Party Eye Makeup

Party Eye Makeup ; Every year I see women going to a great deal of effort over their Christmas party outfits but very often make-up is an after thought and on the day they wonder how they might glam up their every day look. This year why not book a make-up lesson well in advance and learn how to change your natural daytime look into a more glamorous one for the evening.

Eye make-up is definitely something that can be changed significantly for parties. Most women only wear one or two eyeshadows during the day but a make-up lesson will show you how to use up to four shades for a glamorous evening look. The shades you use in the evening can be deeper and have more shimmer than daytime shades if the skin around the eyes is still youthful. Your eye pencil can also be of a deeper shade although if your colouring is quite fair you may wish to smudge it with a lighter shadow. Add two coats of mascara but if you want even more of a dramatic effect consider false eyelashes.
