Makeup Secrets Revealed
How to look great all the time No Matter What.
No
matter if blue, brown, hazel or green, eyes have been referred to as “windows
to the soul,” giving those who exchange glances the power to better grasp
one’s personality and emotions. Eyes reveal joy and elation as much as they
uncover sadness, melancholy and distress. Sometimes pensive, mischievous or
mysterious, eyes can let us in on little secrets we might otherwise miss in
dealings with people we know and love.
Eyes can exercise a special power of seduction
by casting an enchanting gaze in another’s direction. A wink can signal a
special understanding or remind another of an inside joke or amusing memory.
Eyes also key into flirtation a great deal. Cartoons and old movies always
show the femme fatales batting their long, dark eyelashes in an attempt to
attract the men.
No matter what your motives, playing up the
looks of your eyes will bring a natural definition to your facial features
while accentuating perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic on your
visage. The main makeup components you may want to consider when dressing up
your pretty peepers are mascara, eye shadow and possibly eyeliner, though
sometimes pressed powder or a light foundation will work wonders for circles
under the eyes.
Eye Shadow
Depending on the hues you wish to use, you can
get a little colorful and creative with the wide selection of products for
eyelids on the market. No longer do you have to sift through dozens of shades
of eye shadow powder looking for the perfect blend…now you can accessorize
your eyes with a beautiful array of powders, creams and glittery dustings.
Traditional eye shadow powders are very easy to use with small applicator
brushes and foam pads. For a dimensional look, blend two colors of powder or
one color of powder atop a cream shadow base.
With cream-based eye shadows, less really is
more. The cream shadows generally come in small squeeze tubes that really
enhance the look of your eyes with a light application across the lid,
reaching up to your brows if you wish.
Not sure about colors? Go with something
neutral the first couple of times until you get the hang of it. Apply a light
dusting of bronze, tan or other shimmery transparent color for a gentle hint
of color.
Mascara
When selecting mascara, many factors come into
play, with each brand’s newest addition to the line claiming bigger and better
benefits. From thickening to lengthening to blackest black, waterproof and
curling, each mascara product has a special offering of its own. Considering
your own lashes, choose one that best suits your needs.
If you wish to avoid that scary-looking metal
eyelash curler that appears more like an ancient torture devise, opt for a
product that contains a curling formula. Choose the color you want to wear -
black, brown or even navy blue. With so many options available, you can add a
couple types of mascara to your collection and change your look as often as
you like!
Generally, applying two coats of mascara will
give enough definition to lashes to really make a difference. Allow the first
coat to dry before applying the second in an effort to prevent clumping. If
some of the mascara accidentally brushes onto your eyelids or underneath,
simply use a q-tip to remove it. This may necessitate touching up your eye
shadow a bit.
Eyeliner
To really define your eyes, apply a thin line
of eyeliner in black or brown, khaki, plum or navy. To properly apply the
eyeliner pencil or liquid liner, gently pull the corner of your eye outward,
forming a straight line along your lashes. Starting at the inside corner and
working toward the outside, delicately trace a line with the pencil angled
toward your lashes.
Be careful how much eyeliner you apply, as a
little really does go a long way. For a dramatic look, thicker and darker is
very acceptable. For a subtle definition, stick with a lighter application.
