There is an old saying that goes, “The eyes are the windows to the soul.” You may or may not believe it to be true, but there is no disputing the fact that your eyes are one of the first things that others notice about you. If you need any corroboration of the fact, then just think about all the poems and songs that you have heard about a beautiful pair of eyes. Making sure that your eye make up is perfect is one way to draw attention to one of your best features and captivate someone when you meet them for the first time.

For the lower lashes, just repeat the same process, only using less mascara. Avoid second coats here, because you do not want your eyes to end up looking clumsy. If you are looking for the perfect mascara brand, I recommend Maybelline.
So that about sums it up for me, ladies. How about you? How do you do your eye make up for a night on the town? Do you have any secrets? If you do, dish!
