How do I get gorgeous eyes in two seconds flat?

Check these out, too...

Right now, we’re totally into twinkling eyes. “Cool, jewel-toned shades are some of this season’s hottest looks,” says celeb makeup artist Anthony Vesnaver.

Here’s how to get ice-princess eyes at home.

Grab a starry shade. “Bright, luminous colors are great for any eye shape as they open the eye, not close it down like a dark smokey eye would,” he shares. Got dark skin? Go with pale silver or moss green. Medium tones should go for gold or shimmery pink. Fair girls shine in icy lilac or blues.

Start at the bottom. Use a thick eye pencil or a shadow brush to line the lower rid of your eye. The line should start lighter at the inner corner and get darker as you work your way out. Extend out beyond the corner slightly.

Top it off. For nights, apply the same shadow up to your brow bone (keep it more subdued for day). “This look is sophisticated and chic,” Anthony swears. For day, just apply it up to the crease. Your lids will wind up with a glam, watercolor effect. Hint: Use a Q-tip with makeup remover to fix mistakes.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! I have a few questions. 1) how can I do my hair in the morning that will stay in place, and works well on short hair? 2) what do you recommend for makeup that is quick, that works for blue eyes, without looking too dark 3) how do I get myself out of bed in the morning? I set 2 alarms and rarely do I get out of bed when the alarm goes off!

Hey babe, make sure your hair is dry when you sleep on it and blow dry it again in the morning for extra volume. I'd go with a natural makeup look - some mascara, a peachy bronzer or blush and some light pink lip gloss is all ya need. Set an alarm on the other side of your room so that you're forced to get up and turn it off!

got a quick question!! I have really baggy lines under my eyes and like I've asked my sister and mom what I should do and they say to get alot more sleep. So I've been doing that for like a month and i still have lines under my eyes.... should i try concealers? and if so... do u have any to recommend?
Thanks!

Hey girl! You could try concealer. I would reccomend covergirl cover up, you should still try to get more sleep. Also, a hydrating face mask might help out.

mod*mod*mod*mod* ok so this is what i do for makeup right now... i wear black mascara ( i dont curl my eyelashes) and sometimes i wear a little bit of silvery gray colored eyeshadow.... i have light tan skin ( if that makes sense) and blueish gray eyes, my hair is light brown....do you think this is a good look for me? or should i use diff. colors?thx!

Hey girl! Sounds like a good look. If you like it, go for it. Try some copper or bronzy colors too for a pretty natural look. Remember the goal of makeup is not to look like you are wearing a ton of it.

I have combo skin and i wash and cleanse my face in the morning but by lunch my forehead is super duper oilly, what can i do in the morning so my face doesn't oil so quickly?
thanx

Hey girl! Unfortunately we are born with our skin type. Just keep tissues or oil pads handy to wipe your forehead and the oil will go away.

Ok what is an appropriate age to start wearing make-up? I'm turning 13 soon so I want to start out on wearing natural looking make-up. Thanks!

Hey girl! Whenever you feel comfortable is a good time! I'd say anyone younger than a teenager is a little young to wear make-up on a day to day basis. But, it's all about how you feel and whether or not you enjoy wearing it! You could start with a little blush or bronzer, lip gloss, and either light eye-shadow or mascara! Just a suggestion

OK, soo i really like this guy in one of my classes, so I told my friend who I thought I could trust her not to tell ANYONE. Turns out, she told some other friends, and the whole school knows now, including my crush! Now he thinks I'm totally wierd. He used to sit by me in a few classes, but now he sits really far away from me! My locker is right next to his, and if I ask him a question, he's just like "Go Away!" how do I make him see me as a friend again????

Hey babe,

Give him some space so he forgets about the rumor and for everyone else to forget about it too, then you can start over

Hey babe, I would def keep it natural. Some peachy bronzer or blush, mascara and a little light pink lip gloss should be all ya need. Be sure to use a deep conditioner and your hair should be great!

