Focus on the eyes - eyeliners and eyebrows |

  Natural effect: A thin line along the top lash line brings out your eyes and gives them a natural definition.
Widen out: A thin line that thickens toward outer corners can help close-set eyes look wider apart.
Expert length: Don't extend liner line past your outer eye corner by more than a hint.
Line change: Dark, thick lines under the eye weigh down your eyes. Try a lighter, softer colour. If you use brown on top, try taupe at the bottom. Apply a finer line and smudge it, so it looks like a shadow cast by thick lashes.
 Great change: If you've always used black eyeliner, play with a brown or gray shade, for a slightly softer effect.
Drama tips: A slightly thicker line that is smudged gives a more dramatic look. But don't go too heavy or let top and bottom lines meet at outer corner. This makes eyes look smaller.
Arch expertise: To get the right arch look straight in a mirror. Hold a pencil vertically against one nostril. Angle it outer side of pupil. The spot where the pencil hits brow is where it should arch. Repeat on other side.
 Great endings: To see where the brows should end look straight in a mirror. Hold a pencil vertically against one nostril. Angle it so it aligns with outer corner of the eye. Where the pencil hits the brow is where the brow should end.
Right start: To see where the brows should start hold the pencil vertically against one nostril. Where the pencil meets your brow is a good starting point. Tweeze in middle between there and the other brow. Repeat on other side.
Shape up: Now create your most flattering shape by brushing brow down. Observe you brow's natural line. Where needed - fill in with soft strokes of a brow pencil. Brush brows back into place and blend with brow pencil.
