Your eyes are the most striking feature of your face, so it’s important that you emphasize them as much as possible. Mascara is one of the most versatile make-up tools you can use; on their own they look great, and they give your eyes more oomph when worn with eyeshadow. When applying mascara, hold your eyelid taut by putting a finger on the middle of your lid and pulling it up. For short eyelashes, use lengthening mascara; if you have thin eyelashes, use volumizing mascara. Those with sensitive eyes and contact lenses should wear gentle mascara. Finally, waterproof mascara is best for rainy seasons.

There are many different ways to remove stray eyebrow hair. Some women use wax, but this is tricky because it’s difficult to achieve an accurate shape. The most common method is using tweezers. If you want to get rid of your stray eyebrow hairs and achieve the perfect eyebrow, follow these tips.
Start from the inner corner of your eye, right above the tear duct and end at the outside corner above the eyelashes. Ideally, eyebrows should have an arch but naturally, the arch is rarely where it should be. The arch should be over the iris, which is the colored part of your eye. It should also be gentle to soften your features, so do the plucking very slowly, one hair at a time. If you pluck it too hastily you might end up with a “surprised” look that will last for weeks until the hair grows back.

Caffeine. For some situations, drinking a moderate amount of caffiene seems to have no effect until you do it for several days. If you can’t sleep and are not particularly anxious, think of how much caffienated drinks you’ve been having, including cola, tea and coffee. Drinking less caffiene should fix the problem.
Sugar. Having a midnight snack that’s heavy in sugar will cause you to toss and turn because your blood sugar levels will be at an all-time high. If you can’t sleep without a snack, replace your sweets with a sugar-free pastry. But don’t eat a meal as this will also raise your blood sugar.
Too much exercise. According to some research, people who exercise late at night have difficulty sleeping. Try to schedule your workouts in the morning, late afternoon, or early evening.

Mascara is a must for eyes which gives more emphasis around the eyes. Curl your lashes before you apply them to give it more drama and life. If you tend to smudge the lower lids, stay away from them and focus on the upper lashes to minimize time spent on trying to perfect your eyes. Choose colors that are opposite the color of your eyes for contrasting colors work better. To get a smoky effect around your eyes apply a black line on the inside using a black pencil. If you use cream shadows on your eyes, use only on the lid and not on the creases so they don’t emphasize the creases and create a greasy mess.
