Shaping your eyebrows can make your eyes appear larger, as well as opening up your face. Most people’s eyebrows will have a good shape naturally, and will only need a of shaping to give them definition. As you get older, your eyebrows will naturally become thicker. Keeping them trimmed will help to keep you looking young.

To shape your eyebrows, start by combing them into their natural shape. Then, using good quality tweezers pull out single hairs at a time. Make sure you grip the hair firmly, and pull it in the direction that it grows in. Pluck from underneath the eyebrow, working outwards from your nose. Check that your eyebrows are symmetrical with a good make up mirror

Eyeliner makes your eye lashes look thicker, as well as defining the shape of your eyes. Eye liner makes eyes appear smaller than they are, so it is best to apply eyeliner to big eyes.There are various types of eyeliner, but the most common types are eye liner pencils and liquid eyeliner.

Eyeliner should be applied after you have applied all other eye makeup. Before applying your eye liner, you should make sure you have good lighting (preferably natural light) and a good makeup mirror, so that you can see clearly what you are doing with the eyeliner. The colour eyeliner you use should match the color of the mascara you are using.

Depending on whether you want a thin line or a thick line, you may need to sharpen or blunt the eyeliner pencil. If you are using liquid eyeliner it will depend on the brush as to how thin or thick you can make the line.
