Makeup tips for Eyes

Beauty Tips & Tricks : Makeup tips for Eyes Your eyes can be made to look attractive by following our eye makeup tips and eye beauty secrets which can enhance your charm further. The first step towards eye beauty is to have well-shaped brows. Keep your eye brows in shape by plucking out stray hairs. The only way to tame an out of balance and an uneven brow line is to tweeze or thread the unruly hair. Removing eyebrows by tweezing or threading is the best known method. Take the sting out of the operation by dabbing the eyebrows with a piece of cotton wool dipped either in eau-de-cologne or astringent lotion. Then, take your tweezers and holding the surrounding skin taut grip the hair close to the roots and give a sharp tug in the direction the hair grow.
  • Always pluck the hairs from underneath the natural brow line and never from above. Hairs over the bridge of the nose are never a pretty sight; therefore always pluck them out from between the eyes. Remember that the most beautiful eyes are so spaced so that in the distance between them another eye can be placed. To prevent the skin from bulging after plucking wrap ices cubes in a piece of cloth and gently massage the area. Plucking should be done every alternative day for a consistent well groomed look. However if the hair are too small to come in the grip of the tweezers, camouflage the green color by applying a little foundation over the area and blending it well into the skin. Bleaching also helps in camouflaging the skin defects.
  • An eyebrow pencil is necessary to fill in the sparse areas. Darken the color of the eyebrows if too light and to recreate missing eyebrows. The general color rule for eyebrow pencil is black, as black brows predominate among women. Sharpen the pencil by making a flat chisel-shaped point. Begin reshaping at the nose end of the brow, to a point beyond the outer corner of the eye. Make every effort to follow the original curve of the brow and never extend the brow too far beyond the outer corner of the eye. The eyebrows should be refashioned by a series of fine lines but never drawn in a solid line. The pencil must be used to tint the actual hair of the brow and not the flesh in between. A well-shaped dark brow on the other hand, may require no penciling, whatsoever just a net brushing with little cold cream or Vaseline.

  • EYE SHADOW: Another tool in eye makeup is an eye shadow which gives an enchanting touch of depth and mystery to the eyes. It is often more dramatic and effective when it harmonises with the color of your dress. For day, choose a subtle light shade and for evenings when artificial lights soften and tend to drain color from the face wear heavier shades. Before applying eye shadow, use foundation over the eyelids because it makes a good base for the eye shadow. Eye shadow should be only blended in the upper eyelids. Close one eye and place a small amount of color close to and almost touching the upper eyelashes from inner to outer corner of the eyes. It should then be blended with your index finger or brushed upwards into a fade away effect below the eyebrows. It should be darkest near the lid. Two shades can also be used - one next nearest to the lashes should be of a deeper shade then the one used on the rest of the lid. It is a beauty secret of models to use a deeper shade close to the lashes to give the eyes extra glamour.
  • EYE LINER: Most important tool in eye makeup is an eyeliner. A soft line drawn next to the upper "Iashline" with the eyeliner is a makeup tip that makes the eyes look larger and brighter. Liquid eye?liner applied with a fine brush produces wonderful results. To line upper eyelid, after the eye shadow is blended to a correct position, dip the brush in color, hold outer corner of the eyelid taut and draw a fine line as close to the lashes as possible, beginning at the inner corner of the eye and finishing just at the outer with a slight upward turn. To line the lower lid, with the index finger, hold lower lid down and away from the eye and draw a faint line starting at the inner corner of the eye at a point corresponding with the upper line and continue along the lower eyelid to just beyond the outer corner slanting slightly upwards as before. Blend the lower line carefully; making sure no flesh is visible between the line and the lashes.

