TIP OF THE DAY
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.

Daytime shadows Cream shadows give a shiny, glossy look and the colour doesn't last long and will need lots of re-touching. Cream powder shadows give a more natural look and are more suitable for daytime use.
Stay sharp Always check that your eye pencil is sharp before usage. This ensures that the colour only goes on where it should.
Keep a fine line Apply eyeliner in a soft fine line, as close to your lash as possible.
Shape Up Eye make-up should be applied according to the shape of your eye. Work out what shape your eyes are so you can enhance them accordingly.
Runaway Mascara To tackle running mascara try applying it to your upper lash only or use a waterproof mascara on both lashes. Above all, don't rub your eyes, it can damage delicate eye tissue and guarantees racoon eyes.
Alternative gel Eyebrow gel is a great alternative to a heavy pencil for day make-up. Use light feathery strokes to brush and set the brow in place.
Wet or dry? Wet/dry shadow can be applied with a wet or dry eyeshadow brush. Applied dry, the effect is sheer; applied wet, it's more intense - and longer-lasting
Shimmery light Eyeshadow sticks and pencils give lids a light, shimmery look rather than dense colour. They're designed to be drawn on, but be careful that you don't "drag" the delicate skin on the eyelid when applying.
