Great Eyes

Eyes are the mirrors to the soul and eye makeup focuses the right kind of attention on them. We want eyes sexier, larger, longer and most of all, beautiful. Here are key things to help us get them.

1. Pick the Right Brush.

Making up eyes is more than just the right color. Picking a brush of the right size with the right bristle will make all the difference. Study the space between your upper lash line and eyebrows with your eyes opened. 3/5 of that is the perfect brush width. As for sponge tip applicators, you'll never go back to them.

2. Pick the Right Colors.

When you come right down to it, there are only a few reliable eyeshadow colors that look great on you. Other colors are for fun and experimentation. Pure browns can look outdated but shades like coral, orange, and even stealth grey can bring your eyes forward to the new millenium.

3. Get the Right Touch.


Ever wonder how some women can look more stunning using the same colors and same tools? It's all in the touch. The magically light touch.

4. Apply the Tricks.


Use eyeliner pencil to control the length of your eyes. For bright, alert, cute eyes, make the line thicker toward the ends and stop a bit outside the outer corners. For longer, sensual eyes, draw the line as much as a quarter inch past the outer corners. Blend upward and outward to create a natural looking shade.

mascaras

5. Final Step.


Select the right mascara formulation for the desired look. Apply mascara as many times as you want if your eyelashes are short and/or sparse.
