Cosmetic foundation is important because it covers flaws in your skin-dark spots, birthmark, scars, dark circles under your eyes and even the dreadful red marks left over from a pimple. Cosmetic foundation to a model is like a base coat of paint to a painter. It makes the surface easier to work with, making all other make up application smoother. It also helps your make up last longer and stay fresher. Once you have got your foundation right, move on to the other stuff.  

Highlight Eye shadow  Choose an eye shadow to compliment your clothing. If you are wearing a blue blouse, choose a nice blue shadow as your base, blending it over your eyelid, up to your brow at the outer side of your eyelids. Now choose a nice complimentary purple to add to the eyelid only. Use a darker blue in the crease of your eyelid. Use a tiny amount of white in the centre at the eyelash level to give highlights.  Eye shadows come in a variety of colors and even in glitters.

Glitters are ok if you are in a party mood. Also they can be fun to wear whey you are young. Glitter are shiny shadow brings out the aging in eyes, so be careful.  

Eyeliners and Mascara Highlighters
Liners can be liquids or pencils. Both work well. Using liquid on the top eyelid        and pencil on the bottom lid is easier. During the day and when you are not working, use tones of browns. In the evenings when you go out, or if you are working, use blacks. Blacks, makes eyes look larger, hence prettier. 
Use the liquid at the top of your eyelashes. Make a very fine line, making sure it blends to your lash. If you want to make your eyes look wider, take this line out to the sides of your eyes but not too far. 
Use the pencil on the top of your bottom eyelid down with one finger as you apply the line with the pencil. Heating the pencil tip slightly works better. But do not hold the pencil in the fire flame, just pass it over.
