TIP OF THE DAY
To stop shadow clumping in eye corners, apply it to the middle of the lid then blend well.

Eyeshadow trick To stop shadow clumping in eye corners, apply it to the middle of the lid then blend well.
Eyeliner In order to create a natural, smudgy eyeliner, line your eyes heavily with black eyeliner before you go to bed. In the morning wash your face as normal-a perfectly smudged line will remain.
DIY eyebrows Want to shape your eyebrows yourself? Try this technique: Take a make-up brush or pen and hold it diagonally from the end of your nose (covering the nostril) and line it up with your iris. The end of the brush should touch the centre of your mouth. This is where your arch should start.
Eyebrows Once you’ve had a professional shape, it will be easier to pluck stray hairs as they grow back. Check your brows closely every few days so it won’t be such a scary task. Never shape from the top of the brow- just tidy above.
Mascara rules - Always remove mascara before bed to prevent lashes breaking. - Black is best for brunettes, dark brown is good for blondes. - Addicted to heated eyelash curling wands? Use after applying mascara. But if you use a normal eyelash curler, apply mascara before curling lashes - If you’re looking for extra length, wiggle the brush at the base of your lashes then pull it up and out to the tips. - Never pump the mascara brush in and out of the tube; air in the tube will dry out your mascara.
Plucking epic Never pluck the top line of your eyebrows as it can change their fundamental shape. All plucking should be done from below the brow and at either end.
Perfect Eyes When applying eye makeup be sure to follow the following steps: - Determine your objective (what colour, shape and intensity do you wish to achieve) - Prepare the brows (shape and colour) - Apply eye liner. Application is made easier by holding the outer corner fo the eye with the 3rd finger, without pulling creating a smooth surface. - Apply eye shadow. Begin with a base shade, then contour along the crease of the eye with darker shades to create more dimension to your eyes. - Apply mascara - apply only one coat for the lower eye lashes and at least one for the upper lashes.
Eyelash curlers To get the most out of your eyelash curler, start from the roots of your lashes, so the curl starts from the very base. Work the curler up the lengths of your lashes at three or four intervals. To boost the curl, blast your eyelash curler with the hairdryer before use.
