Different occasions call for different make-up looks. For example, for work you might choose to do something simple and understated with your make-up, but when it comes to a night out, you might prefer a look that’s a little sexy and smoldering.
Now, as much as we may love buying a million different make-up products, our bank accounts probably don’t feel the same way – which is why we’re about to show you how one simple product can be used to transform your eyes.
And believe it or not, that one product is mascara – Avon Mega Effects Mascara to be specific. You see, it’s all about the way that you apply it that can enhance your different beauty looks. And we’re going to show you just how it can be done.
To start, here’s bh’s Deb, sans make-up.
We’re now going to create three different eye looks on her, providing you with a few quick tips and tricks to show how Avon Mega Effects Mascara can be used in different ways enhance each eye make-up style.
EYE LOOK #1: NATURAL
The key to this look: eyes that appear wide and bright, with lashes that are lengthened and defined, without looking too heavy.
Tips for achieving this look:
• Keep your eyeshadow to a minimum. Pick a light, neutral shade that has a hint of shimmer in it to give your eyes a touch of radiance and colour.
• Use a brown or khaki eyeliner to line your top and bottom lash lines. This will give your eyes just a hint of definition without making them look too dark or prominent.
• Before applying your mascara, curl your lashes upwards as this will help to widen and open up your eyes. Apply just one coat of Avon Mega Effects Mascara to your top lashes. The wand can be adjusted to 12 different angles, so you’ll easily be able to define each lash from corner to corner, achieving fabulous length and definition.
EYE LOOK #2: WINGED
The key to this look: a lash line that sweeps outwards and upwards.
Tips for achieving this look:
• Keep your eyeshadow simple so that the focus remains on the black winged liner. A neutral shade with a slight shimmer to it is a great choice.
• Kohl, gel or liquid liners work best to create a winged line as they’ll glide easily across your lid without tugging on your skin.
• To accentuate the flick you’ve created with your eyeliner, the focus will need to be on the outer corners of your lashes. Use a mini eyelash curler to curl your outer lashes, then apply a couple of coats of Avon Mega Effects Mascara, sweeping the wand out towards the outer corners of your eyes as you apply. The brush is designed to fit the curve of your eye so will capture every lash, enhancing the overall winged effect as your lashes are swept outwards.
EYE LOOK #3: SMOKY
The key to this look: a sultry, smoldering finish that has depth and dimension.
Tips for achieving this look:
• Sweep a neutral shadow across your entire lid, before blending a dark brown shade around your eye socket to add dimension.
• Line your top and bottom lashes and water lines with a black kohl eyeliner.
Tip: if you have small eyes, line your waterline with a white pencil instead as this will help open up our eyes.
• Increasing your lash length, definition and volume will help give your smoky eye look extra depth. Curl your lashes to give them lift and curve before applying three coats of the Avon Mega Effects Mascara to your top lashes. The clump-free formula will leave your lashes looking strong and voluminous without clumping together. Finish with one coat of mascara to your bottom lashes.
See? Just one mascara can be used to enhance different eye looks – you just need to know how to use it.
