Here are some ways of emphasizing your good points and of playing down various slight defects:

Prominent Eyes – it can be made less obvious by using dark shadow over the whole eye lid and lighter toner under the brow.

Deep-set Eyes  – it can be brought forward by using pale shadow over the eye lid and darker shadow on the brow bone.

Droopy Eyes  – it can be given a lift by applying darker shadow in the eye socket line, stopping it before the droopy corner. Brush your eyebrows upward, and define their shape well with a pencil.

Sole-shaped Eyes  – it can be emphasized with deep-toned shadow taken to the outermost part of the lid and extended slightly beyond the corner of the eye. Then apply a light-toned shadow to the inner corner of the eye and extend it to the brow bone.

Close-set Eyes  – throw the emphasis to the outer corners by applying a dark-toned shadow to the outer half and extending it slightly beyond the corner of the eye. Then applied a light-toned shadow to the inner half of the eye. Echo the darker tone under the lower lashes along the lash line from the middle of the eye to the outer corner.

Wide-set Eyes  – accentuate the inner corner. Starting close to your nose, use a darker shadow to cover the inner half of the eye and the brow bone. Shade the outer half of the eye in a lighter tone, and do not extend make-up past the corner of the eye.

Eyelashes

Emphasizing the eyelashes accentuates the eyes in general and adds an attractive finishing touch to your eye make-up.

Mascara

Waterproof and non-waterproof mascaras are available. Non- waterproof ones are best

For regular use as they are easier to remove. Waterproof mascaras are useful for swimmers but must always be removed very carefully to avoid damaging the delicate skin around the eyes. The most usual colors for mascara are black, dark brown, and charcoal, although blue and green are also available.
