Ace Make up artist Cory Walia cues Rakhee Kaushik into the right makeup tricks to gorgeous eyes…

EYES WISE

Almond-Shaped Eyes:
Use a black eyeliner on the upper eyelid and a kajal pencil to line the inside of the lower eyelid. This gives a beautiful definition to the eyes…

Deep-Set & Small Eyes:
Always use a thin eyeliner on small or deep set eyes, under the lower lashes. Shimmery textures and light colour eyeshadows bring out deep set eyes. A thin eyeliner under the lower lashes is a good way to make small eyes look bigger. A white pencil subtly used inside the lower lid opens up the eyes. Dark colours and matte textures make eyes look bigger.

TIPS:

• Deep-set eyes can be underplayed by using a bit of a dark shade in the inner corner of the eye.
• For small eyes with thick lashes, apply loads of mascara. You can even glam up in the evening by using stick-on lash extensions.
• Liquid eyeliner gives a good finish but requires a steady hand.

SHAPELY EYEBROWS:
Shape Ace:
Arched eyebrows give attitude and sophistication to a face. The arch can be redefined with an eyebrow filler in brown or brownish black.

Trim Edge:
Sparse eyebrows can be filled with the same type of eyebrow filler in brown or brownish black.

Thick Trick:
Dense eyebrows can be made to look shapelier with the help of tweezing and threading. Or use a lighter shade of hair colour to lift the colour of thick eyebrows.

TIPS:

• Whether the eyebrows are thin, thick or full, they should always be impeccably shaped and stray-hair free
• If blessed with shapely eyebrows, then tend to them by constantly brushing with a bit of transparent mascara or gel.

Enhance those Peepers!
