How to Shape Beautiful Eyes

Bring out the beauty of your eyes by learning the basics of color contouring.  In general, light shades bring features forward visually; dark shades make them recede.  Here's how to use light and dark shades together for maximum impact:

Close-set eyes: To make them look further apart, stick to light shades of shadow, and concentrate color on the outer two thirds of lid (avoid the inner corner).  Line eyes from the mid-point out; apply mascara to outer lashes only.

Wide-set eyes:  Give them dimension with matte shadows in deep neutral tones, concentrating color on the inner third of lid.  Apply eye-liner, broadening the line at the inner eye corner.  Follow with mascara.

Deep-set eyes:  Bring them out with a light, neutral shade from lash line to brow; add a slightly darker shade above the crease.  Line with an eye pencil and smudge to soften (heavy liner makes eyes recede).  Finish with two coats of mascara.

Round eyes:  Shape them with a lighter shadow on lid, a darker shade in the crease.   Line top and bottom lids, extending the line slightly at outer corners.  Add mascara to top lashes only, concentrating on outer lashes.

Small eyes:  For an instant eye opening, curl lashes with an eyelash curler; brush brows up.  Apply a light-toned shadow to lid; add a darker shade at the outer edge and blend.  Line top and bottom lids (the outer third only) and extend the line slightly.  Sweep on mascara, adding extra to outer lashes.

Tip: Avon's TRUE COLOR Powder Eye Shadow Duos take the guesswork out of shadow selection.  Each contains pre-coordinated shades to shape eyes beautifully.

How to choose the right type of foundation

Foundation comes in liquid, cream, stick and liquid-to-powder forms. Liquids tend to be sheerest and creams heaviest, but you can find almost any type of coverage, including long-wearing, in every formulation.

What to think about
Factor in these three considerations when choosing foundation: 1) the degree of coverage you want; 2) compatibility with your skin type; and 3) the type of finish you want. Coverage ranges from super-sheer-the lightest-to thicker, heavier coverage. If your skin is normal-to-oily, choose an oil-free, non-comedegenic formula. Drier skins benefit from moisturizing formulas, such as Avon's Face Lifting Moisture Firm Foundation-Cream Soufflé. Finish, in order from dry to moist, can be matte, luminous or dewy. Tinted moisturizer is a minimalist option and one you can create yourself. Simply mix a bit of moisturizer with a bit of liquid foundation in the palm of your hand and apply as foundation.

*Hint: If your skin is perfect all by itself, you can skip foundation, though it's useful to have on hand for a more finished look when you're dressing up.

The right shade
Test foundation via a fingertip swipe on your jawline, not your hand, cheek or forearm. (The color looks darker in the bottle or package than it will on your skin.) That's the spot where skin tone is likely to represent your true facial coloring. Don't rub it in, just blend the edges; the correct shade will disappear into your skin. The majority of skins, regardless of ethnicity, are flattered by yellow-undertone foundations, such as those found in Avon's "Warm" shade family. Don't make the mistake of thinking you'll give yourself a rosy glow by choosing a pinkish foundation; you'll only look ghoulish. If your skin has pink undertones, try a shade from Avon's "Cool" palette.

*Hint: If you're between shades, blend a dot of each on your palm to get the right tint.
