How to Achieve Flirty, Defined Eyes


Everyone wants to have beautiful eyes, and anyone can achieve them with a little effort.

Steps

a. Apply your mascara:

1. Clamp an eyelash curler on the roots of your eyelashes and squeeze gently for five seconds. This will give your lashes volume and instantly open up the eyes. For even more curl, clamp the eyelash curler on the middle and tips of lashes, squeezing gently to avoid a 90 degree angle.

2. Apply a primer to your lashes. (Many mascaras are now double-sided and come with primer on one end.) The primer will thicken the lashes. Be sure to brush the outer and inner corners. Let dry for 30 seconds.

3. After 30 seconds, wipe off any excess primer with a tissue. Sweep one coat of mascara on the upper lashes from the roots to the tips. Use brown or brownish-black mascara if you are fair-skinned or blonde. Otherwise use black.

4. While the first coat is still wet, apply a second layer of mascara. Applying a second coat when the first coat is dry will look clumpy.

5. Wait for lashes to dry completely, then use a clean lash comb to seperate the individual lash hairs and remove clumps.

6. If you want to, carefully brush one layer of mascara on your lower lashes. Be sure to use a lash comb or pinch off any clumps.

b. Apply your eyeliner:

1. Stand six inches away from a mirror and tilt your chin up, so that when you look down your nose in the mirror you are able to see your entire eyelid.

2. Dab concealer or a translucent powder on your upper eyelids. Blend well. This will cover veins and prevent creasing of the eyeliner or eyeshadow.

3. Soften the tip of your eyeliner pencil by rolling it between your fingers. This will help the color glide on easily.

4. Gently pull your eyelid taut and beginning at the inner corner, draw small, connected dashes as close as possible to the roots of the upper lashes

5. Brush a matching powder shadow on top of the liner to prevent it from rubbing off.

6. To line the bottom lids, pull the skin taut and draw connected dashes as close as possible to the roots of the lower lashes. Brush a matching powder shadow on top.

7. Fix any mistakes with makeup remover or a cotton swab.

Tips

* Replace mascara as soon as it begins to get dry, not just when it runs out.

* If you are lining the inner rims of the eyes, use and eye pencil instead of a liquid liner, which may contain more bacteria.

* If your eye area is sensitive or you have contacts, normal mascara and liner may irritate. Use hypoallergenic.

* Instead of using eyeglasses or contact lenses, do some research on lasik eye surgery to correct your vision. There are restrictions on who can or should get this surgery, so make sure you consult a doctor before making your decision.

Warnings

* Never apply mascara or liner in a moving car or bus, and always use a mirror.

How to Get Beautiful Eyes!

Eyes are indeed one of the most beautiful and attractive parts in a female body.

Make your eyes really stand out with these tips!

Steps

1. Use an eyelash curler to curl your eyelashes. Make sure your eyelashes are dry, and always use before applying mascara.

2. Apply mascara to your lashes. To ensure your lashes are clump free, place the wand at the base of your lashes and wiggle it before using all over your lashes.

3. Use a kohl eyeliner around your eyes. Try to draw as close to your lashline as possible. It's best to stay on the "outside" of the lashes though -- the side further from your eye.

4. Pick a colour scheme for your eyelids. Try girly colours, natural tones or berry hues. Apply a darker colour to your lid up to the crease. Use a lighter colour over your entire lid.

5. If a sexy, smoky look is what you're after, smudge your eyeliner using a cotton tip and apply a darker colour all over your lids.

Tips

* Don't go overboard, and stay away from blue eyeshadow! If you must use blue, make sure it is subtle. You don't want to look like a clown!

* Creme eyeshadows are great for a light girly look, but they may need to be re-applied often.

* If you don't have time to apply make-up, just curling your eyelashes can really open up your eyes and make-up you look beautiful!

* A great way to make your top lashes longer is to use the mascara on the TOP of the lashes and then apply it under the lashes

* Another cute way to make smoky eyes is to use a black eyeliner, and smudge it a little, but don't put too much. Then take a silvery or silver-purple eyeshadow, and put a little over the black. It's smoky, but glamorous!

* Also use eyeshadow that is the opposite of your eye color don't match your outfits. Example: if you have brown eyes wear blue eyeshadow if you have blue eyes use brown eyeshadow.

Warnings

* Always wash your eye make-up off before you hit the sack! You don't want panda eyes, or to end up with an eye infection.

* if you have P.E class and re-touch after it, avoid letting people borrow your eye make up! Sharing is a good thing but not with these kind of items.

* If you do so they could resort into a bad eye infection or worse, the dreaded pink eye!(imagine waking up to your eyelids being stuck together) So steer clear of those people.

* Your eyes are important and treating them the right way is gonna open your eyes to better things! (Really.)
