Eyes, Brows & Lashes

Lots of tips for the eyes, brows and lashes, take your pick I’m sure there’s one tip for you here…… enjoy!

• To avoid clumping mascara wait a few minutes before applying a second coat to lashes
• Plucking brows is less painful after you have had a bath/shower, as the steam helps the hair follicle to be loosened
• Pluck brows in the direction of your hair growth, it will be less painful and will ensure the hair comes out from the route
• Pluck hairs in between brows, but never from above (you do not want  to lower the eye area)
• Pluck brows individually so you can be more precise when shaping
• Smaller eyes are better complimented by using lighter brighter colours
• Pencil brows from the inside of the brow to the outer area of the brows towards temples
• Add a few fake lashes from mid to end of lashes to make them appear thicker and fuller
• Keep brows groomed as this really does frame your facial features
• Use eye make-up remover to remove make up on the eye area as they are specifically formulated to be gentler on the delicate skin
• Use a eyelash curler to make lashes appear wider and longer
• Use eye cream to minimise crows feet and keep eyes looking young and hydrated
• Pat on eyeshadow to get a heavier quicker application of colour on
• Applying a touch of concealer under eyes can disguise dark circles and give the appearance of brighter more awake eyes
• Use a liquid liner to create cats eyes (a thin black line above the top lid, that slightly tailors out) to give a more glamorous look
• Sharpen brow/eye pencils each time you use them to keep them clean and free from bacteria
• Use a dampened cotton bud to remove any mistakes and smudges
• Dust away any fallen eyeshadow with your foundation brush (with little to no make-up on) this is still good to do anyway as it gives a gentle blend from the eyeshadow into your foundation
• Use a little gel to tame brows and keep them in place
• When applying mascara wiggle at the root and pull outwards slightly at an angle
