Our eyes are the first thing anyone notices about our face – and to give the right impression yours need to be bright, sparkling and attention  grabbing. The only problem is that using computers and going short of sleep can mean eyes are often red and puffy – grabbing attention for all the wrong reasons. Learning how to beat these problems is an important part of eyecare but equally important is knowing how to make the most of your eyes with make-up. Every shadow you use on your face matters.
Top 5 Colour Tricks For Eyes
- Blue liner placed along the lower lid of the eye will make red eyes look whiter.
- Dark shadows make eyes recede. Use them on prominent eyes or in areas you want to shade. like the socket crease. Light colours or shimmer make eyes look bigger and bring the area you use them on forward. They’re great for deep Âset eyes or to highlight brow bones.
- Avoid wearing shadows the same shade as your eye colour; they’ll make your eyes disappear
- A dot of shimmery shadow in the middle of the lid makes the eyes stand out on the face; a dot on the inside corner will make close set eyes look further apart.
- If your eyshadow always creases(which can happen on onily skin), try a sparkle. As the surface never looks flat, lines won’t show as much.
Top 5 Application Tricks For Eyes
How you apply mascara depends on the colour of your lashes. If you have blonde lashes you need to make sure you get the colour right into the roots. This means using the wand vertically at first to colour right by the base of the lashes. Now you just brush through with the wand. if you have darker lashes then apply normally, sweeping from root to tip.
- If you want to wear two coats of mascara, make sure you apply the second before the first has dried  otherwise you’ll create clumping. Then comb the lashes.
- If you’re using dark shadow, apply eye make-up before putting on your foundation. Thls prevents specks failing onto your foundation. Or alternatively apply a layer of translucent face powder under the eye and sweep this off (along with any specks) when you’ve finished making up your eyes. But be warned – this only works if you use totally matt, colourless powder. Otherwise, you’ll get white Circles under the eyes – especially in photographs.
- Don’t pump the mascara wand in and out of the tube in an attempt to get more colour on it. This will simply introduce air into the tube and dry out the mascara.
- Never apply liner inside the eyelid. Little clumps can break off and tear the film of the eye, causing irritation.
