Eyeliner and Mascara:

You'll have to be a pro to try out a kohl line. The finer the eyeliner, the easier it will be to make that perfect line. If your have round lower eyelids, don't ever draw a dark line out from the lower lid because it will make them look more round and droopy. Make a line just where the eyelashes meet the lower eyelid using a very fine liner. This will define the eye without the harshness of a dark liner and it won't smear as much. You can highlight the eyes with a dark brown line on the upper eyelids. Be careful not to apply shades that are too dark. If you don't have enough practice, it's not a bad idea to place a paper tissue underneath your eyes. This way you won't mess up the rest of your makeup if some eye shadow comes loose. Before applying mascara, define your eyelashes with a curler. Apply mascara on both sides of eyelashes, under and over. If you think you need more, apply a second layer to make them stand up, start at the roots and move outwards to the ends to make them as long as you can.

How To Avoid Rings Under Your Eyes:

Apply a concealer one shade lighter than your skin to hide fatigue circles and project a "rested" look. While you're at it, cover up any capillaries and pimples that may give your skin an unhealthy appearance. Some women are more prone to getting circles under their eyes than others. This may be caused by a lack of sleep, bad circulation or even constipation. These problems make your blood take on a bluish tone. Also, pigments and toxins tend to accumulate in the delicate skin around the eyes.

Translucent Make-up Powder:

Translucent make-up powder will give you a matte touch. These loose makeup powders neutralize shiny spots, especially in the tip of the nose, forehead, and chin. Blend well and thoroughly to avoid a cardboard-like look. It's better not to apply too much powder under the eyes because it may accentuate fine lines. This make-up powder penetrates deeper with the puff than with a brush. Your skin will not have any shiny spots for a longer time, but you may also saturate your makeup.

Eyebrows:

If the eyes are the mirrors of the soul, the eyebrows are their frames. Shape them up by plucking underneath them with tweezers, and following their natural pattern. Rub an ice cube on your eyelid before plucking; it will make it less painful. Accentuate them with a pencil and shade of the same color for a more intense look; follow the direction in which the hair grows. Very dark eyebrows should be lightened up one shade lighter from their natural color to avoid the "tough" look. Blonde eyebrows are hard to notice, so they have to be accentuated a little for a more intense look. The shade you use should be as close as possible to the natural color of your eyebrows.

Eye Shadow:

Look for a combination that best complements the tone of your skin and the color of your eyes, instead of going for trendy colors. Brunettes are best with brown, copper and burgundy eye shadow, although the look for these holidays is all about gloss and luminosity. Silvery-white eye shadow brings on a cosmic-girl flare very fitting for the end of the millennium, and to accentuate it, a dark pearl gray to add some depth. Make sure the eye shadow you choose complements the color of your hair and skin, not the color of your eyes. You may also want to try a brownish violet to give the impression of longer eyes. For a sweeter look, use dark pink eye shadow. This is a natural color that makes for lovey-dovey eyes, and looks very good on blondes. Also, with a darker shade of pinkish brown of the same color line you can bring out the eyes to create more depth. Start from the corner of the eye and move outwards to make your eyes look longer. Next, follow the arch of the eye inwards, blending until it is even. Another way of enhancing your "night-out" look is using shiny white eye shadow. But not if you have droopy or puffy eyes, because it will make them more noticeable.
