Sensational Eye Make-Up


Eye Make-up Tips

The eyes are the windows to your soul. What do your eyes say about you? Want gorgeous eyes that get attention? Use the color chart below and tips to bringing out your eyes best features and brighten-up your whole face.

Eyelashes

If you're lucky, you'll have your own long silky lashes. If you're not, you can dress up what you've got with mascara or fake lashes. Invest in an eyelash curler. When the lashes are straight, they tend to curtain the eyes and make them look smaller. When they are swept upward, more of the iris is revealed and they seem larger and more luminous.

Grip the hairs gently with the curler, count up to thirty, and release. For a more pronounced curl, release the grip and move to a new position two or three times. Another reason this is a good idea is to keep the lashes from brushing against the lenses of your eyeglasses if you wear them.

Mascara

(1) Choose the type of mascara you like best-cream, cake, waterproof, or otherwise. Whatever you choose, get any color as long as it's black. The only exception to this rule is if you have absolutely white brows and lashes; then choose brown. Be sure your eye liner is on perfectly before you start with the mascara.

(2) With a brush or wand, apply the mascara with upward and outward strokes. Don't use too much or your lashes will become matted. Now lightly pat on loose power or apply lash builder. Then mascara again.

(3) If you want to be really dramatic, you can repeat this a couple more times. You'll beastounded at the new "growth" you've produced. Apply mascara in an upward motion starting at the bottom and going up towards your eyebrows. Apply several coats to thicken eyelashes. Apply 1-2 coats to bottom lashes.

Eye Shadow Applications

corner of you lower lid to the middle of the lower lid.
