1. Eye Makeup Tips: Confused about when and where to wear frost eyeshadow?
   
   
   
   Is your frost eyeshadow getting more attention than you? Too much of a frosted texture can overwhelm the eye and truthfully does not help to accentuate the eye if it placed from brow to lash (all over!). To be honest as a makeup artist I cringe when someone asks me to place all of these pretty little frosted eyeshadows on her entire eye area. Texture plays a huge role in accentuating or down playing a certain feature of the eye area. For instance, think of the function of a frost texture?! It has been made to reflect and draw attention to make an area seem more than large than it is. When you use a matte texture the opposite effect happens, the area in which the texture is placed has receded and is not such a focus. When trying to create depth to the eye and really play up your eye shape, here are some great tips:
2. Small Eye and more prominent crease:Just like the beautiful Miss Rachel Bilson a lot of woman have a small eyelid and a larger crease, so my advice is to add a light colored frost eye shadow to the eyelid (not all over the eye), a matte shadow in the crease and a slight amount of a light to medium frost under the brown bone. This tip will open up the eye tremendously! A lot of women with this eye shape benefit from using a white eye pencil right above the lash line blended out and then placing their light frosted eyeshadow over it. When wearing an eyeliner try a liquid or rubbing an angle brush on your eye pencil to get a really thin line so your eyeliner does not hide your eyelid. I just wish that Rachel would have lightened her lid more, I need to have a chat with her makeup artist!
3. More prominent eyelid: Believe me there is nothing wrong with Aishwarya Rai’s eyelids! In fact there is nothing wrong with her at all. She has a great eye shape, but fortunately for her she has more space on her eyelid to play around with than most women. This eye shape is not normally when you want to place a light frosted eyeshadow on the eyelid. Just like Aishwarya’s eye, her eyeliner is the main focus of her eye makeup to play down her more prominent eyelid. This much eyeliner is not good for every woman or definitely not good for the daytime while you’re running around to the grocery store and to pick up your dry cleaning! She has placed her frost texture eyeshadow just above her eyelid into the crease which is nice to highlight the rest of the eye since she has such a dramatic lash line.
   
   Mature Eyes:For more mature women who have a loss of elasticity or simply have noticed that your eyelids are not what they used to be, frost may not be a good choice for you! Frost can draw attention to fine lines and any texture that you may have:( Frost is also known to create a heavy look on the skin, so matte and velvet textures are great for anytime! Raquel Welch and MAC had a great line a couple of years ago which had great eyeshadow choices in all matte and a couple of light frosts to be used directly under the brow not on the entire brow bone. I am 27 and I choose to not wear a lot of frosts, so this is personal preference for women.
   
   
   Frost can be fun and definitely a trend to have frost everywhere! This is just food for thought and may not be for everyone, but great for a true artist or woman who is interested in bringing out her eye shape and not over doing things.