OK, I love expressing myself through clothes and accessories. Thing is, I'm sick of my style. Towards the beginning or middle of 5th grade (i'm in sixth now and at middle school), I started buying Aeropostale tops, and my style was graphic tees, camis and jeans. Now I'm SICK of it, and want to try something new. I'm 5'0 tall and 11. Any ideas as far as a new style for me to try? I'm going shopping on Saturday and just earned some money so I'm planning on buying some new clothes to help create a new style. Thx in advance!
~Cassie

Hey girl! I would suggest buying what looks good and what you like. It doesn't have to be any particular style. Try a punk look, or a girly, feminine look with cute floaty tops. The decision is up to you. And remember, you don't have to just be one style. You can wear lots of different things and create your own.

I'm going to a quincenera and I don't really know what to wear for makeup. There's gonna be dancing and the party is really long. Any recommendations for foundation and makeup that will last really long? Oh, and my dress is a creamy ivory color btw.

Hey girl, go for a pearl eyeshadow and a little brown eyeliner and mascara. Go for a pink or neutral lip color and blush. As for making your make-up last longer? Eye primer for eyeshadow really helps colors stay in place. You can also use primer for your skin too when you apply foundation. Be sure to bring your lipstick or gloss and mascara if you need to reapply too.

Hey girlie,

Just remember one thing when you're changing your make-up. If you want to go a little crazy on your eyes, then tone down your lips, and vice verse.

MOD My skin is fine everywhere except my nose. It looks like skin is pealing and its quite rough. I sometimes get small pimples there and its really annoying.I dont have dry skin or anything? Why is it like this?

Hey babe! If your nose is peel-y try an Oil-free moisturizer. Neutrogena has a lot of great oil-free moisturizing products. Oil-free means it won't cause breakouts, but it will still give your face the moisture it needs.

Okay, I I want make-up. I need something really easy and quick to do. I want to get foudation and maybe cover up and eyehadow. I have brown eyes that change shades (i swear, im not lying! they go from really light brown to suuuper dark brown!!). Do you know anything that works and would look good on me? Also dont want anything that screams "LOOK AT ME" just something natural but noticeable.
Please and thanks!!

Hey girl, try a pearl or gold eyeshadow -- way pretty. Use a bit of mascara, pink blush and lipgloss, and you've got a totes natural look.

MOD MOD MOD! How can I make my eyes look bigger, and my nose smaller?

Hey girlie,

To make your eyes look bigger, use an eyelash curler. It will open your eyes up and really make them pop! Also try lining your eyes in white liner. By putting more emphasis on making your eyes bigger, your nose will automatically look smaller.

Hey girl, that sounds like such a cute idea! Go for something warm and romantic -- maybe a frilly dress with a warm cardigan? As for music, grab your fave love songs. I'm more of an indie-pop person myself, but I always loved the Beatles for cute love tunes. They're classy and timeless just like your date will be. Good luck, girl, and have fun!

***MOD**** hey, do u know whether mascara damages eyelashes or makes them fall out? i'm pretty sure this isn't true but my mom is convinced it is and she won't let me wear it because of that. thanks for answering our questions

Hey babe! Mascara has been tested, so it is safe to wear. If you don't remove the mascara before going to bed, it's likely to thin your eye-lashes. You won't lose them ALL, but you could lose quite a few! If you wear mascara, remember to also use remover!

Hey! That can be so annoying when teachers tease like that! It's clear you guys have a mutual attraction and are into each other! Keep chatting with him and maybe you could drop him a hint that you like him as more than a friend!

I am wearing a green halter that has like wavy lines on it with white and green and underarmor from cheerleading to go under it.(It was for a dance recital)I have light wash destroyed jeans, and boots my mom has from when she "followed the Grateful Dead."Does this sound good? I was wondering what kind of make-up would look good with this. My eyes are hazel, and I have light skin.

so I'm going to homecoming and I like this guy, but my friends have asked him to take me to HC. The problem is he told them that he doesn't like me, and so my friend asked him to take me as a friend. He said maybe if he doesn't ask this girl he likes / she says no. I don't want to be a "backup date" but I'd still love to go if he asks me :/ what do I do? I really like him... And what are some rly cute ideas for HC makeup / hair?

Talk to him directly. Talking to him through your friends is a no-no. And if he really doesn't wanna go, then so be it. You can't change who he likes! And check out some of GL's features, like: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/10/08/homecoming-hairstyles.aspx Best, Miliana
