Making eyes
Eyes are important to see this beautiful world. Keeping your eyes healthy and safe is a snap, with the right information.
Good nutrition may improve vision and reduce deterioration that occurs as a natural consequence of aging.
Eye Health
If you want your eyes to be attractive, keep yourself healthy.
Vegetables and fruits are good for your eyes. Choose dark leafy greens like spinach or romaine lettuce, lots of bright-coloured citrus fruits, and foods rich in vitamins C and E, beta-carotene and zinc.
Minerals and supplements can make a tremendous impact on eye health. Minerals help the body metabolize vitamins.
Correct positioning of your computer, keyboard and typing copy is essential. Your screen should be positioned about an arm’s length from your eyes and 20 degrees below eye level. Consider foot and wrist rests for added comfort.
Eye Care
Several vitamins for eye health have been identified for their potential of having a therapeutic value for the eyes.
Though beautiful eyes are a blessing, still normal eyes can also be made effective with care, make-up and intellect.
Exposure to sunlight is associated with a higher risk of developing AMD and cataracts. Wear a hat with a brim, and choose sunglasses that provide at least 98 per cent protection from ultraviolet (UV) rays
Ladies understand the importance of the eyes, still they become careless in preserving beauty. Neither they give them proper rest nor nutritious food.
Natural Remedies To Enhance Eyes
Dried leaves and flowers of this plant are added to boiled water, after which the infusion is strained and used to bathe the eyes, to reduce swelling and itchy eyes. People who spend a lot of time working behind a computer, experiencing itchy or burning eyes, will also benefit from this remedy.

After all your hard work this year, it’s time to give yourself a nice Christmas present – beauty treats you deserve! Here’s a list to give you ideas for the holidays:
Christmas Beauty Treat #1: A holly-red lip gloss
Not only it is the best time of the year to shamelessly paint your lips this bright, but wearing a slick, rocking red gloss instantly satisfies your inner diva’s color craving – and gets your long time dare to wear red lips out of the way. Leave the rest of your face neutral with just mascara, and a sweep of blush, and all party eyes will be on you.
Christmas Beauty Treat #2: A lip tune-up
Lush, tasty lips – the gift that keeps on giving. Prep your kisser for that special season smooch by taking your lip regimen up a notch. Scrub your lips down with a soothing, moisturizing minty lip scrub. Large and tiny granules slough off the year’s worries, while essential oils leave your lips, smooth, fragrant and delicious.
Christmas Beauty Treat #3: Eye enhancing eye cream
Hit two birds with one stone when you get your tube of eye cream:
a.) You finally get around to answering the call of twenty something hood and get a head start of those fine lines, sun damage and puffiness.
b.) You’ll have post-party eye relief when you get home that’ll preserve your peepers for the next day’s festivities. Chill your cream in the fridge for a refreshing treat.
Christmas Beauty Treat #4: Bright, red nails
When your nails resemble cherry candies, they provide the finishing touch of succulent party look and even do the flirting for you. Keep them short and semi-squared so you can take them from day to night.
Christmas Beauty Treat #5: An irresistibly iridescent all-over highlighter
Just dust it on your cheekbones, shoulders, cleavage and legs and you’ll be positively radiant when you do the party rounds.
Bonus: you’ll glow in party pictures and you’ll have a tan-enhancer when March rolls around.
Christmas Beauty Treat #6: A sheer, shimmery eye shadow
It’s the best season to up the makeup wattage but a super sparkly shadow with barely there color makes you stand out from a sea of heavy holiday makeup, and makes a great highlighter addition to your eye shadow palette. Sweep it onto lids and under lower lashes, and then apply three coats of black mascara onto curled lashes.
Christmas Beauty Treat #7: An intensive skin-clarifying booster
Great skin is probably the ultimate gift anyone can receive, but the great news is you can give it to yourself without having to bust your bank account for pricey designer store potions.
Pick up a skin cream you can apply onto your face at night, since your skin repairs itself while you sleep and can use the extra help.
The key ingredient is an effective exfoliant like salicylic acid, which helps speed up the surfacing of fresh, new skin while gently removing dead skin cells and relieving clogged pores.
Christmas Beauty Treat #8: A fabulous full body massage – twice in a row
It’s the perfect ending to a long year and darn it, you deserve it! The receptionist may laugh at you but technically, she can’t deny you a double stress-busting whammy. Book your massages on a day when you can turn your phone off and forget everyone but yourself.

Spring brings pretty colors, flirty skirts and warm weather worth enjoying. With nature blooming all around, it’s no wonder that we’re all looking to bust out of this winter gloom. If you’d like a new and exciting change from your traditional beauty routines, check out these hot tips – just in time for spring!
Pinks of any hue will do. Sport pink on your eyelids, cheeks, nails and lips for a deliciously delicate look. No matter what your skin tone or hair color, spring is the time when you can really pull off pink in a big way.
Go daring with green. Especially on the eyes, metallic greens make a great beauty statement. In fact, shades of green have really stolen the limelight this spring. Using a shade that works for you, draw attention to your eyes by playing them up a bit. Don’t be afraid to go dark, but if you do, reme mber – intense eyes should be paired with soft, subtle lips. Use a softer shade or a slick gloss to achieve this result.
White is the new black. When intensifying your eyes with eyeliner, don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors. Browns and navy blues are fine, but don’t forget about the fresh looks you can achieve with white and silver eyeliner. If you aren’t too keen on eyeliner to begin with, apply frosty white and silver shades to your eyelids in a powder or gel form.
Go soft; go sheer; go glossy. To complement the bold and inspiring looks accenting the eyes, choose softer hues for the lips. Simple lip-gloss and Chap Stick products give your lips a tasty and therapeutic treat, but don’t forget about adding some subtle color. Apply traditional lipstick in lighter colors or use liquid lip products for a wet and glossy glow.
Don’t skimp on the color. Especially when dressing up the eyes, be generous with your colo rs. Neutral tones are fine, but have a little fun with brighter and wilder hues. The shades you select should draw attention to your beautiful faces and your gorgeous eyes.
Engage in metallics. In an effort to accentuate your eyes, sparkly metallic colors will truly make a great _expression. Metallic green, steel and other shades will look stunning with your complementing makeup and your sexy wardrobe.
Rock out with longer, more noticeable lashes. Long and sexy eyelashes give your peepers a great lift. Apply a glossy or sparkly topcoat to your lashes after your mascara dries for ultimate sheen and a fabulous “wet” look.