    Mascara - How to Apply:
  • Applying Mascara is a must for the starry eyed look because it makes the lashes appear longer and thicker. First brush the lashes downwards over upper eyelids. Mascara goes on better under a fan. The lashes do not gum together due to air. Apply mascara with a clean brush. Choose either automatic roll-on or liquid mascara. Use the one you find easiest.
  • Cover the brush with a light coating of mascara and stroke it on the lashes working from the base to the tip. The lower lashes should be just tinted with color. If your mascara smudges the while applying it on the lower lashes, slip a piece of paper underneath before you paint them. When the first coat is dry, apply a second one. Finally, go over the lashes with a dry brush to separate them and to remove excessive mascara. Use a cotton bud dipped in hot water to remove any smudges left by the mascara.
  • If mascara applied properly, the lashes should be a series of individual hair, not one solid mass. For day time, only one coat of mascara should be used and for the night two. For the stunning glamour girl look after the mascara is completely dry take a little gold or silver eye shadow on the fingertip and stroke the ends of the upper lashes from below. It is very effective for the late night parties.
  • If your eyelashes are thin or spare you can try false eyelashes. First, put on eyeliner and mascara on your own lashes to curve them, and then remove eyelashes from their case. If they are too wide for your eyes trim them at outer ends. Then pierce the neck-of adhesive tube with the pin provided. Holding lash firmly at centre point with tweezers, apply thin line of lash adhesive along the root strip of the lashes.
  • Looking down into the mirror, apply the mascara lash as closely as possible to natural lash line and centrally on the eyelid. Loosen grip with tweezers and use tweezers to place inner and outer corner of lash in position. Draw a thin eyeline over base of lashes with eyeliner to hide lash base.
  • To remove false lashes simply peel lash base from eyelids starting from the inner end. Women who wear glasses can also make the most of eye makeup. Rather then mask out the eyes glasses draw attention to them so you can do with a minimum use of eye makeup. Use eye shadow because it flatters the eyes behind the lens and helps absorb the glare.
  • Apply an exotic shade of mascara in the evenings to give your eyes an extra impact. Use mascara in moderation on the upper lid, but there should be just a suspicion of it on the lower lid.

    Eyeshadow Makeup Tips
    Caring For Your Delicate Eye Area: The eye area is the area to show the signs of ageing for many people and is also a problem area for fluid retention.
    Here are few tips on caring for the delicate eye area:
  • Certain moisturizers that swell up are not be applied.
  • Separate eye creams/gels are a must if you suffer with puffy or ageing eyes.
  • Hold a metal spoon under cold running water for a few minutes and then gently press it onto the eye area to soothe, cool and reduce swelling.
  • Cucumber slices are good one for reducing puffiness and soothing tired, sore eyes.
  • Hemorrhoid creams containing sharks liver oil or yeast applied to the puffy area, they're good are for reducing swelling.
  • Soak used tea bags in cold water for around ten minutes (making sure they are really cool) and place them on the puffy area. Start at the outside of the eye and roll them gently inwards.
  • Elevate your head when you sleep to encourage fluid to drain away from the eye area.
  • Place a slice of raw potato underneath your eyes. The potassium in them counteracts dark circles.
  • Diet, again! Avoid salty food which can cause fluid retention

    Eye shadow That Stays Beauty Tip
    Many women have problem of melting eye shadow, but If you use a damp eye shadow brush and apply a layer of face powder to your lids and allow to set, the shadow will stay in place for the day. Takes some time but the effort is well worth it.
    Remedies For Puffy Eyes
  • Take a metal spoon and run it under cold water. Place the spoon on the puffy area for at least 60 seconds.
  • Apply hemorrhoid cream (prefer brands that contain ingredients of yeast and shark's liver oil) to the puffy area. Its known for years that in just the way it gets the swelling out of that other area, it works the same way for the face.
  • Thin cucumber slices used as compresses over closed eyes will relieve sore, puffy eyes.
  • A black tea bag soaked in cold water on each eye for ten minutes will reduce swelling caused by fluid retention. Gently press from inner to outer corners to hasten drainage.
  • Avoid salty foods, which cause the under eye area (and the rest of your body) to hold fluid.
  • Elevate your head when you sleep, to keep fluid from settling around your eyes

    Lining Eyes
  • Steady hands and the near precision of a neurosurgeon is required to put on eyeliner. Dust a sheer, loose powder on the upper and lower lids so the eyeliner sticks better. If you are going to curl your lashes, do it now else you may smudge the line. Choose the right formula. For a clean straight line, use a liquid version try one with felt tip, like those from L'Oreal. Pencils are best to create a softer, more subtle line.
  • To minimize shaking of your hands, rest your elbow on a hard surface. Start in the middle of the eyelid, and drag the liner to the inner corner of the eye, drawing as close to the lashes as possible. Go back to the center of the eyelid and repeat the process outward.
  • To make your eyes look smoky, dab eye shadow (in a similar shade) over the line and lightly fan it out. This will also help the liner stay in place.
  • If the liner smudges, don't reapply more. Instead, clean up the line with a dampened Q-tip.

