Perfect
Eyebrows
Six Steps To Perfect Eyebrows
1. Brush brows upward. Carefully
trim any excess hair above the top of your natural arch. Be careful not to take
off too much at the ends or you'll have brow "bald" spots.
2. Look closely at the shape.
Your brow should begin at your tear duct, peak at the outer edge of your iris
and end at the outer corner of your eye. "Many women make the mistake of
taking off too much at the outer corners." "This slants the brows
upward and makes the person look perpetually angry."
3. Prep your skin: Soak a cotton ball in astringent and
wipe the brow area.
4. Hold a pencil in line with the
outer side of your iris and note where the peak of your arch naturally occurs.
From the arch to the outer corner of the eye, your brow should fall in a
straight or slightly curved line, depending on the look you're trying to
achieve.
5. Hold the tweezers at a 45 degree angle and pluck
the stray hairs below the brow line. "Pull in the direction of the hair
growth, or you may end up breaking the hair mid-shaft," says Engle. Follow
your natural brow shape, not the trends. "It's very difficult to let your
brows grow back into their natural shape after you've plucked them to death
trying to achieve a particular look," she says.
6. Fill in sparse areas with a
freshly sharpened brow pencil - be a bombshell; use light, quick strokes to
draw in hair. Brow powder will give thin brows overall definition, and is great
for a more natural look. Using the brow brush, sweep powder up and outward over
brows. If you're a brow novice, a tinted brow gel is a foolproof way to keep
brows in place. Lightly coat brows using upward and outward strokes. Wipe off
any excess and allow it to set.

Eye Makeup Tips and Tricks
No matter
if blue, brown, hazel or green, eyes have been referred to as �windows
to the soul,� giving those who exchange glances the power to better grasp one�s
personality and emotions. Eyes reveal joy and elation as much as they uncover
sadness, melancholy and distress. Sometimes pensive, mischievous or mysterious,
eyes can let us in on little secrets we might otherwise miss in dealings with
people we know and love.
Eyes can
exercise a special power of seduction by casting an enchanting gaze in another�s
direction. A wink can signal a special understanding or remind another of an
inside joke or amusing memory. Eyes also key into flirtation a great deal.
Cartoons and old movies always show the femme fatales batting their long, dark
eyelashes in an attempt to attract the men.
No matter
what your motives, playing up the looks of your eyes will bring a natural
definition to your facial features while accentuating perhaps the most
distinguishing characteristic on your visage. The main makeup components you
may want to consider when dressing up your pretty peepers Retro Eyes are mascara - Lashes Unlimited, eye shadow and possibly
eyeliner, though sometimes pressed powder or a light foundation will work
wonders for circles under the eyes.
Eye
Shadow Artistic Palettes
Depending
on the hues you wish to use, you can get a little colorful and creative with
the wide selection of products for eyelids on the market. No longer do you have
to sift through dozens of shades of eye shadow powder looking for the perfect
blend� now you can accessorize your eyes with a beautiful array of
powders - see Evangeline Lilly, creams and glittery
dustings. Traditional eye shadow powders are very easy to use with small applicator
brushes and foam pads. For a dimensional look, blend two colors of powder or
one color of powder atop a cream shadow base.
With
cream-based eye shadows, less really is more. The cream shadows generally come
in small squeeze tubes that really enhance the look of your eyes with a light
application across the lid, reaching up to your brows if you wish.
Not sure
about colors? Go with something neutral, like Uma Thruman, the first couple of times until
you get the hang of it. Apply a light dusting of bronze, tan - seeBronze Ambition or other shimmery
transparent color for a gentle hint of color.
Mascara
When
selecting mascara, many factors come into play, with each brand�s newest
addition to the line claiming bigger and better benefits. From thickening to
lengthening to blackest black, waterproof and curling, each mascara product has
a special offering of its own. Considering your own lashes, choose one that
best suits your needs.
If you
wish to avoid that scary-looking metal eyelash curler that appears more like an
ancient torture devise, opt for a product that contains a curling formula. Choose
the color you want to wear - black, brown or even navy blue. With so many
options available, you can add a couple types of mascara to your collection and
change your look as often as you like!
Generally,
applying two coats of mascara will give enough definition to lashes to really
make a difference. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second in an
effort to prevent clumping. If some of the mascara accidentally brushes onto
your eyelids or underneath, simply use a q-tip to remove it. This may necessitate
touching up your eye shadow a bit.
Eyeliner
To really
define your eyes, apply a thin line of eyeliner in black or brown, khaki, plum
or navy. To properly apply the eyeliner pencil or liquid liner, gently pull the
corner of your eye outward, forming a straight line along your lashes. Starting
at the inside corner and working toward the outside, delicately trace a line
with the pencil angled toward your lashes.
Be
careful how much eyeliner you apply, as a little really does go a long way. For
a dramatic look, thicker and darker is very acceptable. For a subtle
definition, stick with a lighter application.

best results, invite some girlfriends over and make a night of it!
