EYES

WIDE

OPEN

Concealer isn’t the only

way to fake eight hours.

Research found liner and

mascara made eyes look

six per cent bigger. To

reap max benefits, try

these moves from make-

up pro Suzy Gerstein.

SMELL OF VICTORY

The latest trend is for ‘workout perfumes’ that help users get

amped for the gym. But what boosts you could make someone

else pass out. Scent and sweat responsibly with a fragrance

oil, says pro Anne McClain. Most sprays are alcohol-based and

have more wafting power, but an oil rolls directly onto your

skin and keeps the scent farther from your workout neighbour.

Step 1 : LID

EYESHADOW

Bright eyes look more

awake, so apply a peach

hue (it nixes discolouration),

such as MAC Eye Shadow

in Jest ($33), from the lash

line to just below the crease.

Step 2: CREASE

EYESHADOW

Blend a rose-gold shade,

like Gilded Cage Revelation

Eyeshadow in No.23 Rose

Gold ($16.95), into the

crease. This will create the

illusion of depth, making

your eyes look larger.

Step 3 : MASCARA

Sweep on a lengthener,

like Revlon Super Length

Mascara ($21.95), and let it

dry. Then apply a second

coat to the outer corners,

building volume there to

draw eyes up and apart.

Step 4: LINER

Choose a gel formula, such

as Marc Jacobs Highliner

Ultra Skinny Gel Eye Crayon

in Blacquer ($35), that

matches the colour of your

lashes (brown for light hair,

black for dark). Draw an

ultra-thin stroke (sans

wing) along the upper lid.

Skip liner altogether on the

bottom: it minimises eyes.
