Your eyes are the window to your soul, and what better way to draw attention to one of your face’s most important features than with make-up? You don’t need a Hollywood professional to do a star quality make-up job at home, though. Here are some simple tips to get you started.

Eyelashes can provide a bold border to your eyes, drawing attention to the colors of your pupils and making them look bigger. One of the best things to do with your eyelashes is to curl them before applying mascara. This increases their volume, which the mascara will accentuate.

The jury is still out on whether to apply mascara to your lower eyelid. It depends on the shape of your face and the folds of your eye. Experiment with your makeup to see if it works for you or not.

Light eyeshadow is one of the biggest secrets in the makeup artist’s repertoire. Putting a small amount at the inside ridge of your eye where the upper and lower lids meet creates a highlighting effect that makes the whites of your eyes appear brighter and clearer.

In addition, keeping your eyebrows neatly trimmed can do a lot for the look of your face. Arched eyebrows attract attention to your eyes, and if they’re neat and carefully manicured, they’ll help your eyes pop more than ever.
