemed wise and cute.I don't like to make so many makeup in my face,but sometimes i will make the eyeline and make eye black.It will let my eye looks bigger.

I can ot agree with you more. The eyes part is really important for the whole makeup. Recently I've been interested in makeups. For one thing, I am already 21 and do not know that much about makeup. I think it will be better for me to have some knowledge of that. For another, it will be useful when I go to work. I did spend some time to study how to make the eyes part works. But...I just still working on it. It is really not that simple for a green hand.

Yep I also think it is most important to do my eyes (especially to minimise my dark shadows). I start work very early so I do my makeup in less tha five minute, simplicity is the key!

Yep, I believe most of us do agree that eyes are the most important part for makeup. Eyes, so called the windows of the soul,are always the most attractive parts of the face . There are most features like eyebrow, eyelid, upper and lower part of eyelash, eyeliner, highlight and ... around the eye part to be cared of. That’s why we need to pay more attention and take longer time on them when doing any makeup.

For me.. a good foundation is the most important thing in applying your makeup.. and yes, I agree that this creates a good canvas for the rest of the stuff that you have to put on..the next thing is the eyes.. since from there.. you could create a whole new set of looks that you want to achieve.. you could also play with different colors so the possiblities are endless..

Hi youless! I do agree with you. When the eyes are beautifully done, it usually brings out the best in one's personality. The eyes are the ones that I always have difficulty in doing. Most of us look at the eyes first on another person before anything else. Just my thoughts dear friend. Take care and have a nice day!

You are right, the eyes has to be makeup first before other parts of the face. In addition the sensitives part of our body need to be taking proper care of before other parts
