The Eyes Have It
Remember the dreamy eyes of your first love? Who can
resist a beautiful set of eyes? Your eyes are one of your
most important features. Do you treat them like the
treasures they are? Even if your eyes are not 'to die for',
you can make them truly memorable.
Eye Care. Do you care for them the way you should?
Sunscreen on your lids? Sunglasses? Carefully cleaned and
stored contact lenses? Makeup remover made expressly for
eyes? Adequate sleep? These aren't merely suggestions.
They're requirements for stunning eyes.
Eye Color. Do you take the time to make up your eyes every
day.
Take a minute to add some extra color and your whole face
will light up.
Medium and dark complexions can’t go wrong with universal
earth tones.
Going to work? Apply brown tones on the lower lids,
highlight with a light taupe at the inner corners, sweeping
up and outward to the brow bones.
Going out on the town? Add a complementary bronze or deep
gold to your outer lid, gently swept from the middle of the
eyelash line to the corner of the eyes. Fair faced women
should use lighter colors as their basic palette.
Conservative? Use two colors for day - apply medium-gray or
mushroom all over the lids to the brow bones, and from the
middle of the lash line outward with a coordinating lighter
shade from the same family. At night, add a shimmering gold
dust overcoating.
Eyelashes and Eyebrows
Let’s talk mascara. Brown is becoming ever more popular
because it complements all iris colors. It works on everyone,
as does the standard black. And even though it's available,
avoid blue and green tinted mascara, unless it matches your
ultra-colorful dye job. Waterproof mascara is really not for everyday, unless you're especially weepy. A water-soluble
mascara leaves your lashes in healthier condition, and
healthy is beautiful.
No one has the perfect arch without a little help from
tweezers or a lot of help from a stylist. All eyebrows need
taming, whether it’s tweezing to remove one stray hair or an
all-out waxing at the salon. Tweezing is cheap, which is
great. And you don’t need an appointment. Oh, and if you use tweezers...
Did you know that some estheticians (that’s a highly trained
skincare professional) will create a template for you to use
when tweezing? If you want to deal with your brows on a less
frequent basis, investigate having your eyebrows waxed at a
reputable salon. It hurts, but many women feel the irritation
is worth the gorgeous results.
Eyeglasses. Wear them if you need them?
Of course.
They're not just an accessory of necessity. Carefully
chosen spectacles look great and can draw deserved attention
to your eyes. Just think how smart they make you look. And
smart is always in style!
