Eye Spy

As we all age makeup is harder to do with all the fine lines that appear on the skin out of nowhere hehehe.  I firmly believe wear what you want to wear on your face and don't be afraid to do your  own thing and dont follow the fashion if you don't want to.  Some people are not keen on  makeup and some people are.  I personally think a little makes us feel better well it does to me.  Do not take any notice of any of these magazines that say you cannot wear black eye liner after a certain age ... its rubbish.  I love a good old smokey eye!  A good tip though is to use a pencil eyeliner and either a) smudge it a little or b) dust some eyeshadow on the top of it or do both, the end result is lovely.  Even try using a black that has got little shimmer, it sounds awful but I tell you it looks great.  Try Clinique Black Diamond Shaper for eyes its good.  Or if you prefer matt with no shimmer try Clarins Waterproof Eye pencil, it has pencil on one end and smudger on the other.  Both are good for the eyes, they don't drag and are soft and they work well.  They obviously are more expensive than some brands but its worth it.  I am sure there are others that work as well more expensive and less expensive, but these two work for me.  Curl the eyelashes with eyelash curler and add lashings of mascara and that's the basics of a good eye.  If you are adding eyeshadow into the mix make sure you prime the eye first.  Boots No 7 eye brightener is a good one to use although use it sparingly, again there are plenty of other makes on the market and its best to find one that works for you, but Boots works for me. Work the eyeshadow using a brush and make sure you blend blend and blend again, there is nothing worse than lines et voila!
