Thread: Eye make-up!

Youtube, as others said. there are so many different ideas on there and some are really good!

for me, i always apply a cream eyeshadow base, that way the other eyeshadow sticks, and it stays of for heaps longer. you don't have to put on other eyeshadow over the top if you want it simple.

apply lighter colours, to the inner corner of your eye, and darker colours to the edge.

make eye liner darker on the outer corners of your eye, and don't go all the way across unless you want it to look more dramatic.

and when applying mascara, go over with a clean mascara brush, this makes it not clumpy and more natural. and instead of applying mascara to your bottom lashes, just brush over them with the clean brush you used to 'de-clump' your top lashes

If you want to make your eyes pop a bit, put a white (flat white) in the innermost corner and blend it just a little bit. The white makes your eyes look open and refreshed. I like to match it with black along the inner and outer rims - blended on the outer. Some people don't like the look of having both inner and outer done but I quite like the way it looks on me. If it is feeling a little harsh, then a nude browny color on the inside might work.

If you are going to extra drama, then use colors! My favorites to use are aqua and a royal purple.

Youtube is definitely a great place to get ideas and tutorials!

For mascara, I only do the top lashes. What I do is first put a little bit of petroleum jelly on my lashes, then put the mascara - it is easier to smooth out and I think it looks more natural. When I line my inner rim I run the edge of my eyeliner across my lower lashes so they get just a little bit of extra oomph.

For a natural look ... moisturizer, pinch your cheeks, and add chapstick! Yeehaw!

wear sunglasses when you’re out in the bright sun.

Take Breaks: For those who work for a long time or wear
glasses it’s a good idea to take breaks time to time at
work. Eyes trend to dry out when doing prolong near vision
work.

Look Away: While working for long hours, looking at the
distant objects and then getting back to your work helps
eyes to focus better.

Sleep Early: Sleeping early at night helps. Our eyes are more
susceptible to myopia development at night. So it’s a good idea
to go to the bed early.

Very helpful tips! Ever since I go to bed early the dark circles around it are gone

Wow..really worthy techniques..thanks for sharing this...Now I can't wait to go for party with this...

You can place thin slices of cucumber on your eyes everyday for 5-10 min. This really soothes my eyes.
I prefer a thin line on top and bottom with a pencil eyeliner projecting the shape of your eye ( you can smudge it a little of course if you like that), and mascara.
