Eye Shadow

Eye shadow is meant to highlight and define the eyes. Eye shadow is used to create depth to bring out the beauty of the eyes. A dark color used on the lid will make the eye appear smaller, while a lighter color will make it appear larger. That is what eye shadow is about - creating illusions. These are the basic techniques for the following eye shapes:

Small eyes: Don’t use too much shadow or liner – it will make you eyes look smaller. Apply a light color on eyelid, use a darker color in the crease and use a highlighter under the brow.

Large eyes: Wear darker shadow on the lid and extend it to the crease. Use a flat color under the brow to highlight.

Deep-set eyes: Use light colors on the eyelid and under the brow. Use a medium color in the crease. Emphasize the outer corners with shadow.

Wide-set eyes: Use darker colors on the inner corners of the eye.

Hooded eyes: Apply light colors on the lid. Use darker colors from the center of the eyelid to the outer corners and blend.

Round eyes: Make round eyes longer by using color all around and extending toward the outer corners.

Oriental eyes: Apply highlighter under the brow. Use light shadow on the inner half of the lid and a darker color on the outer half.

Light colors cause the eyes to open, dark colors will cause the eyes to recede
If you have very light skin avoid dark shades
Be careful with shimmer – they will bring attention to imperfections and wrinkles.
The eye area is the first to show age don’t tug on the skin.

Eyeliners

Eyeliners are meant to define the eyes so they should do just that; not be the focal point of your makeup. Eyeliners come in various colors and forms liquid, pencil etc. Keep the eyeliner natural. Pencils are available in many colors (for the best look stick to black or brown ) and can be sharpened for a fine line. For a smudged effect use a sponge tip shadow applicator or an eye shadow brush. When your pencils are too soft refrigerate them. When they are too hard soften them by holding them between your fingers.

To line the eye, start on the lower lid, just beneath the lashes. When you are finished always smudge the line with your sponge. Stay as close to the lash line as possible. On the upper lid, draw a line form the inner corner to the outer corner, thickening the line toward the outer corner. After the age of 40 keep the line in between the lashes.

Mascara and the creation of beautiful lashes

Mascara frames your eyes and can make your face come alive. Mascara softly accentuates the eye while thickening and darkening the lashes; it is the finishing touch for eyes. There are several different types to choose from, thickening, and waterproof to smudge proof. Waterproof will need a special remover and smudge proof will wash off easily. It is not a good idea to wear waterproof mascara for extended periods of time since it has a tendency to dry the lashes.

Select a shade of mascara that complements your coloring. Dark shades on pale eyes with brown lashes will darken them and will look harsh. Stay away from blues and other colors since they will ruin your look.

Lashes that are hard to curl may need the help of an eyelash curler. Curl your lashes before you apply mascara – hold for ten to twenty seconds.

To apply mascara look straight into your mirror with your chin slightly lifted so you can see your lashes. Insert the wand only once and twist, don’t pump. Pumping can break the brush bristles and distribute the mascara unevenly and will dry out the mascara faster. Start by rolling the wand from root to tip in an upward motion. Reinsert the brush and apply again. If your eyelashes are thick and long they may clunk together. If this happens let them dry and then separate them with the corner of an eyebrow brush.

0 television and your eyes

television and your eyes

If your children are watching television sitting very close to it, immediately consult an eye doctor. They may be having problems with their eyes.

How far should one sit from the TV?

Rule 1:

The size of your television room and the television determine how far you should sit from the TV. A general rule is: Stay as far from your TV screen as visual comfort permits.

Rule 2:

In order to see the picture without strain, sit comfortably by resting your back on the back of the chair. Keep the chin a little raised, the lids a little down and blink frequently.

Rule 3:

In general, a large screen permits comfortable viewing because it gives clearer vision at a greater distance. However, a large screen in a small room is not recommended.

How should lighting be in the TV room?

Never watch TV in a dark room. One should have additional light in the viewing area. The contrast between the bright screen and surrounding darkness causes undue fatigue to the eyes. Use soft, indirect lighting, making sure that the screen does not reflect the light.

0 advantages of contact lenses

a

dvantages of contact lenses

Contact lenses are used to correct refractive errors. They are also used to correct certain special eye diseases. Normally, the cornea is spherical. If a patient has a conical cornea, the condition is called a conical cornea or keratoconus. In such cases the pressure of the contact lens flattens the cornea. If a patient has a white mark on the cornea, coloured contact lenses can be given for cosmetic reasons. Colour contacts are often used to change the colour of the eyes.

What are the advantages of contact lenses over spectacles?

Contact lenses have cosmetic value; the patient need not wear specs. Further, side vision is better with contact lenses. Contact lenses should be used if the difference in power of the two eyes is more than 5 dioptres since the patient will start seeing double if he uses glasses. This is because the two eyes cannot cope with a difference of more than 5 dioptres with glasses. Contact lenses give a more normal image than spectacles. Contact lenses are also preferred in refractive errors of high degrees.

Lens care requires only few minutes each day, good hygiene and good habits.
