technique Is too dificult or takes
too much time. Silly-it's easy once
you learn how.
OF course. the best way to have
sparkling eyes Is to be happy and
healthy. to eat the right foods and
have SUFFICIENT sleep. Be sensible
about using your eyes, too. Have
good light to read or sew by. wear
glasses II you need them. wear Cog
giles or sun-glasses to protect your
eyes against wind and glare when
you ski or drive.
Use q rich tissue cream or special
eye cream around the eyes at night
to keep the skin soft, clear and free
from lines. When the eyes are tired.

WEAKNESS. take time out from any
thing you are doing to rest them for
Is minutes with herb packs or COM
presses Of cotton or gauze wrung
out Of warm water to which witch
hazel has been added.
Lashes Look Longer
When the eyes themselves are
clear and bright, look to their
frames. Long. dark. silky lashes
make the eyes look larger. deeper
and more expressive. Even natur-
ally dark lashes are usually thinner
and lighter at the tip. 80 their full
length isn't apparent. Also they
may grow thinner toward the ends
than In the center Of the eyelid.
You can Offset both faults with
mascara. Do not forget that there
are several shades Of this cosmetic:
light and dark brown, dark blue.
black, q shimmery looking blue
violet. The first Of these Is more
natural and should be used In the
daytime. but the colored ones are
quite stunning at night.
To apply mascara, sweep the we'll
moistened brush across the lashes
from the nose outward to cover
them. Brush down. then brush the
lashes up from the base to the tips
so they are completely tinted. Next
take Q clean. dry mascara brush
and go over the lashes again to sep
arate any that are stuck together or
to remove excess mascara. II you're
the type who looks her prettiest
with upcurled lashes, train yours by
brushing up over q pencil or using
an eyelash curler.
Eyes Seem Larger
Another trick that makes the
eyes appear larger and at the same
time deepens the color Of the iris Is
to sweep eye shadow family over
the outer half Of the lids. Blend It
softly beyond the outer corners Of
the eyes. Some women like to out
line the outer half of both the upper
and lower lid to make the eyes seem
larger. This Is . theatrical trick. II
you try It, do 1t only at night. Keep
the pencil eyebrow penciD line
close to the lashes, then soften It
with your tingertips so 1t isn't too
Much Of the subtle fiattery Of eye
shadow depends on finding the
right shade for your eyes. Blue eyes
will seem bluer for hint Of very
light or blue-gray shadow. Gray
eyes tend to reflect even the faintest
hint Of color that is brought near
them. A touch Of soft green shadow
will make them seem greenish, blue
shadow will accent the blue. bronze
will turn your gray eyes hazel.
Learn to apply your shadow with q
brush. This makes It
easier to apply the color deeper
near the lashes and fade 1t on to
toward the outer portions
Of the eyebrows.
