Tips to Remove Dark Circle Under Eyes


Dark circles under eyes immediately start disappearing turning them into shining bright eyes as the eyebrows get raised naturally and lift the eyelids further up and lock them there.
The skin under the eye is thinner than the rest of the skin around. Hence the veins under it give it a blue tinge appearing as dark circles there.

- Also the skin under the eye is affected more by the sun tanning.
- Rubbing or scratching the eye darkens the skin under the eyes as well.
- Medications causing the blood vessels to dilate also pronounce these dark patches.
- Lack of nutrition discolors this area too.
- Lack of sleep or excessive fatigue turns skin pale and shows these dark patches more.
- Pregnancy and menstruation also accentuate the dark under eye circles.
- Age sags the skin, drooping the eyelids and generating bags over there. The dark circles start showing even more than before.
But the way we have been going through our previous posts not only lifts-up the drooping eyelids, removes the excess eyelid skin along with the excess fat-tissue, removes dark circles under eyes, and turns back the eyelids that have gone turned-in or turned-out; but also gets a total facelift for you without going for an anti aging eye cream or an anti wrinkle eye cream, or any surgical procedure.
Just open your eyes FULL in their TOTAL WIDTH by putting a slight smile on your lips, and you will have got the two bright eyes on your face!
And then this only is the right way you should always open your eyes in while you are awake.
If you are really interested in and really curious about whatever you are looking at, it automatically happens so.
We do need looking into this interest and curiosity thing further in its depth and we’ll certainly come out with many more pearls of biological wisdom from there.

How to Remove a Broken Contact Lens


In earlier times, contact lenses were made from glass and generally came in the size of your entire eyeball. Should one of these lenses break in your eye, it could prove a serious hazard. Today, however, modern contacts are made from better material. Modern hard contacts are difficult to break or crack: if struck in the eye with enough force to break the lens, the strike itself would be much more of a concern. Modern soft contact lenses can tear, but rarely cause damage to the eye.

Instructions
Locating and Removing Broken Contact Lens with Assistance

1. Check for the contact lens. Ask someone to assist you. Looking down toward your nose, lift the upper lid as far as comfortably possible.
2. Instruct your assistant to look under the upper lid for the lens. Locate the lens.
3. Retrieve the lens. Keeping your gaze downward, begin rubbing the exterior of your eyelid. Use an outward motion over the eyelid, from the nasal side out towards the temple. The contact lens should slide to an area of your eye where you or your assistant can easily retrieve it.

Locating and Removing Broken Contact Lens by Self

1. Identify the position of the broken lens on the eyeball. Stand in front of a mirror. Open your eye as wide as possible and continually move the eyeball in wide circular motions until the lens is visible.
2. Add saline eye drops to the eye. This will add flexibility in removal of the lens.
3. Grasp the lens with your thumb and index finger. Pull it away from the eye.

Removing Hidden Broken Contact Lens

1. Get a small glass, such as a shot glass. Fill it with warm saline eye solution or, if necessary, slightly-salted purified water.
2. Standing, lean forward over a sink. Hold the glass of solution over your eye. Cup your eye tightly, forming a seal. Ensuring the glass is over the eye and the eye is open, completely bathe the eye with the solution.
3. While flooding the eye, move your eyeball around in wide circular motions. The broken lens should be loosened by the solution-bath, falling out eventually. Repeat the process as necessary.

Tips & Warnings

- Once the broken contact lens is successfully removed, barring no significant damage, your eye will feel immediately relief. When a contact lens is broken or lost in the eye, most of the time it is folded under your upper eyelid. Some contact lenses tear, or "break" easier than others. The water content of the lens, the material from which it's made, and its thickness, are all factors that contribute to the breaking of a contact lens. The primary factor for tearing or "breaking" a contact lens is dryness. Keeping your eyes and your contact lenses moist and hydrated will reduce the chances of them tearing. If several attempts at locating and removing the broken contact lens prove unsuccessful, be comforted that the eyeball will naturally flush it out in time. Both the upper and lower eyelid are connected the eyeball itself. This means that a contact lens cannot hide in the lower eyelid and, though it can and does often conceal itself in the upper eyelid, the lens cannot go far there either.

- Do not panic about a lost contact lens in your eye. A contact lens under the eyelid is not painful and does not cause any damage. Additionally, most contact lenses today are soft, or not made from glass. Therefore even a broken lens will not likely cause damage to the eye. Do not go to sleep with a broken lens in the eye. The eyeball dries out at night (since blinking is infrequent). Consequently, if you rub the eye while asleep, the broken lens can scratch the eyeball. Never use fingernails to remove or handle a contact lens. Do not put a torn or broken contact lens back into your eye once it has been removed.

How To Get Smoky Eyes

Smoky eyes have been a popular style for quite awhile now and this trend doesn’t look like it will fade anytime soon. Proper blending is the key to getting the best smoky eye look. You should blend the colors of your makeup flawlessly. Rich dark colors should be paired with light base colors. Individuals have used good mixes such as a soft gold base with deep purple on top, a champagne base with bright blue on top and a peach base with green hue on top. All you need is five minutes and the following step by step instructions to get the perfect smoky eyes and achieve the popular look. First you will need to make sure you have the right cosmetic products on hand.

The Supplies You Need
Eye primer is something you should have. It as great product to help keep your shadow in place, but you don’t have to have this product. You will need a light and dark color of shadow. Eyeliner, makeup brushes and mascara are other things you will need. You are ready to apply your makeup and get the perfect smoky eye look once you have the necessary supplies.

Tips To Get Smoky Eyes
-Preparing your eyelids is the first step. The best way to avoid the eye shadow melting into your eyelid crease during the day is to keep your eyelids oil free. An eye shadow base to start with can help this. Before you apply the shadow or an eye primer you can consider applying a bit of ‘paint’ on the lids.

-Apply your eyeliner next. Black, brown or gray for the smoky eye are the typical colors, unless you want to try another type of color. Apply whatever color matches the look you are trying for and place it above the upper lash line, with the line being thicker in the middle of the eye. You should try an eyeliner in the color of purple, blue or deep green with violet being an excellent choice if you want a jewel-toned eye.

-Having blended color on the bottom lashes is the key to a smoky eye look. You will want a lighter colored eyeliner for this and you want to ‘smudge it’. You can choose to apply a little bit of shadow for the full smudge effect.

-You will want to apply a light base color next. Finding the perfect pair between a light base and dark hut is the key to gaining the perfect look. It is a good idea to use a nice cream shade as your base. You should sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your brow bone. To help it stay on your eyes the moist consistency of the ‘mousse’ will help.

-Blend in the darker color next but make sure you keep it below the crease. You want a darker shade for the ye shadow. Blend up using an eye shadow brush to blend the colors together starting at the lash line. The eye liner should disappear at the lash line because of the color blend. You should stop the deep color at the crease. Double check your work and use a q-tip as needed to match and blend the colors. To finish use several coats of volumizing mascara.

Remember it is best to avoid strong makeup on your lips when going for the smoky eye look. You should have strong makeup on both your lips and eyes at the same time. It may be a good idea to try a deep purple or a golden brown rather than the standard dark brown and black since jewel-toned smoky eyes are the most popular.
