How do I know which way to apply eye-liner works best for me?

Applying eye-liner can be tricky, it depends on your eye shape. There are different eye shapes like almond, round, hooded and monolid.

With an almond eye, you can wear any type of eyeliner—thin or thick.

For a monolid eye, you can apply a thick line so that when your eyes are open it will show a perfect eyeliner shape.

For a round eye, you can elongate it by making a wing at the edge of your eye.

For a hooded eye, keep the eyeliner in the inner corner of the eye thinner and outer corner thicker, this will extend the eyeliner past your eye shape.

Wedding wardrobe fix

I have to attend two weddings in the next month and don’t have the budget to buy clothes for all the different functions. Which affordable rentals could I look at?

Weddings can be expensive, especially if you don’t wear your ethnic outfits very often.