    Ice climbing tools, gear, and equipment

    Ice climbing tools, gear, and equipment

    Ice climbing tools, gear, and equipment Guide to buying and finding the best essential ice climbing tools, gear and equipment.
  • Several sporting goods companies have come forward to respond to the demand of the modern alpine ice climber. The surge in new technologies in this area provides ice climbers with the newest and most state-of-the-art gear on the planet. Ice climbing is one of those sports when specialized equipment and clothing are a must for both safety and survival.
  • As far as clothing is concerned, most ice climbers desire a body suit or set of bibs specifically for winter travel. These suits are designed to retain warmth while keeping out moisture and debris. Most of these suits are made for the articulation necessary for ice climbing. They are often reinforced at the knees and the ankles. If wearing bibs or separate snow-pants during a climb, a coat that hangs past the waist is a must. As an ice climber reaches, and stretches, the longer coats cover the midsection and ensure that the climber is not exposed to the elements.
  • While focusing on clothing, it is important to mention that a hat that accommodates a climbing helmet is also a necessity. Gloves with rubberized palms, designed for gripping ice tools, are the best bet for hand coverage. Gloves should always be attached with wrist straps to avoid becoming lost. An ice climber without gloves can find him/herself in a bad spot battling frostbite without this simple precaution.
  • Boots used by ice climbers are often designed out of synthetics such as plastic. Hard shell boots are the rule in alpine regions as they provide rigid soles for the attachment of crampons. More sophisticated models also allow for good foot rotation, necessary in "flat-footing", and still provide excellent ankle support. Lastly, gaiters, to go over top of footwear, are also a good idea. Gaiters keep the ankle free of ice, snow and debris while, at the same time, protecting bootlaces. They also provide extra warmth and make moving through deep snow more pleasant.
  • The tools of ice climbing are, like the clothing, highly specialized. Crampons are the mainstay of this activity. These metal spikes make it possible for the ice climber to safely traverse icy landscapes and scale vertical ice falls. Crampons attach to the climber?s boots and can easily be removed when no longer necessary. The two main types of crampons are rigid and hinged. The type chosen by the climber is based on the activity at hand. Front-pointing, a technique used in scaling vertical ice, is most easily accomplished with rigid framed crampons. These are more technical, and more expensive, than hinged crampons. Hinged crampons, however, are sufficient for moderate ice travel.

  • The next most important piece of gear in the ice climber?s arsenal is the ice axe. These devices are usually fitted with an adze or hammer opposite the axe?s blade. They come in many varieties; curved, reverse curved, technically curved, or straight. These tools have numerous uses from aiding in scaling ice to stopping a climber who has slipped on steep ice and is sliding out of control. Most ice axes are fitted with wrist leashes to keep the climber from loosing the device and also to facilitate in holding and swinging the axe. These leashes are bound close to the axe shaft so that they do not get caught or tangled on any other equipment while they are in use.
  • Ice screws are important pieces of equipment for setting rope placements. Ice screws come in several designs and, again, the type used depends on the type of climbing being attempted. Some screws are hollow, allowing for less ice fracture, while others are solid, for harder more stable ice. Some ice screws are made to be quickly placed by screwing in with an attached ratchet or other device (read: hand) and some are hammered in and "screwed" out. All are designed for removal and to be used more than once, depending on the condition of the device after the climb.
  • Another piece of gear for ice climbing includes the holster. Holsters for carabineers, screws and other ice tools make it easy to carry a large quantity of these items while at the same time keeping them well organized. Ropes for ice climbing are standard 10 ? 11 millimeter climbing rope. While the standard length is 50 meters (165 feet) some climbers prefer longer ropes for longer pitches. It is also worth looking into the newer, water repellent ropes that are designed to keep from freezing.
  • With all the gear covered, the final thing that needs protection is the eyes. It is often underestimated how quickly one can become blinded by the reflection of the sun?s rays off of freshly fallen snow. Heavily tinted and specifically designed glacier goggles are the answer to this problem. No brand is cheap, and it is worth noting that when dealing with one?s sight, think quality over price. Even temporary blindness in such extreme conditions can lead to disaster.
  • The fundamental tools and equipment of this alpine sport have been covered in their most basic form. It is always best to personally try on and inspect all gear prior to purchase and prior to every trip. Each climber will have unique needs and tastes. Always remember that this equipment should be used only after receiving proper instruction in its use. A little training can go a long way to make this adventurous sport enjoyable for a lifetime.
