No matter how old you are, everyone wants to look young. Signs of aging begin affecting the thin skin in your eye area while in your 20s, due to sun damage, pollutants, and a decrease in collagen production.

Eyes are known to be the windows to your soul, and one of the most popular features to emphasize. Whether you’re pressed for time or happen to be a no-nonsense makeup girl, eyeliner should be a staple in your cosmetic case.  If applied correctly, it can wake up your eyes, enhance, and draw attention to them. There›s a wide variety of looks to choose from. No matter what shape of eyes you have - large or small, hooded or bulging - there are some tricks of the trade that can be learned. The following tips will help make your eyes sparkle.   

Are you sick with COVID or the flu?  Did you know that these viruses are actually traveling faster than the speed of lightening this winter? If Omicron were not rampant enough, it seems we’re experiencing one of the worst flu seasons in decades, and the flu shot did not necessarily target the right strain.  So far, the weather has been quite mild and there are more germs to contend with than during a frosty winter.  

Do you often wonder what color shadows work best for your eyes? Choosing the right shades will help play up the windows to your soul and enhance your natural beauty.  Whether your eyes are brown, blue, hazel, or green, there are choices for everyone.  

Less is often more! Did you ever look into the mirror and notice your complexion looking thick, cakey, or masklike? This often happens as a result of applying too much foundation or concealer, which is quite aging.

Although I love to wear a vibrant lip gloss from time to time, I usually prefer playing up the eyes or opting for balance between both features.  As women, we can enjoy trying different makeup looks to suit our tastes, creativity, attire, and the seasonal trend. With so many choices available, many women want to know which feature is best to emphasize, regardless of the current style.
