Think you know everything about eye make-up? Brush up with our quick refresher course
Some eye make-up don't dos are really obvious - frosty blue shadow is one, extending eyeliner past the corner of the eye a la Cleopatra is another. Follow these easy tips to avoid common eyesores
• Limit deeper-coloured eyeshadows to the eyelid.• Use lighter coloured shadows on the brow bone.
• For a casual but polished look, sweep one shade from your lashes to your brow bone.
• Use cream shadows sparingly, as the colours tend to be very vivid.
• Eye gloss is the newest trend. It can add a pretty, sheer shine to lids, but don't try it unless you know you can carry it off. If applied incorrectly, eye gloss can look greasy and garish.
• When applying powder eyeliners, first run the applicator brush under cold water. Then apply it wet for a more intense colour.
• White, pink and yellow eyeliner pencils tend to make the eye look open and brighter. The colour blue counteracts redness, and black will give you a sultry look.
• In order to apply eyeliner easily, manufacturers sometimes make it so creamy that it doesn't stay on well. Instead, use a matching eyeshadow or powder liner to set your creamy eyeliner.
