To makeup artist Carmindy, a beautiful face is all about the lash line. “It defines your eyes, gives you a youthful appearance, makes everything else stand out,” she tells PEOPLE. “We talk about skin, blush, lipstick, shadow, but a thicker, beautiful lash line is all you need to walk out of the house and look like a million bucks.” So how does one accomplish this?
Liner. The What Not to Wear star — a Latisse spokeswoman — recommends smudging your eyeliner. “My favorite way to do it is to sweep a pencil along the upper lash line, as close to the roots as possible, then wiggle it between those roots. Take a flat angle brush and smooth over the liner, so you don’t have a perfect line, but just a hint of smudge, which makes it look more natural.”
As for colors, “opposites do attract,” Carmindy says. So use chocolate-brown liner on blue eyes, deep navy on brown eyes, eggplant or plum on green eyes and forest green on hazel eyes. (She suggests saving black liner for dramatic nighttime looks.)
