Change Your Eyes, Change Your Weekend

Change Your Eyes, Change Your WeekendIf it’s true that you can see the soul through a person’s eyes, then you’ve got a lot to bare when you try these three eye popping makeup styles. Pick your mood and what you want to say without saying a word – I’m seductive innocence, I’m a wild child, or I dare you to ask me to dance…it will be worth it. Whatever your message is, here’s how to look the part.

 

First is the look that may say I’m innocent, but it screams you’ve never met anyone like me. These are eyes that speak straight from natural beauty amplified by lashes that won’t quit. This look isn’t about color. It’s about depth and dimension. To get it, sweep a natural eye shadow in a shade darker than your skin along your lids and in the crease. That’s the most color your face will see tonight. Lips and cheeks are subtle, luminous and fresh – pale pinks that aren’t flesh colored. Your entire look is based on your lashes. Begin with a coat of mascara to add volume and color to your natural lash line. Next dab a small amount of lash glue on the back of your hand, near your thumb and allow it to get slightly tacky. You’re not applying a line of fake lashes. You’re adding about ten clusters of fake lashes that will spread your top lashes into a dazzling array of come hither lashes. Using tweezers dip the first cluster in to the glue and stick it to the base of your natural lashes, not your skin. Begin in the center and work your way out and then back in toward your nose. Va-voom!

 

For the wild child in you that’s ready to play, take cat eyes to the next level of beautiful. Forget black. You’re not going to a rave. Instead try a gel liner in violet, indigo or rose-red. Begin your liner in a point at the extreme inner corner of your eye. As you near the beginning of your natural lash line, begin to widen the stroke. The key is to color the entire portion of your lid that is visible when your eyes are open. Continue to widen the line into the crease all the way across your eye. Stop just above the outer corner of your eye. To create the cat eye peak, sweep the liner out and slightly up in a curve where you stopped at the outer corner. Bring it back into your eye a little less than half way back up the natural curve of your eye. Fill in the peak with liner. Do the other eye at the point of the peak and the highest part of the top curve to create even eyes. Practice before you want to go out. This one takes a little work to perfect. Finish with mascara – light on the bottom.

 

If you’ve had one of those weeks and you’d rather not be bothered by every loser who wants to dance, but wouldn’t be opposed Mr. Right, the “I dare you” look is for you. This is not for the faint of heart. It takes attitude. Begin by darkening your brows. They’ll need to balance the color of your eyes. Next choose bold gold`s in a dark and light shade. Apply the lighter shade in the farthest inside corner, along your bottom lashes and at the highest point on your lids. Sweep dark gold from lid to brow (avoiding the places with light shade. Use a damp brush to apply to the crease. Finish with mascara.
