  Eyes Make-up
 
    Eye opening tips:
Darker shadow shades of matte help "retreat" eyes, while lighter hues, or frosts, "advance" them. If you want big, beautiful peepers, rely on pale shades
Apply shadow after liner for a softer, dreamier effect; apply liner last for more drama
Use an eyelash curler to give lift to lashes. Then "set" the look with a coat of mascara
For the ultimate in lash looks (and eye-enhancing effects) rely on a thickening mascara
Never line the inside rim of your lower lashes; this will make eyes look even smaller


How to create a Day Look
: Smooth a medium eye shadow in your eye lid from lash line up to eye crease. Blend deeper shade into crease and slightly above it.

How to create an Evening Look: Line eyes close to lash line with a blend pencil in a dark, dramatic shade. Sweep a light eyeshadow from base of lashes to brow bone. Apply a deeper shade in eye creases and blend.

Tips for all types:
Maximize your natural beauty with techniques tailored for different facial designs.

For Deep-Set Eyes

Rely on pale, shimmery shades to enhance your eyes.
Sweep a light eye shadow shade across lid from inner corner to a small bit beyond the outer corner. Place a touch of a deeper shade in the eye crease. Blend.

For Wide-Set Eyes
Make them appear closer by applying a deeper eye shadow shade from inner corner to mid-lid.
Apply a lighter shade from mid-lid to outer corner. Blend in the middle of lid where shades meet.

For Close-Set Eyes
Make them appear wider by applying a dot of concealer to the innermost corner of both eyes.
Create a very thin pencil line near lash edge of top lid that thickens toward the outer corner.
Create a very thin eye shadow in a pale shade from inner corner to mid-lid; apply a just-slightly deeper shade from mid-lid to outer corner; blend in the middle.

For Glasses-Wearers
If your frames are boldly colored, you don't need to add more color with shadow. Play up lashes instead.
If you wear brown mascara, try black. And to make them their full, feathery best apply thick mascara at the roots, gently wiggling wand into lashes, then roll up.
For tortoise shell or horn-rimmed frame-wearers, take time to shape and define eyebrows.
You want brows to frame your face not frames.

For Asian Eyes
Sweep a light-colored eye shadow over entire eyelid.
Use a pencil to create a thick, smoky line along top lashes (thick enough to be seen when your eye is open) and a thinner one under bottom lashes.
To widen eye area, fill in brows using a brown-toned eye shadow.
Use two to three coats of thick mascara.
