Eyes Wide Open

According to a report on the BBC website today, US teenagers are risking their eye health by trying to copy Lady Gaga's wide eye look with iris altering contact lenses. Teenage copycat fads is not really new ... who else sported Madonna lace gloves? Bros inspired bottle tops on your shoes? Permed hair, Kylie style?

Fortunately, we don't think our readers will be mail ordering the risky lenses any time soon. Instead, here's some more sensible tips on how to get eyes wide open

# Try Eye Brightener for fresher, brighter eyes. Simply run along the lower lashline to make eyes pop.

# Curling your lashes will help open up the eye. Apply your eyelash curlers over your top lashes and gently press 2-3 times. Always, always, always do before you apply your mascara! Try a lengthening Mascara like our Dream Lashes

# For smaller eyes, try lighter shades of eyeshadow, as darker shades will make your eyes appear smaller. And always pick an eyeshadow that suits your eyecolour. More advice on that here

# Banish dark circles, which make eyes appear tired and lacklustre. Try our Out Of The Shadows which contains light diffusers and minimises fine lines

Most importantly look after your eyes - they after all the 'window to the soul' so invest in a good skin care treatment like our Round The Clock Eye Care to protect this delicate skin area.
