Remedies For
Puffy Eyes :
Take a metal spoon and run it under cold water.
Place the metal on the puffy area for at least 60
seconds.
Apply haemorrhoid cream (look for brands that contain
ingredients of yeast and shark's liver oil) to the
puffy area. Insiders have known for years that in
just the way it gets the swelling out of that other
area, it works the same way for the face.
Thin cucumber slices used as compresses over closed
eyes will relieve sore, puffy eyes. |

Lining Eyes
:
Dust a sheer, loose powder on the upper and lower
lids so the eyeliner sticks better. If you are going
to curl your lashes, do it now. (Otherwise you could
smudge the line.).
Choose the right formula. For a cleanstraight line,
use a liquid version (try one with felt tip, like
those from Lancome or L'Oreal). To create a softer,
more subtle line, pencils are best. |

Curl And Lengthen
Your Eyelashes :
Draw wand out of mascara tube and remove access
on a piece of paper towel.Hold wand horizontally
and slowly twirl as you move the brush from the
roots to the tips.To set curl, hold wand and lashes
together at the tips for a several seconds.Apply
second coat before the first coat has dried to avoid
clumping.Apply mascara carefully to the bottom lashes,
holding wand vertically.While lashes are still wet,
comb through the lashes (carefully) with a lash
comb to separate each lash. |

Make Him Melt
With Big, Doe Eyes :
Eyeliner is the magic wand for creating the illusion
of bigger, more expressive eyes. Line the entire
top lash line and extend the line slightly at the
corners. You can also line the bottom of your eyes,
but concentrate color only on the outer third and
extend it slightly past the edge. (We're not talking
Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra here.) A soft, smoky
look will open your eyes more than a thin, hard
line. Stick to dark, neutral colors with a hint
of black for lining, as bright shades will only
make them seem smaller. |

Emphasize Eyes
:
For evening glamour, line the inside of lower lids
with navy, violet or jade eye pencil. |
| |
Bloodshot Eyes
:
An easy way to reduce the redness is to scoop cold
water into your hands and splash it on your closed
eyes. This should be enought to reduce the capillaries.
If this isn't enough, mild drops that can be found
at your local drug store may be required. Also be
certain that the cause of the redness is not attributed
to an irritation to your eye shadow or mascara. |

COSMETIC TIP!!
:
Eyeliner...the best is liquid but if your hand is
just a little too shaky and you end up with a mess...try
lining with a pencil and then lining over it with
cake liner...much easier to handle! |

Eye Makeup and
Eye Infections :
If you have been suffering from recurring eye infections,
it could be your eye makeup. These products can
easily be contaminated with germs and as a result,
be the cause of the infection. |

Eye Shadow Application
After 40 :
You might notice a tendency for your lids to appear
somewhat crepey. This makes shadow application more
difficult. To counteract this, stay away from bright
colors. Subtley is what you are looking for at this
point as softer colors are far more flattering and
less aging. |

Eyeshadow That
Stays In Place :
Melting eyeshadow is a problem for all of us but
there is a way to make it "stick" a little
longer. I have found that if you use a damp eyeshadow
brush and apply a layer of face powder to your lids
and allow to set, the shadow will stay in place
for the day. Takes an extra second or so but the
effort is well worth it. |
| |
Powder Liner
Know How :
If you line your eyes with a powder shadow and it
simply goes everywhere as you apply it, do so while
holding a tissue directly beneath your eye to catch
the shadow particles. Works every time. |
| |
Sponge Tip Applicators
:
This is the first time that I have seen information
that gives you a reason not to throw these applicators
away. I read about this practise recently and decided
to give it a try. Instead, of using a brush for
light colors, use the sponge applicator. It picks
up more color and gives you better coverage. I tried
this and it does work. Actually, I like it even
better than the eye shadow brushes. I wouldn't suggest
using it for dark colors however. |

To Make Eyes
Look Younger :
The first step is to apply a little eye cream on
the brow bone and under the eye. this will reduce
fine lines. Now dab on a concealer that matches
your skin tones. The last step is to line the eye
with a white pencil just beneath the lash line.
It will give the impression of larger and brighter
eyes. |
| |
Using an Eye
Shadow Pencil :
Don't draw the pencil across your eyelid as this
could cause stretching of the skin. Instead, apply
the color to the palm of your hand, pick up some
of the color with your pinky and apply gently to
eyelid.
