Mask Makeup: It's All About The Eyes

 Now that two thirds of our faces are covered by wearing masks,  we really need to do a little something with our eyes.  Since no one sees our smile, it is time to learn how to" smize." That's Tara Banks term for smiling with your eyes.  So let's all mask up, and take a little time to make our peepers pop. Here are 23 products that will get the job done.

Mid Nineties Blues & Greens

An eyeshadow palette  in blues and greens is the base of this look. You can achieve the look with Huda Beauty's Sapphire Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette, but the Ace Beaute Oceanic Palette is good, as well. Fenty Beauty Flypencil in the shade " Cuz I'm Black" was used to line the eyes. "It Cosmetics Tightline 3 in one Eyeliner, Primer, Mascara.

Glossy Eyes

 This look begins with Chanel's Ombre Premiere Longwear Powder Eyeshadow in Talpa (its so pretty!) Next comes a waterproof taupe eye pencil. Sephora's  12 Hour Contour Eyeliner in "filtering game." was etched along her lower waterlines. By the way, it is only $7.  To get the glossy look, try Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream all over your lids.  Smooth it out with your fingertip. Finish with a Waterproof Mascara. I use two ~ Too Faced Better Than Sex and MAC Cosmetics Extreme Dimension. 

Chromaluxe Highlighter

Transform any part of your look with Chromaluxe Hi-Lite Cream in Pale Gold 002.  So pretty for face and eyes.
