Loose the Load of Your Eyebags

Working too much, sleeping late at night or simply just tired can give a heavy load to those eye bags. You’ll see them either darker or bigger or both when you wake up, and that just won’t do. Here are some tips to hide those dark circles that just ruin your face. Applying a little more of your concealer under your eye can hide them, as well as make you look fresh. Don’t apply too much though, for you don’t want it cake-like. You can also find eye creams that can stimulate the skin’s suppleness and can protect with SPF 15. It should also have light diffusers to hide the dark circles. Several eye gel masks are also sold in the market to keep away those puffy-eyes.

Make-up clean-up

Make-up removers come in different forms and formula. The choice is up to you of course, whichever is suitable for your type of skin or the kind of make-up you use. But whatever make-up remover you have, the best way of using it is to shake a few drops on a cotton ball or cotton pads and dab gently on your skin to avoid unnecessary damages. If you wear water-resistant make-up such as mascara and eyeliner, try using just a little bit of baby oil (not too much if your skin is oily). Wash your skin with plain water and pat gently with a soft clean towel to dry. Don’t forget to apply mild moisturizer afterwards.

目元をより劇的に

最高のスモーキーカラーの目元を手に入れたいなら、まずファンデーションを塗り、次に粉をたたく。指を使ってコンシーラーを目の下の色の濃い部分にたたき込む。目の縁の上下にペンシルタイプの黒いアイライナーで線を引き、小さなアイシャドー用のブラシでぼかす。先がスポンジになったアプリケーターで黒いアイシャドーを直接ペンシルの上につける。優しくぼかす。目全体をブラウンのアイシャドーで囲む。この時、アイシャドー用のブラシを使用する。目の周りは暗めの色にし、目から遠くなるほど明るい色を使用する。まつげをカールし、マスカラを塗り、最後に残りのメークをする。

Eyeliner Tips

I used to dread applying eyeliner. No, really. It�s not a joke when your hand tends to shake and trust me when I say I never wanted to have my eye poked even accidentally. Good thing I was able to scrounge up these tips so I don�t have to be scared of blinding myself:

Try placing a mirror flat on the table since it�s a lot easier to apply eyeliner looking down.

Try eyeliner pencil instead of liquid eyeliner if you�re not that confident with the latter.

Instead of drawing one line over your eye line, you can draw a few dots first and connect them afterwards. Smudge a bit with a brush to smoothen the more jagged edges.

Sharpen your eyeliner pencil before application to make sure it�s clean. Then rub the tip on the skin of your hand first so it won�t be too sharp when you finally apply it.
