Choose The Right Makeup For Almond Shaped Eyes

Choose The Right Makeup For Almond Shaped Eyes

If you have almond shaped eyes you are very lucky. You have the nicest and easiest eye shape for makeup. This article will give you tips to emphasise them. Almond-shaped eyes are considered to be very balanced so you can experiment with different makeups.

Almond-shaped eyes are known for their angled outer corner and the “barely there” natural crease under the brow bone. Playing up almond-shaped eyes takes a few different shades to create the appearance of contrast and definition. Applying the right makeup to almond-shaped eyes can really play up the eyes and emphasize their natural shape.

Make Up Tips

    * Choose a medium-toned color as a base color.
    * Use a fine, straight-edge eyeshadow brush to apply shadow to the inner corner of the eye at the lash line; work your way to the outside of the eye and up to the crease of the eye. Do not apply eyeshadow above the crease of the eye.
    * Choose a darker shade of eyeshadow (two to four shades darker than the base color).
    * Start at the inner corner and blend the darker shade into the base shade right on the crease of the eye as you move to the outer corner of the eye.
    * Continue blending and slightly pull the brush upwards as you reach the outer corner (think of it as a tail). This will make the almond shape more noticeable.
    * Select a light shade (pale colors work fine).
    * Brush through the eyeshadow on the crease, starting from the inner corner to blend it. Work your way up toward the brow bone. Brush the shadow up to the arch and slowly work your way back toward the outer eyelid crease.

Warnings

Do not use cosmetics that belong to others or share cosmetics. This can spread eye infections and bring bacteria to your eyes. Clean your makeup brushes in boiling water once every three weeks. Replace your eye makeup every two months to avoid bacteria buildup.

Badeschiff, the Floating Swimming Pool in Berlin

The Badeschiff is one of Berlin’s most unusual attraction - a floating public swimming pool in the East Harbour section of the River Spree. The Badeschiff allows citizens to swim in a safe and sanitary environment in their river, at least in a figurative sense. The Spree itself is far too polluted to permit safe bathing.

Since its opening in 2004, it has become a true hot spot in town: deep blue swimming pool, wooden boardwalks, an open-air bar, with a stunning view. Each year between November and March the entire area is covered by a translucent shell and transformed into an enclosed wellness area. The Badeschiff was created by local artist, Susanne Lorenz, as an art project organized by the City Art Project Society of Berlin. The pool was converted from the hull of a vessel measuring eight by thirty-two metres.

This long-term cooperation will help us to jointly access new customer groups", said Ola Källenius, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

"I am especially proud to have AMG as one of our sponsors for the MotoGP Team. I am also very pleased that our joint marketing activities are well under way. In AMG we have found a partner who perfectly reflects our brand values of high performance, motorsport, excitement and our sense of unmistakable style and design", Gabriele del Torchio, President and CEO of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A, added.

Both companies are highly respected in their line of work, so their cooperation sounds like a good idea, as customers have the opportunity to experiment with new ways of achieving that gratifying adrenaline-rush.
