You too can benefit from the use of mascara with a few simple tips, bringing the best out of your eyes giving you that model look. Mascara is good only for 3 months for it dries up even if kept sealed, this is good advice for those who live in the tropics for they tend to get lumpy leaving you with uneven lashes.

Practice makes perfect and with some trials, you can get it done right for sure. Eyes give drama even to the most dreary looking faces, added to a well done makeup application and you get that model look you’ve always wanted.

Live in the tropics where global warming has resulted in even hotter temperatures? Consider reserving a space for your pricey make-up in the fridge to save them from meltdown. Stuff like lipstick, eyeliners and other expensive makeup have some waxes and gelling agents that may melt thus lessening their usability. Organics or make-up with natural ingredients normally have no preservatives mixed in so they can indeed spoil and go rancid on you. Some oils degrade in warm weather and so on and so forth, keep them way out of reach of your toddler though, for their normally catchy colors and attractive shapes make them magnets for curious kids.
Keep them on a high shelf in a corner they can’t normally reach(not the freezer for any moisture within them will cause ice formation ruining it forever). A small office fridge or water chiller that has a cool compartment (not a freezer) is nice, kept inside the bedroom, it keeps makeup always within reach and your favorite snacks too!

Finishing eye makeup or accenting the bare eye using the eyeliner is often considered essential. We would be surprised at how much of a difference adding a touch of black eyeliner on the lower rim of your eye can be. There are many different types of liner like gel to kohl to liquid to pencil–and nearly infinite shades, texture and colors that vary from brand to brand. Pencil liners are similar to both kohl and gel liners, but they might seem a bit “wetter” and more movable. Liquid liner on the other hand is just what it says; liquid color that is applied using either a separate brush or with an included applicator. One of the biggest differences between liquid and other forms of liner are that liquid liners can allow for stronger color, often have longer staying power, and more precision.
