Eyeshadow

Question:
My eyes are puffy and small. Besides brown, what other colours would suit my eyes and how do I apply them?
Yan Jackson, via e-mail.

Answer:
You can use any colour you want — the trick is in the application. To get a sparkling, wide-eyed look start by defining your eyebrows with a taupe-coloured eyeshadow and a slanted make-up brush. Brush away residue with an eyebrow brush.

Apply a cream-coloured eyeshadow as a base over the entire eye area to soak up any oiliness on the skin. This also helps your eye colours to glide on, giving an even application. Then apply a pastel green, mauve or pale blue over the eye socket and blend upwards. Add definition along the brow bone with a deeper shade in the same colour, and apply two coats of mascara to your top lashes and one to your bottom lashes.

Remember that dark shades around the lashes and over the eye socket will make your eyes appear small.
