Al eye make-up must be thoroughly removed if leftover traces are not to dry out and damage the delicate tissue that surrounds the eyes. Mascara in particular is very easy to miss; after your regular eye make-up cleansing procedure, try removing final traces of mascara with a cotton-tipped stick dipped in cleanser.
Cleansing Procedure
· Begin by applying eye make-up remover directly to a cotton wool pad.
· With your eye closed, draw the pad over the upper lid, starting from the inside corner of the eye.
Again with your eye closed, use the other side of the pad for the lower lid.
Continue with a clean pad until no more make-up can be removed.
· Then repeat this procedure for the eye, always using a different pad.
Eyebrows
The eyebrows are an important part of your overall face shape and expression, and should not be neglected when you are thinking of eye make-up. If your eyebrows are in good shape they will balance the features and provide a frame for your eyes. If the eyebrows are very thin and hard they will look unnatural: if they are very thick and shaggy they will tend to look unfeminine and to overshadow your eyes.
Shaping of Your Eyebrows
The natural shape of your eyebrows and the place on the brow where they grow will probably be a natural balance to your face shape. This means that it is usually best not to alter their shape too drastically. A good way of establishing where your eyebrows should begin and end the how high they should arch is to use the simple measuring technique which follows:
· If you have a small brow and fine features, your eyebrows should be delicate too.
· If your features are heavy, then your eyebrows may need strengthening and defining more clearly if they are to play their full part.
How to Measure Your Eyebrows
· Sit in front of a mirror and take a pencil in one hand.
· Hold the pencil so that it makes a line from the side of your nostril to the inner corner of your eye and upward; where the pencil touches the eyebrow is where your eyebrow should start.
Hold the pencil at an angle from the side of the nostril, past the outer corner of the corner of your eye and outward; this is where your eyebrow should end.
If you look straight ahead, the highest point of your eyebrow should be directly above the iris of your eye.
