Wetting your brush to apply eye shadow can give you a liquid liner effect. The great thing about this technique is that you can use one or all of your eye shadows. Wetting the eye shadow gives you greater control of the product (it won't fall away), gives longevity to the liner, and adds intensity to the product. Here's the best way to try this technique: dip your brush (or use a mist bottle) into water. Tap excess water away then dip it into the eye shadow -- the idea is to pick up some product, but not to soak your eye shadow. Use the back of your hand to mix the eye shadow. It should have the consistency of moist paste. Not too much water, or it will run. Not too much shadow, or it will be crumbly and not go on smooth. To apply, follow the advice as before. Gently push the color into the base of the lash line. Once that is done, you can go back and smooth the line out. This effect is closer to liquid liner, so you'll want a smooth top line. Do not try to sweep the brush across your eyelid. If you are inexperienced this will just make an uneven line. (Don't worry -- practice makes perfect. Not many people can draw a perfect circle either. Once again, taking a little time to accomplish the task correctly beats rushing through it and messing up.)
The Color of Your Eyes:

Liquid Liner is Hot:
Liquid Liner can be a little intimidating at first, but with practice you too can master the classic fem me fatal look. Liquid liner is like mascara, the more waterproof it is the worse it is for your eyes. Stay away from waterproof unless you know you're going to be in a wedding or a monsoon. Liquid liner comes packaged in three different ways: bottle with brush, bottle with felt tipped applicator, or felt tipped pen. The pen gives you the most control, but not always the best finish. The pens tend to dry out quickly, and you cannot really control how much product goes onto the skin. I prefer the brush or felt tipped applicator because of the control over the product.
Smoky Eyes Never Die
Smoky eye makeup is one of those eternal looks that always surfaces in all the good glossies and on all the right runways. But it's so hard to get it to work if you're not some natural born make-up whiz! The trick is in the tools my friend. Look for a tapered eye brush that will give you a subtle look as opposed to a heavy handed one. And don't feel like it has to be a black smoky eye. Brown or made berry tones square measure even as effective
High Brow :
What are the secrets that allow stars like Jennifer Lopez and Meg Ryan to maintain such perfect eyebrows? First, follow the natural shape you already have and think "refine" NOT "redefine." Second, always remember the angle of the arch is not as you see it in the mirror but as another person views it looking dead on at you. When in doubt, wax, as over-plucking can mean those lost hairs may never grow back. And lastly, use an eyebrow pencil in a shade closer to your skin to soften your brows. The subtlety makes a huge difference.
Powder Power :
Many women turn to foundation to even out their skin tone, but there are other options. Powder is a lighter way to even out your skin and achieve a matte finish. However, powder is not as thick as foundation so it won't cover up prominent flaws. Powder helps to absorb oil on the skin, and you should select a brand that is non-oily and hypoallergenic. Apply powder mainly to you forehead, chin, and nose to cut shine and reduce oil. Some powders even have a shimmer to them. These powders create a warm glow on the face and help to soften blotchy skin. Find the powder that's right for you by avoiding shades that are too dark for your skin.
