EZ Eye Shadows
by Bianca Brad

As in the case of foundation and powder, when applying the eye shadow one should keep in mind that less may be more. Small colour accents can often be more effective. The eye shadow influences the entire face. Therefore, once more, the eye shadow’s role is to accentuate (embellish) the shape and even colour of the eyes. You will definitely prefer to hear: “Look at those beautiful blue eyes!” instead of “Look at that girl wearing blue eye shadows”.

And if we’re done with the eye shadow, we can go to the next stage, namely the more precise definition of the eyes, using the charcoal or the liquid liner.

The charcoal liner is seen as a simple “accessory” in the makeup kit. It can be of different shades of black, brown, green, blue, gray and violet. Few know that the charcoal powder liner was used in antiquity for therapeutic purposes.

Egyptians called it “Mastim” or “Stim”, meaning “what makes the eyes talk” and offered protection against eye diseases which, in warm climates, can be easily transmitted by insects. Besides, the eyes became more expressive, bigger, and the liner became a compulsory “accessory”. Today, there is the pencil liner and the liquid liner, the latter - whether it is in fashion or not - being used for a more sophisticated makeup.
