Falling Eyelashes

It is very normal for your eye lashes, like the hair on top of your head, to shed. It re-grows anyway. But if you start to see your vacant spots on your lash line, then there is indeed a little cause for worry.

Avoid wiping harshly at the eyes when cleaning eye make-up. Gently wipe the eye area with a cotton pad or soft tissue. If you use a particular make-up remover, then perhaps you may reconsider trying other brands or other methods of make-up removal.

Do not overuse mascara and the eyelash curler. Dramatic lashes are one thing but bald ones are another.

If these don�t work, change your eye make-up brands. If this doesn�t work either, it�s time to go to the doctor. Losing your lashes may be a sign of a medical condition rather than your skin�s chemical reaction to make-up.

Make Up for the Eye

One trick that experts keep in mind is that, light colors will highlight the eye, while dark colors will tame them. To make widely-spaced eyes look closer, draw your eyebrows nearer together and blending in the eye shadow near the nose will do the trick.

Women who are more than 18 years old, should avoid applying foundation to the crease of the eye. Apply loose powder instead. For puffy eyes, apply a highlighter or a light-shade foundation under the eyes to make the light refract and give the illusion that your eyes are even with your face.
