Eye Makeup Tips

Eye shadow That Stays Beauty Tip Melting eye shadow is a problem for many women, but there is a way to make it "stick" a little longer. If you use a damp eye shadow brush and apply a layer of face powder to your lids and allow to set, the shadow will stay in place for the day.
Takes an extra second or so but the effort is well worth it.

Remedies For Puffy Eyes * Take a metal spoon and run it under cold water. Place the metal on the puffy area for at least 60 seconds. * Apply hemorrhoid cream (look for brands that contain ingredients of yeast and shark's liver oil) to the puffy area. Insiders have known for years that in just the way it gets the swelling out of that other area, it works the same way for the face. * Thin cucumber slices used as compresses over closed eyes will relieve sore, puffy eyes. * A black tea bag soaked in cold water on each eye for ten minutes will reduce swelling caused by fluid retention. Gently press from inner to outer corners to hasten drainage. * Avoid salty foods, which cause the under eye area (and the rest of your body) to hold fluid. * Elevate your head when you sleep, to keep fluid from settling around your eyes.

 Sexy EyesProblem:
My eyes are very small. Are there any makeup tips to make them stand out more? Solution: Eyeliner is the magic wand for creating the illusion of bigger, more expressive eyes. Line the entire top lash line and extend the line slightly at the corners. You can also line the bottom of your eyes, but concentrate color only on the outer third and extend it slightly past the edge. (We're not talking Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra here.) A soft, smoky look will open your eyes more than a thin, hard line. Stick to dark, neutral colors with a hint of black for lining, as bright shades will only make them seem smaller. Lashes can also be a great eye-opener. Curl them three times before applying mascara -- at the base, halfway up and at the tip -- to create a gentle, rounded curl. Fan out your lashes while applying mascara. Brush the inner third in toward your nose, the middle third straight out and the outer third toward your temples. Contrary to popular belief, dark, dramatic eye shadow will not make your eyes stand out. In fact, it'll do just the opposite. If you have small eyes, keep it simple by using only light-colored shadows, and never wear more than two shades at once. Brush a subtle base color from lash to brow, and then use a slightly darker shade to create subtle definition in the crease.
