Makeup Tips to Open your Eyes

No matter your age, your eyes do a lot of "talking." You want your eyes to look luminous, alert and youthful. Some women, me included, weren't blessed with gorgeous "doe" eyes that look perpetually surprised. However, as long as I have makeup, I can fake it! If you have squinchy or small-looking eyes open your peepers with these tried and true makeup tips.

Go light! I blame it on the ever-popular smoky look that I do love so much. As a former makeup artist, I learned that you could get a smoky look without using black, brown or deep green colors. Go smoky but light! Blend in colors with a brush not a sponge applicator.


Buy quality eyeshadow.Not all eyeshadows are made alike. Cheap shadows are just colored powder with very little pigment. Invest in pretty, bold colors that will open the eyes.


Don't go topless! I cringe when I see women with tiny eyes line the lower lids only. Line the tops or the top and bottom -- never just the bottom. If your eyes are very small, ditch the lower liner. Line the top and extend the line a little past the natural eye line. This will lift and open the eye. Don't believe me? Do the eye test. Make one eye up with just the liner on top and the other with liner on bottom. Compare the two. You'll see the clear winner.


Curl those lashes. Wild and woolly eyelashes won't help your eyes look wider. Control your lashes with a eyelash curler. Do this once a day to train lashes to flip up and outward, creating a wider eye look.


Rim the eyes with white liner. White eyeliner is no stranger on the makeup scene but we do tend to forget about this tool. Make lining the lower eye rim with white liner the last step in your eye makeup regimen. All eyes will be on you with this added touch.


Go inside. Sweeping eyeshadow in the crease of the eye is a good way to create definition. One thing to avoid is applying eyeshadow too close to the edge of the eye. Instead focus on making an inverted arc, go from the inside of the eye outward.


Wear highlighting powder. Use a soft brush to sweep a shimmery highlighting powder around the eyes. Highlighting adds luminosity to your eye makeup look.

Beauty Tips to Look Sexier

Hands up if you've ever found yourself in a beauty rut? You know what I'm talking about--tan eyeshadow on the lid, boring pink lipstick and a swipe or two of mascara. Off to work, school or the ballpark, all looking very predictable. Boring! Inside is a sexy you dying to some turn heads. You can do it with these nine sizzling beauty tips.

Rock vixen hair! You don't need a drastic new hair cut - just add this sexy style to your hair repertoire. Wash your hair and then towel dry it. Add a touch of styling gel to your locks, working it in with your hands. Don't brush. Place a diffuser over your blow dryer and dry your locks. This "bed head" look will have his thoughts racing. Scented hair is easy and slinky. Use hair products that don't have scent. Instead, spray your hair lightly on the ends with your favorite perfume. As your hair moves, you'll leave behind some sultry fragrance.

Stain lips and cheeks. Staining gives color without leaving icky, gloopy lipsticks behind. Instead rolling on the gloss, try a stain. Stains are long-lasting and are good way to make your lips look really kissable! Tap your cheeks with lip stain to get a rosy glow.

Get on top - at least with your eye liner. Avoiding lining the entire eye with black liner. You'll look hooker-ish instead of sexy. Try this. Line the top lashes only starting at the inner most eye then drawing to the center, just above the pupil. Finish the line by drawing from the center to about ½ past your lash line. Give the end of the eyeliner a little lift upwards. Smooth over the liner with a deep purple or sultry blue eyeshadow. Use the tip of a sponge applicator.

Wear stockings. Stockings have been sexy for generations. Don't fight it! Pantyhose and thigh highs are a feminine accessories that guys love to touch.Colored nail tips scream "ooh la la!" Even nature girls should give it a try. Paint toes and fingernails an exciting color. Of course, before giving yourself a paint job, trim and shape your nails.

Shine, baby shine with sparkling eye accents. Don't go overboard with a completely frosted look but do add a sparkling metallic highlighter to your upper lids or under your lower lashes.

Puff those lips with a lip plumper. Temporary lip plumpers cause lips to swell slightly giving you fuller, sexier lips.

Show some confidence. Confidence is the feature that makes us the most sexy. Smile, hold your head up, walk with confidence!

How to Make the Prettiest Ponytail: The Hollywood Style

Want to have the celebrity style pony tail?

Well, it’s a great fix during a bad hair day. Cover it up with a pretty tail with these red carpet-inspired tricks.

1. Use a paddle brush to remove any tangles, then comb your hair straight back so that you don't have a part.

2. Now tip your head back, and gather strands into a ponytail. Leaning creates volume plus prevents part lines and bumps.

3. When gathered hair is level with your eyes, secure it with an elastic band. Wrap it tight (shoot for three loops) so that the band doesn't sag and look sloppy. Then take small chunk of strands and wrap it around the elastic band, securing it with a couple bobby pins.

4. Style your bangs — don't slick them back into the ponytail. And let short layers hang naturally, rather than forcing them into the elastic. A wispy, piecey look is sexy.

5. Section off the tail into three parts, and wrap each around a curling iron for 10 seconds. Gently brush out the curls for a bouncy, total bombshell effect.


6. To fight frizz, pat a drop of John Frieda Root Awakening Strength Restoring Smoothing Lotion, $6.49, over your finished style.

That’s it! Try it and let’s see how many camera clicks you’ll get. :)
