dramatic eyes

Overly plucked eyebrows look unnatural and make your eyes appear smaller.
Use Eye shadow to shape and define your eyes. Three shades are ideal with the darkest on the lid and the lightest just below the brow bone.
Neutral tones are the best for daytime.
Cream eye shadow is best used sparingly and only in cool weather. It has a tendency to crease. If you prefer the cream look, try a frost powder shadow that has a similar look.
Powder eye shadow stays on the longest.
Matte eye shadow looks better than frost if you’re tired. Frost shadow draws attention to wrinkles.
Extend your eye shadow above the lid (crease) and use a light shadow or highlighter right beneath your brow to open up your eyes and make them appear larger.
Using an eyelash curler before you apply mascara will shape your lashes and extend them to the fullest potential. To prevent damage, do not hold the curler too close to the roots.
Black/Brown mascara and eyeliner flatters most faces, blondes, brunettes, and redheads. Black is usually too harsh, especially for blondes.
For extra thick, fuller eyelashes, apply mascara to the top and bottom of your lashes.
When applying mascara to your bottom lashes, fold a sheet of toilet paper or tissue underneath the lashes and apply. This keeps mascara from getting on your face.
Mascara is best when two coats are applied. Make sure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
Use unscented baby wipes to remove eye make-up. Rub lightly.
If you use liquid eye liner for a more dramatic effect, practice making straight lines. Crooked eyeliner will ruin your look.
Eyeliner on the lower lids can make your eyes appear smaller. To open them up, line only the upper lids.
Put your eye pencils in the freezer for a few minutes before sharpening.
If your mascara is getting dried out and thick, soak the entire tube (closed tightly) into a glass of hot water. Let cool before applying.
Waterproof mascara is a must if you’re participating in swimming and outdoor sports. Same goes for emotional events such as weddings and funerals.
