Anti-aging eyebrow lifting excercises

Exercise Your Face

Sagging eyebrows and droopy eyelids can make you look older than you are. Women often turn to surgery or injections to restore a more youthful appearance around the eyes. If you are worried about what age and gravity will do to your face, try these anti-aging, eyebrow lifting exercises to tone and strengthen the muscles around eyes.

Eyebrow lifts

1. Place the index and middle fingers of each hand just under each eyebrow, gently resting your palms flat on your face.
2. Use your fingers to exert upward and outward pressure to your brows with your eyes open for 5-10 seconds. Then use the muscles above your eyes to press your brows down against your fingers for another five seconds.
3. Repeat ten times per day.

Looking up

1. Look straight ahead and then look up as far as you can with your eyes, but do not move your head. (Your forehead should wrinkle as you are using the muscles above your eyes around your eyebrows.)
2. Hold the position looking up for 5-10 seconds, then look down for 5-10 seconds.
3. Repeat ten times per day.

Don't worry that this will cause forehead wrinkles; this exercise will actually tighten your forehead area.

How To Prevent Eyeliner From Running

     I have quite a few clients ask me what they can do to prevent this and the answer is that you must create a barrier using makeup. 

     Apply concealer under the eyes and blend it out. The next step is most important - dip a basic cosmetic sponge in a little bit of fine translucent loose power and press it directly over the concealer to set it. Use a clean brush to sweep away the loose powder under the eyes. This should be it as the concealer and powder will not allow the liner to smudge down past the lashes. 

 

There are Six Basic Face Shapes

Find your face shape

Start by pulling your hair back from your face, and with no makeup on, look closely in the mirror. The features for each shape to look for are:

Oval Face Shape	Round Face Shape	Long Face Shape
forehead is wider than the chin prominent cheekbones face gracefully tapers to a narrow oval chin	face is almost as wide as it is long face is widest at the cheeks	forehead, cheekbones and jawline are all about the same width can tend to have a prominent chin has an elongated appearance
Square Face Shape	Heart Face Shape	Diamond Face Shape
forehead, cheekbones and jawline all about the same width squared jawline is the most obvious feature	similar to oval but the chin tapers to a point.	not as common as the other face shapes typically the face is highly angular the forehead is somewhat short the face is widest at the temples

Still not sure? – A simple test

Measure the length of your face with a ruler. (In this case the total length of the face is 8). Divide the total length by 3. (In this case 8 divided by 3 is 2.67 or 2 2/3). Measure the length from the bottom of your nose to the bottom of your chin. (in this case 2 1/3), If the last number (the 2 1/3 number) is larger than the first number (the 2 2/3) than chances are you have a long face. If the last number is less than the first number than chances are you have a round face.  If the last number is equal to the first number than chances are you have an oval

How to make Brown Eyes Pop

To make brown eyes pop, I prefer using bronze and copper eye shadows to give a smoky eye, both on the lids and along the lower lash line. Try a metallic bronze or golden pencil in the inner rims or a shadow with a clean brush will do the trick. This will help lighten and bring out the gold tones in your eyes.


Throw some Visine, a great lash curler like Shu Uemura and mascara into the mix and those blue eyed girls won't have nothin' on you!
