Match Brows With Hair

    Brows frame your face and draw attention to your eyes. But the wrong color can wash you out. So the key is to fill them in so that they complement your hair but don't match it perfectly.


Brunette
If you have chestnut hair, look for honey or warm on the label. Those with chocolaty hair should go for medium brown. Try Covergirl Brow & Eyemakers Pencil in Honey Brown (above) or Midnight Brown ($5, at drugstores).

Black
Go with a dark- or medium- brown pencil ( the latter looks best on fair- skinned women with light eyes) but never black, says Foote. Try Clinique Superfine Liner for Brows in deep Brown or Soft Brown

Blonde
Brown should match the darkest shade on your head. Fill them in with a light-brown (taupe) pencil. A good Taupe brow pencil is Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow, works pretty well.

Red
Put down the copper pencil. Few natural redheads have ginger brows. A reddish brown is more flattering . Try using Lorac Creamy Brow Pencil in Auburn at Sephora really good.

A magic wand that can give you an instant makeover.

Hooded
Brush a lengthening mascara onto your top lashes only. The extra length can offset eyelid droopiness the wand and pull the lashes upward as you brush on the mascara.

Deep-Set
Swipe on a volumizing mascara go a little heavier on the center lashes to make youur eyes appear more pronounced. A formula with a shimmer will reflect light, which will aslo help bring eyes forward.

Close-Set
Fanned-out lashes create the illusion of space an width. Use a lash- separting mascara with a plastic-bristle wand to comb out lashes. Add an extra coat to the outer corners to make eyes appear farther apart.

Small
Try a curling mascara its curved wand lets you get close to the lash line, and wax polymers lift lashes and keep them there all day. Applying a light coat to lower lahes can also help fake a wide-open, doe-eyes effect

Beauty Tips| Why You Should Start Sticking Your Mascara In Your Bra

          Apparently there is a majore beauty benefit from sticking your mascara in your bar while you do the rest of your makeup. "I go through a tube of mascara a month since I like to use it a lot. But I've found I can extend a tube by a few weeks just by using body heat on the tube for 5 mintues each day. I just tuck my mascara in my bra cup while i do my base makeup and the mascara is then warmed up enough to go on super smooth. With both application ease and getting lots more applications out of one tube by doing this. Don't know if this would work on all mascaras, but works great with Cover Girl Professional Lash."

Beauty Tips| Create Perfect Brows

Having neat brows frame your face and complete your look!

Shape
Clean up any stray hairs that fall outside of your natural brow shape. tweeze them out in the direction of the hair growth to minimize irritation.

Comb
Use a spoolie brush to comb hairs into place. Brush your brows up and out toward your hairline for the best shape. Cut those extra long hair.

Intensify
Find an eyebrow pencil that is the same color as your hair. Fill in your arch by using short, fast strokes to mimic the shape of real hairs.

Highlight
Apply a champagne shadow along your brow bone below your arch. This will define your shape and add a touch of shimmer to draw attention to your brows.
