Different types of eyeliner for your eyes

Liquid eyeliner is a little dicey. You need to have steady hands to apply it. It comes in a bottle with a thin and pointed brush. If you know the art to apply it, then it can definitely define you lashes and adds drama.

Pencil eyeliner is easy to apply and it is most common. All you need to do is draw a line on your upper lid and lower lid. Make sure you buy the one that is waterproof and smudge proof.  Sharp it regularly to add definition.

A gel eye liner comes in box or a pot. It has finely angled brush which has to be dipped in the pot and then applies on the eyelid. It can also be used as eye shadow and is an ideal option if you like smokey eye. 

There are eye shadows which can be used as eyeliners. This is convenient and easy to use. Get a finely tipped eye lines brush and just dab on the eye shadow using the brush. You can get the desired effect. But this is not water proof so be careful. Make sure it doesn’t get in to your eyes or else it might cause irritation.

Quick Office Makeup Tips

When it comes to office makeup, follow the golden rule – “less is more”. So you have an important meeting after lunch and you hardly have five minutes to apply your cosmetics and refresh your looks.

Here are some tips on how to wear makeup in just five minutes:

Apply foundation on your face and neck and blend it well. It will even out your skin tone. Use compact powder on your face. It will set your foundation in place.



Sure you don’t have time to wear your eye shadow. But you can apply your eye liner pencil within seconds. Apply your eye liner on the upper eyelid and smudge it a bit to soften it. Now apply your mascara on your lashes. This will enhance the natural beauty of your eyes.

Apply your blusher on the apples of your cheeks. Always go for light shade. Apply your blush in a circular motion and blend it well.

Always use a lip liner if you want to wear lipstick. Lip liner helps your lipstick to stay in place. Outline the natural line of your lips and fill the color in your lips. Your lip color will stay for longer time. Apply one coat of your lipstick and then blot it with a tissue. Then apply second coat of lipstick. If you don’t have time to put on your lipstick, you can apply lip gloss. Don’t choose bold shades.
