White Eyeliner

Want your eyes to pop & look awake?

Line the inner corner of the eye or your lower lashline with an eye pencil in shimmery white, pink or silver. Blend in the line. For extra brightening, use the pencil to highlight the brow line. We tried her tip & it works!

Is it OK to wear blue eyeshadow?

Remember the old days when beauty editors & experts swore off blue eyeshadow (in fact, we had an article on this site that called jewel-toned blue eyeshadow a 'no-no')? Not anymore. Deep jewel colors are in Spring 2006 & blue is the hottest shade of them all. It also looks gorgeous with all eye colors.Even better news!

According to the Ladies Home Journal March, 2006, issue, makeup companies have come up with a new way to compress more pigment than ever into their eye shadows. Now you can pick a shade that looks the same on your eyelids as it does through the plastic cover on the container. In the past, shadows went on lighter or in some cases, muddier. Not anymore. Now you can buy without fear of hating the color. Just remember when applying deeply-hued shadows to blend well & keep the rest of your makeup light.

Here are some basic tips to consider: Blending is key The richest colors should stay closest to the lashline, fading as it reaches your eye's crease, according to Barneys New York makeup artist Carlos Geraci in the April 2006 'O' magazine. Pick colors that flatter your eyes & skin color Blue shadows make blue eyes pop, while lilac & purples are gorgeous on brown eyes & black-skinned & olive-skinned women. If you have pink skin (as opposed to a yellow base), avoid pinky-purples. Use 2 shadows, a light & a dark Pick a soft color for the entire eye area up to the browbone & then use the darker color only up to your eye's crease. Keep the rest of your makeup light Nude lips with gloss suits these strong eyes perfectly.

Avoid colors on lips, they'll not only compete with your strong eyes, but the colors could clash.

How to apply: Use the tips of your fingers to apply little dots on the apples of your cheeks up into your hairline. Blend in with fingers. Or, for a more natural look, sweep color across cheeks with a nylon-bristled brush. The best thing about this cream blush is it doubles as lipstick.
