Looking for makeup tips for brown eyes?.. look no further. A great thing about brown eyes is that they look good with pretty much all eye shadow colours., from light to dark. Obviously depending on what shade of brown your eyes are some colours will look even better than others! If you have quite dark deep brown eyes ideally you want to go for eye makeup colors in the medium to dark range of colous. Medium brown eyes look good with just about any colour, green is an amazing colour on brown eyes, while light brown eyes look good with colours such as light beige and gold that bring out the golden flecks. Keep in mind that lighter shades bring out and maximize the size of your eyes, while darker colors minimize and contour. Another one of the more important eye makeup tips for brown eyes is to combine dark eyeliner with lighter eye shadow in order to emphasise your eyes. To make your eyes stand out try to keep all other make up to a minimum. Such as lips and cheeks, keep neutral, and

So you've tried all the best mascara's they have promised you the world, but have they delivered? If you've given up and have had every new one out there, try these tips to help... 1. Soy Protein - helps build volume and strengthen lashes (Wet n Wild Mega Protein Mascara), (ELF Studio Mascara Primer), (Dior Show Maximiser Serum) 2. Panthenol, Pantethine, and Pro Vitamin B-5 - These conditioners aim to make lashes stronger and longer (Marks & Spencer Perfection Precision Mascara), (MAC mascara X), (NYX Propel My Eyes Mascara) 3.

We change our hair and make-up every day, but our face shape really doesn't change and its a defining feature. Knowing your face shape can help choosing a perfect hairstyle and use make up tips to make the most of your best features! Here's how; 1. Tie your hair up into a ponytail and scrape back your fringe or layers with an head band. 2. Look in the mirror and outline your face on the mirror with a lip pencil or eyeliner pencil (both will wipe off with cleanser/washing your face). 3. Compare the outline on the mirror with the illustrations below then choose the one that most resembles your face shape. Heart-Shaped Face You have a wider forehead and a jawline that tapers to a narrow, almost pointy chin Oval Face Your face is symmetrical and is considered to be the perfect shape. Lucky you! Long Face Your face appears to be longer than it is wide, and tends to have a prominent chin Square Face Your face is strong and broad, with a wide, angular jaw and squ

A future employer wants to interview someone who looks professional and well turned out. Many roles can involve dealing with people and the public face to face. Your make up should be a little less when going to work, especially depending on your job role, for example nurses and doctors, or teachers may have more of a natural look. When they say brides should look like their most beautiful version on their big day, people going to work should look as professional as possible. You want to look polished and well turned out. Unless of course your becoming a show girl or something, in which case you can go all out! Keeping tones neutral with no shimmer and keeping bronzer to a minimum. With so many great neutral colours out their this doesn't mean boring. A nice dewy and radiant look would be a good idea. Use concealer to cover up any under eye circles or blemishes. Keep lips nude as well with a slight gloss. Some products to use for this look are the Urban Decay Naked Palette, Col
