Waterproof Mascara
Choosing a mascara that bests suits you is not quite as simple as you thought. There are a few thing to consider. The fact that there are so many brands on the market today does not make it easier either. First of all stay clear off all mascaras that are not waterproof. You get a far worse result when you use a non-waterproof mascara than you would if had used a waterproof one. Non-waterproof mascaras do not stay on for very long and they don't look as good in the first plave either. That's because the color cannot harden on your eyelashes as it needs to be removable without a solvent. Waterproof mascaras have a different chemical structure that makes the color stick to your lashes and add volume and length.
Another thing to that is important is the color. Most women think that they should choose the color according to the color of their eyelashes. Basically all women have black eyelashes and they choose black accordingly. That's where some women go wrong. If you are blond you should reserve black mascara for special occasions and use brown or dark blond color during the day. Women with darker hair and skin color should do the opposite. Use black during the day and reserve lighter colors for evenings.
Okay, now you have chosen a waterproof mascara and the right color for you. Now it's time to choose the correct type of mascara. Basically there are two types of mascara. The kind that makes your lashes look longer and the type that makes your lashes look thicker. If you have long thin lashes then you obviously choose the one that makes them look thicker. For short and thick lashes choose the one that makes them look thicker. That's how you choose the best waterproof mascara for you.

Green Eyeshadow Application
Eye makeup is a very important aspect you should be careful about while applying makeup in your face. Applying eyeliners and eyeshadows appropriately can change the way your eyes look.

Once the shade of an eyeshadow is applied, it is now important to draw a line with an eyeliner to highlight the shade. Extend the sharp line up to the outside edge of your eye. As a fourth step in the process, you can apply one more shade on top of the eye liner. Look at the mirror and do adjustments if at all necessary. The correct combination of eye liner and an eye shadow will strengthen the way your eyes look.

Eyelash Extensions
Not everyone is blessed with beautiful long eyelashes. There is a solution for you that does not have to cost a fortune. Eyelash extensions can be temporary or semi-permanent and offer your eye thick, long natural looking eyelashes. The great thing is there are options that will fit any one's budget and enhance your beauty, proving you do not have to be a celebrity to look and feel great.
Eyelash extensions are made of a single synthetic fiber that is applied directly to the natural eyelash to lengthen it and give it more depth. It is applied by using a high quality adhesive engineered specifically for applying eyelashes. This adhesive is very durable and gives easy application, while allowing easy removal as well. With quality products, you will find the extension will not come off until you want it to.

For those that find that it is not within their budget to visit their local salon, there are high quality and reputable eyelash extension kits. You can find these at your local beauty supply store or online at a discounted price. Be aware, the cost for a quality kit, like those used in the salons is not cheap.

If you are lengthening your eyelashes for a special occasion, you may even be able to get airbrush makeup applied at the same time. Depending on the salon, and the area, you can expect to pay between $400 and $600 for salon-applied extensions.
