Best Makeup for Green Eyes

Did you know that Green eyes are one of the rarest eye colors found in humans – an eye color that is actually a color and not a mutation?

Because green eyes are so rare, finding the right eye makeup to accent your green eyes may be even more rare. But do not despair, here is a quick guide to help you find suitable eye color combinations to make your already stunning-looking eyes appear quite overpowering.

To look like a pro when applying your eye makeup, understand the basic elements of eye color. This entails using a highlighter, a midtone, and an accent. Yes, this means you will usually apply at least 3 different eye shadow shades to your eyes. You will finish your look with eyeliner and plenty of mascara.

The first shade is your lightest, called the highlighter. Use this just below your brow bone, in the inner corner of your eye, and along the inner third of your eyelid (and as far as the whole eyelid -depending upon your eye shape), to brighten that area. A highlighter helps make your eye “pop”.

The second shade is darker, called the midtone. It is usually used along the crease of your eye, blending it upward toward the highlighted area.

The third shade is your darkest, called the accent. You apply this color to the outer part of the crease and along the outer upper and lower lashline. You can make your eyes look more dramatic by using more of the darkest color and applying it along the entire upper and lower lashline.

Here are some guidelines to make your green eyes look phenomenal. Use a shimmery highlighter in an off-white color. Next, use a rosy brown as your midtone. Make sure it is matte in texture. Lastly, use a dark purple as the accent and you will have captured a look that non-green eyed people can only dream about. If you use a purple eyeliner and black mascara, you are in for hearing some double “wows” and seeing others mouths drop in silent “ooohs” as you strut your stuff.

Everyone will envy your gorgeous look, as if they don’t have enough to envy because of your great green eyes! Remember to care for your skin to make your eyes really glow.

How to Choose the Right Facial Cleanser - Top 5 Tips Revealed

We all know that you must use a good skin care program to take care of your face. Consequently, picking the right facial cleanser is crucial to your skin care program. There are many facial cleansers out there on the market, and they are all meant to do different things, depending upon your skin type and skin's needs.

How many times have you complained that using skin care just doesn't work for you? Well, you have to be your own detective. Why would you use something that is ineffective? You must search for what will work in order to have an effective skin care program.

Here are some tips to find the right facial cleanser and how to properly use it.

1. Use the right facial cleanser for your skin type (dry, normal, combination, oily). As a word of advice, if your skin is flaky, it doesn't mean you have dry skin. It might mean you need to exfoliate more often to help slough off the dry skin.

2. Opt for a cleanser that does more. Some products are called a 3-in-1 cleanser because it contains a cleanser, an exfoliator, and a freshener as well, saving you time and money on cleaning your face. These first three steps are crucial to clean your face properly. The cleanser gets rid of dirt and grime, the exfoliator sloughs off dead skin, and the freshener helps clean out pores.

3. If you have normal to dry skin, but tend to have occasional acne outbreaks, don't use a facial cleanser for combination or oily skin. It will dry out your face too much. Instead, opt for an acne treatment product and use it only on the places where you tend to break out.

4. After finding the right formula of cleanser for your skin type, be sure to use it morning and night. You produce oil through the night that needs to be cleansed in the morning, which also preps your face for makeup application. At night, you obviously wash off the dirt, grime, and makeup that you've accumulated through the day.

5. Never use any type of facial cleanser to remove eye makeup. They are too harsh for the delicate skin around the eye area. If you have a cleanser that contains exfoliating beads, this is especially true as the grains can irritate your eye. Always use an eye makeup remover, which is effective and gentle enough to use on your eyes.

Smooth Wrinkles Around Your Eyes

Some may think that if a person starts using an anti-aging product to smooth the wrinkles around their eyes, their skin will develop wrinkles more quickly and they will be dependent on the product. This is actually far from the truth. This is like saying not to drink too much water or you will become dependent on it.

The problem is that the skin around the eye area is very delicate. Consequently, it is the first place where wrinkles set in, and the place where wrinkles tend to be the deepest. You can blame it on genetics, sun-exposure, or having that great ability to “smile with your eyes.” Regardless of how those wrinkles got there (or soon will get there) you need to do something about it or you will definitely look like you’ve neglected that part of your face.

You cannot apply regular moisturizers around the eye because the skin is too thin. Remember that the only products you should use around the eye area are ones that specify they are safe for that purpose. If the product doesn't say it, don't use it there! If you do, you will find that your eyes will sting and burn and the skin will be irritated.

So, the big question that needs to be answered is this: “When should you start giving extra care to the skin around your eyes?” The answer is that most people would benefit from using an anti-aging product for the eye area as early as their twenties to prevent wrinkles. If you can prevent those eye wrinkles from forming deeply, then you will be ahead of the anti-aging game. If you are older than that, the second answer to the big question is “Now!”

Most eye creams found on the market are anti-aging and are usually more expensive. If you are younger and just want a moisturizer that is safe for the eye area, there are some gels and other eye creams that are less expensive and will provide this benefit for you. If you suffer from eye puffiness, look for products that contain cucumber extract (yes, it really does work!)

While you're already concerned for your skin's appearance, be sure to use a good skin care program designed for your skin type. Remember, adding an anti-aging eye product to your skin care program sooner, rather than later, will help prevent severe wrinkles and keep your skin looking young.
