Its in HER eyes...O_o

 When it comes to creating the perfect face we believe its all in the eyes. Whether you have blue, brown, hazel or green eyes, making them pop with your makeup should be your number one priority next to correcting and perfecting your complexion.

A lot of people think that just smearing tons and tons of eyeliner is enough to do the job and while it can work sometimes when creating a vampy, Gothic look, there are many many other ways to open and emphasise your peepers with eyeshadow colour, lashes (super important) and liners. If you want to get experimental we recommend buying a eyeshadow palette with tons of colours like the BH Cosmetics 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 3rd Edition and a good set of brushes so you have the tools to really create fantastic advanced looks. If you already have a brush set but need more brushes for eye makeup application the Eye Essential 12 Piece Antibacterial Makeup Brush Set - Studio Line is great as it contains all the brushes you need.

You will also need the tools for great lashes. We suggest getting two mascaras, one for lengthening and another for thickening as layering your mascara will acheive a much better effect than relying on one to do both jobs. Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascarais absolutely FANTASTIC at lengthening without clumps or being too thin and Estee Lauder MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara thickens lashes like no other without crumbling.  If you want a good set of false lashes but don't want to spend a fortune Amazon.com and Ebay both sell boxes of 10 Pair Long Black Professional False Eyelashes in Romantic Black for less than £5/$4 . These lashes are great quality for their price, disposable and wear very well.

One of the absolute best liquid eyeliners (even though its cheap) is Rimmel Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Eyeliner Pitch Black as this glides on beautifully, stays on all day and is a deep black pigment that is grayish in any way.  Barry M Intense Eyeliner Pen in Black gets Glam Angel top marks for a pencil eyeliner and for gel liner MAC Fluidline Eye Liner Gel in Blacktrack is a winner as despite its price tag, its unbeatable in staying power and depth of colour -not to mention it glides on wonderfully !!

Now you have your basic eyes only kit take a look at our collection of eye look inspirations!! Oh and as always we've popped in a tutorial by MakeUpGeek (on of our fav's) on how to create an intense but wonderfully gorgeous Arabic Eye. Enjoy!! <3
