Hey, Glamour Eyes

  1. Apply a creaseless cream shadow/liner. Sweep talent brush - makeup brush over creaseless cream shadow/liner in bunny hop, so a small amount in on both sides of the brush. Apply, blending up from the lash line to the brow bone.

  1. Duster on your “extender” shade. Layering our silky powder eyeshadow in soft shoulder over your cream shadow extends your eyes, making them look bigger…that’s why it is called your “extender” shade! Sweep the flush shadow brush over the shadow so a small amount is on both sides. Starting at the outer corner of your lid, lightly blend shadow halfway in then up & out.

  1. Perfect your lashes. Lift, lengthen & curl lashes to perfection with get bent lash - mascara, a rich black mascara. It’s a whole new angle on mascara.

  1. Now, the finishing touches! Dust on a flush with thrrrob, a pulse-racing pink face powder. All of our famous box o’ powders include a brush for easy application.

  1. Finish with a slick of lipstick. Apply a neutral lipstick that’s sheer with buildable coverage, like our silky-finish lipstick in a creamy plum brown shade like good-to-go.

Eye make up tips - caring for your eyes

One aspect of eye make-up, is ensuring you are looking after your eyes. The eye area can easily become infected or sore, if proper care isn't taken with make-up.

Make-up does expire and this is particularly important with eye-make-up, which should be discarded after three months. If you develop an eye infection, discard all your eye-make up that has been applied immediately prior to developing the infection and start again. Never share your make-up with anyone else and avoid using make-up testers in stores.

If you are prone to allergy, only try one new product at a time. If you find an allergy, check the ingredients and keep track of what may be causing the allergy.

Ensure your face and eyelids are thoroughly cleansed before applying make-up and ensure you don't cover the oil glands of the upper and lower eyelid as these oil secretions protect the eye surface.

If you are prone to dry eyes, avoid powder eye-shadow and glitter, as these flakes can easily cause irritation, by getting onto the tear duct.

Ensure you remove all eye-make-up at night, especially mascara, as this can lead to irritation and infection.
