Girls, glam up your eyes and go celebrate! 
It’s all about making a statement this season. Bold,
graphic eyes are all the rage. If subtle is more
your scene, sexy eyes are always chic.
Intense
To create a dramatic, smoky eye, use a velvety, matte black eyeshadow. To begin, apply it to the upper lash line and work
it up into the crease, repeatedly patting on more product. Patting on the shadow, as opposed to blending, is necessary to
slowly build up the required intensity and depth of color. Follow the natural shape of the eye and work right along the socket
line from the outer edge inwards. Decide whether you want the shape more rounded or square at the outer corner and adjust
the edges accordingly. Blend the shadow along the lower lash line to the inner corner of the eye, and add a black kohl pencil
or matte black shadow to the inner rim if you wish. Further personalize your look by adding black glitter, or a highlight shadow
in dark metallic gray, to the center of the upper lid and/or inner corner of the eye. Finish with a lick of black mascara, top and
bottom, to open up the eyes, and complete the look with a nude lip and barely-there cheek.
Seductive
For a sultry eye, smear a cream-textured shadow over the upper eyelid and blend it back and forth with your fingertip.
The color should be more intense toward the outer edge of the socket and slightly winged. To create a sexy smolder
underneath the eye, use your fingertip to brush the product across your lower lashes. Then, apply a soft, waxy pencil to the
top and bottom lash lines to give definition, and blend. Curl your upper lashes and load them with mascara, paying particular
attention to the outer corners of the eye. For a distinctively sexy look, be slapdash and add a few individual falsies just for fun.
Defined
Eyeliner is center stage in this look, so it is all about precision. Cast aside your waxy, smudgy pencils, and bring out a liquid
eyeliner with a fine, inbuilt brush or tip, and/or a matte black shadow and an angled eyeliner brush. Mastering the application
of eyeliner requires a steady hand and plenty of practice, so have the makeup remover and a Q-tip (cotton bud) ready. If you
want to use both products, stipple the powder on first using the angled brush, and pat it along the top lash line ensuring
good penetration into the roots of the lashes. For extra definition and staying power, go over the powder line with liquid liner.
To create a feline effect, apply matte shadow, in pale yellow, beige or white, to the bottom inner cor ner of the eye. Then,
using a liquid liner or powder eyeshadow and brush, draw along the lower lash line, from the outer cor ner of the eye inward.
Just prior to reaching the inner corner, drop the line below the lashes and extend a fine, pointed wing beyond the innermost
corner of the eye, which fades into nothing.
Team heavily lined eyes with bold lips to create a sense of balance. Dark eyeliner is imperative for those with bulging eyelids,
as the depth of the color makes them appear less protruding. It also works well on almond-shaped eyes.
