How to Create Wild & Sexy Eyes With Makeup
While there are a few templates anyone can follow for basic eyeshadow application, there aren't any hard-and-fast rules for creating wild and sexy eye makeup. The creativity to come up with your own ideas and follow through on them rests entirely in your hands, but there are tips to get you started if you're looking for inspiration. If you're new to wearing makeup, you don't have to attempt the most intricate eye looks as seen in professional makeup artists' portfolios; even one eyeshadow rimming your eyes can look wild and sexy if you pick an unusual shade and texture. Practice by combining two or more of these tips at a time, depending on the effect you want to achieve. Does this Spark an idea?

Begin by prepping clean eyelids for makeup. Apply eye primer from lash line to brow bone. After the primer absorbs, smooth on an eyeshadow base, also from lash line to brow bone. Base and primer are essential when creating wild and sexy eyes to help your eye makeup go on smoothly, last longer and appear more vivid against your skin.

Follow the basic eye makeup application method (see Resources) but use different brightly colored and highly pigmented eyeshadows instead of shades for everyday. The contrast between shades is one way to create a wild look. Stipple eyeshadow pigments on your lids with a damp brush for even wilder and more vibrant color. Buff away hard lines in your application once the shadow dries. Eyeshadow that you neglect to blend looks unfinished and is anything but sexy.

Use a combination of eyeshadow textures in one look. One possible combination is a matte eyeshadow from lash line to crease, a metallic one on the crease and a shimmery formula on the brow bones and on the inner corners of your eyes. This gives your eyes depth and makes them look more expressive, which just may be considered sexy by your partner when you go out on dates.

Add glamorous touches to your eye makeup with glitter and tiny decals in a variety of shapes. You don't have to stop at your eyelids. There are glitter mascaras for sparkly eyelashes as well. Along the same lines, you can fake long and fluttery eyelashes by wearing false ones, which are available in several lengths and colors.

Modify classic looks from other eras by infusing them with your own wild and sexy touches. For instance, if you want to wear 1960s-style mod eyeliner, use a metallic liquid liner in a flashy shade instead of the traditional one in matte black.
