Makeup Tip #3: Eyes

Here is part 3 in our "Girl's Armor" series.

Did you know that there are hundreds of songs written about the eyes?! The eyes have had an inspiring effect on song writers throughout the centuries.

Obviously, then, the eyes are an important feature for us to enhance when we put on our makeup.

When applying eye makeup, it is important to enhance your natural eye without detracting or distracting from the natural beauty of your eyes. Find the color of eyeshadow that compliments your eye color and experiment with what looks good on you.

To enhance and lenghthen your lashes, use mascara. The main thing is not to wear so much eyeliner and dark eyeshadow that it takes away from the natural beauty of your eyes. Most of the guys I've talked to don't like a lot of eye makeup on girls because they want to see your eyes.

Have fun and experiment with colors and shading and see what looks best on you!

Did you know you can speak with your eyes without saying a word? Have you ever heard anyone say,"Don't look at me that way!" or have you ever gotten in trouble because you rolled your eyes? You were talking with your eyes.

Take some time today and see what people are saying with their eyes and pay attention to what you are saying with yours. You might find that someone is asking for help or comfort with their eyes because their is a sadness behind them. You might discover that you can be an encouragement when you look into the eyes of someone and find fear or worry. You can communicate without a word, so try smiling with your eyes today!

Pay attention to what you are saying with your eyes this week as you walk in your beauty, ladies.
