Fringe Benefits 

 

Before you even think about cutting , consider your hair type because this will make a big difference as to how you should proceed. Is it curly, wavy, bouncy, frizzy, premed or just plain kinky?

Eye Types

Know Your Type

Consider the  landscape of your eye. The  crease is the equator, dividing the  upper and  lower lids ( the lower lid is everything below the crease and above the upper lash line; the  upper  lid extends from crease to brow). The ideal eye ( when open) is made up of one third lower lid, two thirds upper lid. Naturally,  most of us don't have  these proportions, but  we can use shadow to create the illusion that  we do. For example, you can use a highlighter at the  brow area to  make a short upper lid appear taller. But remember : There shouldn't be harsh lines  of demarcation.

Color Codes

 

For truly foolproof eyes, stick with neutral, natural  tones. Not  only do  they promise a chic, subtle eye, they promise a chic, subtle eye, they're easier to blend and come close to being mistake proof . Neutrals don't have to be brown, they can be soft, warm tones such as coffee,  peach and flesh, as well as burgundy.
