Eyes are the mirrors to the soul. This explains why we always strive for sexier, longer, more beautiful eyes. Here are key things to help us get them.

1. Pick the Right Tool.

Picking just the right brush of the right size with the right bristle makes all the difference. Study the space between your upper lash line and eyebrows with your eyes opened. 3/5 of that is the perfect brush width. As for sponge tip applicators, you'll never go back to them.

2. Pick the Right Colors.

When you come right down to it, there are only a few reliable eyeshadow colors that look great on you. Other colors are for fun and experimentation. Pure browns can look outdated but shades like coral, orange, and even stealth grey can bring your eyes forward.

3. Get the Right Touch.

This is the most difficult part. All the right tools and colors are useless, unless they are in the hands of someone with that magical touch. It's all in the touch, magically light touch. Perfect it.

4. Apply the Tricks.

Control the length of your eyes with judicious use of eyelining pencil. For bright, alert, cute eyes, make the line thicker toward the ends and stop a bit outside the outer corners. For longer, sensual eyes, draw the line as much as a quarter inch past the outer corners. Blend upward and outward to create a natural looking shade.

5. Final Step.

Using right mascara formulation completes the look. Apply mascara as many times as you want if your eyelashes are short or sparse.
