stays on for longer.

shadow and fill in your eyebrows. Then you will take your highlighting brush and

Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing the correct glasses / spectacles for
you:
The thickness of the lens must be the same as that of the frame.
The glasses must also be attractive and suit your face shape.
Face Shapes
Round Face
If you have a round face, then it is very important that you do not buy a round
shaped frame, because your face will look more round.
It is ideal to choose a square shaped frame this will soften the roundness of your
face.
If your square shaped frame is multi colored, then the darker color of the two
must be on the outside corners of the frame.
For a square shaped face, it is important not to buy a square or rounded framethis will make your face look funny.
The emphasis must be on your eyebrows, so the ideal shape will be an oval or
rectangular frame.
Handbook
Any frame can be worn for a heart-shaped face, except a tear dropped one.
Long Face
If you have a long face, then the emphasis must be on the width of the frame on
the side. A big frame can be worn with ease.
Please note that the frame must never be underneath your eyebrows.
Hairstyles
Feathery Hairstyle
If you have a feathery hairstyle, then a plain frame will look suitable with that.
Formal Hairstyle
Always remember that your frames color must suit the color of your hair.
Eye Shapes
Wide Apart
For eyes that are wide apart, wear an oval or rectangular frame.
For eyes that are close to each other, it is important to wear a rounded shape. This
will give the impression that the eyes are not so close to each other.
Always ensure that your eyes are right in the middle of each lens.
Nose Shapes
Long Nose
If someone has a long nose, then the bridge of the glasses must sit low onto your
clients nose. This will actually divide your nose in half and make it look shorter.
Short Nose
If your client has a short nose, then the bridge of the glasses must be a bit higher.
Forehead Shapes
High Forehead
For a high forehead, ensure that the frame of the glasses sits just above your
eyebrows.
Handbook
Short Forehead
For a short forehead, the frame of the glasses must sit onto your eyebrows.
Such a person can see very well on far distances, but not on short distances.
The lenses of these glasses are normally very thick and this will make the eyes
appear bigger. It is thus very important to apply your make-up very neatly
because every fault, etc. will show through your lenses.
Use light make-up eye shadows, not any shimmering make-up, black eyeliner or
black mascara. Keep it subtle by using rather brown mascara and remember to put
the eye shadow color in the crease of your eye, following your eyes shape.
Such a person can see very well on short distances, but not so good on far
distances.
The lenses of the glasses will not be thick at all and this will make the eyes
appear smaller.
Use stronger colors such as charcoal, dove-blue, plum, etc. and remember that the
emphasis must fall on the fold of your eyes and the outer corners of your eyes.
You can use a shimmering color over your existing eye shadow just to accentuate
your eyes.

The first thing that you must remember is to never match your eye shadow with
the colour of your eyes, unless you have grey eyes.
Warm colours like brown, bronze, gold, peach, deep green, copper, medium pink
and apricot are excellent choices to play around. Also deep purple, plum, mauve
and lilacs bring out the green of your eyes.
These colours are all on the opposite side of the colour wheel and they tend to
brighten the whites of your eyes, so you wont go wrong when using any of these
colours.
For highlighters, you can use taupe or light apricot or even light beige colours,
depending on the medium colour that you are going to apply in the fold of your
eye.
Avoid using cool colours like blue, white, silver and pastels as this will give you a
washed out and weary look.
When it comes to eyeliner, you can use brown, golden brown, deep purple, steel
grey or black for a very dramatic look. If your eyes are very small, then you can
use gold or white eyeliner pencil just to open them up.

Hello brown-eyed lady! You are very lucky, because you have a lot more options when it
comes to eye shadow colours. Since the pigment of your eye is already dark, few colours
will clash with it. You can use a variety of shades combined or on their own to make your
eyes beautiful!
Colours like blue, grey, plum, brown, gold, vanilla and different shades of violet
and purple all make your eyes more appealing. Opt for gold, brown, pink and
bronze to make your eyes look pretty.
For day make-up, keep your make-up soft and lighter than the brown of your eyes
and for evening make-up, be brave and use bolder, darker colours.
You also have the option to use lighter eye shadow colours such as champagne,
light pink, peach and taupe to make your eyes brighter and darker colours such as
grey and charcoal for that smoky effect.
Apply black mascara in two coats to finish off your look.

Ladies, consider yourself lucky if you are one of those fortunate ones with baby blue
eyes. Someone can get lost in them already, but just imagine what the correct eye shadow
colour will do to make them pop.
The best shades to use when you have blue eyes are brown, gold, peach,
chocolate, rust and shades of orange. One of the best shades to make those blue
eyes pop is especially a chocolate brown.
You can even use shades of purple and plum together with grey or light lavender
shade and then just quickly adjust it by going darker if you are planning a night
out with friends.
Again, do not use blue eye shadow on your eyes as this will only make your baby
blues dull.
You can apply shimmering silver in the crease of your eye to enliven it a bit.
If you want to apply eyeliner, you can use browns or bronzy colours during the
day and black in the evening.
You also get to choose between brown or black mascara.

If you have grey eyes, you must consider yourself very unique and this must be shown
off.
It is nice to know that when you have grey eyes, you can actually wear colours in
a darker variant than your eye colour such as deep grey, dark silver and black.
The darker you go with your eye shadow, the more it will bring attention to your
natural eye colour and make it stand out. Even try out the smoky eye look as this
will look awesome with your grey eyes. This does not necessarily mean that it has
to be black; you can get a smoky look by using darker shades of purple as well.
You can also use complimentary colours such as deep browns and purple for a
dramatic night time look. Have a look at eye shadow colours that work for blue
eyes as well as some of these colours, like pebble, pearl and bronze, work well for
both eye colours.
Stick to dark brown or black eyeliners as this will give the eye more definition.
The best choice for mascara will be black as this will keep your eyes well
defined.
