Eyeshadows
Eyeshadows give a soft smoky effect and are very effective in highlighting and definingyour eyes. To bring out the beauty of your eyes, you need to consider your skinand eye colors while choosing the color of an eyeshadow. The color should blendwell with your skin tone, dress and makeup. Eyeshadows come in a variety of forms—pressedpowders, cream, stick and liquid eyeshadows. Available in pearly and matt textures,pressed powders are the most popular form of eyeshadows.

Application of eyeshadows

* Using a small brush, apply base color to the entire lid from the outside to theinside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.
* After that a deeper shade is blended into the crease line.
* Apply a lighter shade under the brow bone area to highlight the eyes.
* A light or bright shade on the lid will make your eyes appear larger, while a darktone will make your eyes appear smaller.
* Avoid dark tones if you have very light skin.

Mascara
Mascara creates a flattering fringe to your eyes. It thickens and darkens the eyelashesand gives the eye makeup, the finishing touch. There are three forms of mascara:



* Water-based mascara: Water-based mascaras won’t stay for a long time, as it tendsto smudge easily when it comes into contact with water or perspiration. They aregentle to your lashes and can be removed easily.
* Water-proof mascara: Water-proofmascaras are generally water- and smudge-proof. It takes long time to dry and difficultto remove it. You may have to use a cosmetic cleaner to remove them from your lashes.
* Mixed-variety mascara: Mixed-variety mascaras are combination of water-based andwater-proof mascaras. They dry quickly, are easy to remove and produce little orno smudging.


Application of mascara

* Most of the mascaras are applied with spiral wands that are quick and easy to use.
* Start by applying mascara to your upper lashes from their base to the tips, curling them up upward with the brush.
* Next, use the tip of the mascara wand to brush your lower lashes, using a gentle side-to-side technique.
* Make sure that you keep and steady while you are applying the mascara and do not blink while the mascara is still wet. You can apply mascara again for a more defined effect.
* Finally brush through your lashes with an eyelash comb to remove any excess, and to prevent your lashes from clumping.

Hi
Apply eyeliner outside the lash line (away from the eye) to avoid direct contact of the cosmetic with the eye. There also will be less chance that the liner will flake off into the eye. Avoid waterproof mascara- I know it is tempting to try especially if your eyes water a lot, but it impossible to remove from your eyelashes! Avoid colored mascara- black is the least irritating. Try hypoallergenic make-up Replace cosmetics every six months (more often if you wear contact lenses) to avoid excess contamination with skin bacteria. Never use an old applicator in a fresh cosmetic product. The applicator will transfer bacteria to the new cosmetic.

Thanks
