Fabulous Eyes  One of beauty's most fabulous, not to mention unforgettable features, sparkling eyes speak volumes in the looks department. So always treat your number one assets like precious gold. And that means dressing them up in dazzling make up shades, whenever the need to bewitch strikes.
Banish panda eyes the healthy way
Tired puffy eyes are a dead give away when you've been burning the candle at both ends. So to avoid a nasty case of panda eyes, get at least 8 hours sleep every night and don't forget to drink 8 glasses of still bottled water per day to avoid dark circles.
Stop fine lines in their tracks
To prevent ageing and ensure the delicate skin around your eyes stays taut apply an age-defying eye cream above and below the eye area morning and night - this is a must for everyone over 25.
Concealer is the must-have make up essential
The art of perfect make up application begins with a well applied concealer - so consider it the first most important step in banishing dark circles and preparing the skin for a perfectly even base. Gently pat a light reflecting concealer above and below the eye area to disguise those imperfections.
Create colourful eyes in summer
Summer is a time to experiment, so go tropical this season with turquoise eyeliner and mascara. Rim the inner eyelids with eyeliner and smudge to create a sexy smoky effect then set with 2 lashings of coloured mascara (waterproof of course).
Cool eyes and add shimmer with creamy
The perfect addition to your make up kit, refresh summer eyes with a lightweight cream eye-shadow in a sky blue shade that cools as it glides over eye lids leaving a sexy shimmer effect.
Let the good times roll
Forget messing around with brushes, for sizzling make up on the go, roll a shimmer eye shadow (green is the hottest hue this season) over eyelids for a dazzling eye effect - this great tool is also perfect for adding a touch of shimmer to shoulders, cheeks and collarbones.
A touch of stardust will always get you noticed
To refresh tired eyes and give them a gorgeous glistening glow, dust a shimmer golden bronzer over eyelids and cheekbones. To add intensity, highlight the corners of your eyes with a creamy tan eye-shadow.
Go retro with vintage eye make up
Indulge in the latest catwalk love affair and create vintage inspired eyes. Using your fingers smear a metallic taupe waterproof eye colour from its easy to use tube, for a satiny smooth finish not seen since those unforgettable 80's.
Sizzle with sexy see through eye make up
To create a sexy beach eye makeup that won't smudge in the water, apply a waterproof cream to powder eye shadow (a must have make up for modern gals). Keep this look fresh and modern by leaving lashes naked.
Wake up tired eyes with ayurveda
To keep your peepers perky, try this ayurvedic trick: sprinkle cold water 10 times over your eyes (keeping them open) morning and night. One revived hold onto that Zen, with a soothing eye cream.
Play the kitten with lots of kohl
Create that classic sexy kitten-ish effect on the eyes by lining the top and bottom lash lines, to the outer corners, in a classic black kohl pencil. Set this off with a few lashings of curl enhancing mascara.
Glam things up with season with gold
For a seriously glam party look add a touch of bling-bling to your eyes. Line eyes in black pencil and then brush a gold powder eye shadow over the lid up to the brow and under the eyes. This knockout mix of gold and black leaves a striking smoky effect.
