Eye Makeup

To keep eyebrows in place and looking well groomed use transparent mascara, hair gel or a light hairspray sprayed onto an eyebrow brush and brushed through the brows

To make plucking eyebrows more comfortable apply warm cotton pads first to relax the hair follicle. Alternatively pluck after you have had a hot bath or shower and the hairs will be removed more easily

Only pluck the hairs from beneath the eyebrow to keep the natural shape

To make eyes sparkle line the insides of the eye with a white liner

Use a dark shadow as eyeliner if liquid liner or pencil appears too harsh

Intensify the colour of eye shadow by dampening your brush first  

Use waterproof mascara to avoid smudging

If mascara is clumpy on the eyelashes brush through immediately after application with a clean eyelash brush or eyelash comb

To add more mascara to your brush don't pump it up and down in the tube as this allows more air into the tube and the mascara dries out more quickly

If the mascara in the wand thickens up, warm the end of the mascara tube in hot water to change the consistency

Have an eyelash tint if you don't like wearing mascara, are going swimming or work prevents it

Use eyelash curlers on short eyelashes before applying mascara to make them appear longer

Wash brushes regularly to prevent spots or infection. Use shampoo and rinse well to remove all soap, dry bristles gently on a towel

Don't use eye makeup if you have an eye infection
