Three Steps to Beautiful Eyes

Have you ever wondered how you can get those multi-hued picture perfect eyes seen on the models in the fashion & beauty magazines? Try this three step process. While you may not get it just right on the first try, don't give up. Remember the old adage: practice makes perfect; in this case, let's make it picture perfect.
  1. Apply foundation to entire eyelid to prep skin to hold color. Bush a medium-toned shadow in a neutral shade over the entire lid. Then brush a deeper color along the crease to create depth. Gently smudge colors together to blur any unnatural looking lines.
  2. Use a darker color shadow or eye pencil to rim the lash line. You should make the line thicker at the outside of eye and then get gradually thinner toward the inside corner. For a subtle look, line just the top lash line; for a more dramatic look, line both the bottom and top.
  3. Close eyes and dust lashes lightly with translucent face powder so mascara will cling to them. Brush on mascara, rolling the wand as you stroke lashes for even coverage. Apply a thin coat, let dry, then apply a second coat.
Other Useful Hints
     When applying mascara, hold a tissue under lashes so that makeup doesn’t end up on the skin. And to minimize dark circles under eyes, apply a concealer that is at least half a shade lighter than your skin tone after applying mascara to bottom lashes. Or if you prefer to reduce the appearance of dark circles in just two weeks and have long-term benefits, try TimeWise® Targeted-Action™ Eye Revitalizer. Email E-Class Ventures for a free sample.

Blush Application Tips

Ever wonder how to apply your blush so you won't look like a clown or worse, like some one hit you in the face. Here are some tips to help!

Don't try to "contour" you face with darker and lighter shades of blush if you're just beginning; that's pro territory and requires lots of practice. First figure out what your face shape is and then apply regular blush with your facial shape in mind.


On a Round face: Place blush from the center of your cheek out along the ridge of your cheekbone, blending upward towards your temples. Dot some on your chin too.

On a Square face: Use minimal blush placed on the lower apple of your cheek. Don’t sweep it upwards or to side.

On a Narrow face: Blush goes at the outer point of your cheekbone. Don’t sweep it upwards; keep it horizontal.
