Before we move on to another topic, we'll leave you with one more post on eyes.  If you could find effective treatment products for puffiness, dark circles and crows feet, what would be the next step?  I would say it's finding the right makeup application method and colors for your eyes, your face and your style.  It can be tricky, and can take some trial and error.  If you're in doubt and need another opinion, take advantage of the expertise of makeup artists at your favorite makeup counter.  You know by now that LilSis and I head for the MAC counter, where they have some fabulous MUAs who can help you.  You can even get a free makeup application from the MAC gurus if you make an appointment ahead of time.  I've been at the counter on a Saturday afternoon when a bride has come in – complete with veil and fancy updo – for her wedding MU application.

One person who has definitely found a look that suits her and looks gorgeous is Gala Darling of Icing fame.  I'm not sure that I could get away with aqua eyeliner (definitely not during the workday), but Gala not only makes it work but makes it her unique beautiful style.

Isn't this a stunning photo?  Even if these colors aren't your thing, take a lesson from Gala and just try something new.  It's really easy to get in a rut with your daily face, and you never know if something else works til you try it!

BTW, LilSis, your spies were right.  I'm absolutely preparing a “Hairball Show and Tell”.  I do have my reasons, so stay tuned!
