Define Your Eyes Using Eyeliner
What is the best eyeliner is a question many women ask. Its a question
asked often. Yet not all women want to wear eyeliner because they
want the "natural look" but have no idea that if you apply
eyeliner, you get that just that! Just applying a darker tone at the
base of your lashes adds wonderful definition, making lashes look
longer, and eyeliner can be used to help correct your eye shape if need be.
Eyeliner when applied correctly gives the illusion of longer lashes. There is
really nothing worse than white spaces between lashes to ruin a
look especially if you have light colored lashes.
There are three types of eyeliner:
Pencil- gives the softest finish, easiest to use and you can smudge it. If
you can use a pencil you can use a pencil eyeliner.
Cake- applies wet with a small brush, smudges well when using eye
shadow over it. Long lasting tends not to flake like liquid can.
Liquid – gives the most dramatic look of all the types, quick drying, needs
a steady hand. Can flake.
Gel- used like a liquid or cake but can easier to apply, its long lasting,
apply with a brush.
This article is going to talk about pencil eyeliners and hopefully give you
enough information to help you in making your choice of the best
eyeliner for you.

Brushing up on Mascara: Tips on How to Apply
With so many types of mascara brushes out there it's tough to decide which one works the best for you.
Brushing up on mascara: tips on how to apply.
The bigger the brush the better it will be creating volume.
Use a smaller brush to get the outer lashes and bottom lashes. Don't want to have two types of mascara brushes? Clean off any extra mascara clumps you see and use the tip of the wand instead. If you are blond or redhead using the tip at the base of your lashes covers up any lash that maybe looking two tone. Be very careful not to poke yourself in the eye doing it.
Tip applying mascara start with your outer lashes and sweep from root to tip.
When applying mascara one way to get all your lashes covered is to use the zig zag. Like going back and forth like you would brushing your teeth. Another way is to hold your brush at the base of your lashes and wink. It will apply mascara evenly and quickly.
Always curl your lashes before applying mascara. It is really easy to use too. Put the lash into the curler, push down on the curler count to 5 and move the curler up your lashes, count to 5 and do it one more time. This way you are curling all your lashes. If you do like many say putting the lash curler at the base and count to 10 and you’re done. Doing it once at the base of your lashes, can make your lashes look unnatural like bent straight up. Never curl your lashes after applying mascara. While the mascara is wet it can get stuck to your lash curler and possibly pull them out. Now some have said they use the lash curler like at the end of the day before getting ready to back out to a party or something. But always when your mascara is dry never wet.
Selecting The Right Eye Shadow For You
No matter how skillfully a woman applies her makeup to the rest of her
face, if the wrong eye makeup is applied it can ruin the look faster
than anything!
Your expressive eyes are the focal point of your whole face, why ruin it
by wearing the wrong eye makeup?
Unfortunately your eyes are also the first place that will show the first
signs of aging, if your eye makeup is overdone; it can make you
look older, tired and hard. No one wants that!
Tips in selecting the right eye shadows for you:
There are three main types of eye shadows to pick from. Cream, powder
or liquid. There are other types such as pencils or crayons but they
are not as common as they once were.
Cream eye shadows are a good idea if you have delicate eyelid skin. But
you must be careful if you choose this type because creamy,
oil-based are not for wrinkled skin or drooping eyelids. The reason
why this type of eye shadow can be a wrong choice is your body
heat turns eye makeup oily, and creams will collect in the fold and
melt!
Cream eye shadows do have their advantages. They are easy to apply,
easier to create subtle shading effects when used with other types of
eye shadows. If your skin is normal to dry, then cream eye
shadows might be a good choice for you.
Powder eye shadows. They are probably the best choice in eye shadows
for most women of all ages. One of the reason’s being you can find
just about every color under the sun in powder eye shadows! One
word about color selection, its best to keep as natural as possible for
work. Choose between wearing taupe’s and grays for shadows, light
peach, pink or buff for highlighting and try a soft violet or blue
inside the crease.
If you want to go dramatic do it at night, it will be too much for daytime.
Try to avoid any color with iridescence in it. Light reflecting particles
only attract more attention if you have wrinkled skin. That is best for
the younger set.
The biggest complaint against wearing powder eye shadows is that it does
come off. Wearing a eye shadow will help with keeping your eye
shadow in place longer through the day. Don’t rub your eyes either,
for that will remove your eye shadow as well.
Liquid eye shadows come in a tube with usually a brush or sponge tip.
Problem with liquid is once it dries, it doesn’t blend or smudge. It has
more staying power than other types of eye shadows which is its
major advantage. Many use a liquid eye shadow as their base for
their powder eye shadows.
Pencils are not really eye shadows per say but some use them as such.
Most of the time pencil eye shadows are used as eye liner because
of the ease in use. They have amazing staying power and can really
bring out your eyes. But you must be careful in applying them
because too much can make you look like you have two black
eyes instead.
I hope this help give you ideas of how to pick the right eye shadow type
for yourself. Eye shadows can really be lots of fun to play
around with. Whatever choice you pick, have light hands when you
apply it, don’t over do it. It’s easier to add more than it is to
take it off and start over again.
