With eye make-up as a must-have for most women, get the most out of your eye make-up by using blinc products to enhance the shape of your eye. Here are some tips and tricks for some of the most common eye shapes.

Want to extend your round eyes? Give the illusion of an elongated eye by using blinc eyeliner in your color of choice, extending a little bit beyond the corners of your eyelids.

Need help making small eyes look larger? Line your upper and lower lids with a soft color such as blinc’s eyeliner in grey followed by blinc long lash. Finish with blinc’s Fountain of Youthful Color Eyebrow Mousse to help visually enlarge your eyes.

Interested in accentuating wide-set eyes? Emphasize this great eye shape with blinc’s eyeliner in your choice of color by widening the line slightly at the outer corner.  Finish with blinc mascara.

Need to open up hooded eyes? Minimize the eyelid by drawing the attention upwards to your brows using blinc’s Fountain of Youthful Color Eyebrow Mousse to create the most perfect brow line.

Interested in softening prominent eyes? Start with blinc Fountain of Youthful Color Eye Shadow Phase One and apply a medium shade of shadow.  Then, use blinc’s eyeliner in a coordinating color to line your top lids and finish with blinc mascara.

Want to round off almond shaped eyes? Use blinc’s eyeliner in a dark shade such as black or brown until you reach the outer corner of the eye. On the outer corners, use blinc’s eyeliner in grey and create a slightly smoky look.

The blinc Beauty Team just got word that the cast of the hit show Community are all wearing and loving blinc!

The blinc beauty team stumbled across this makeup maven’s desperate post online:

“I swim right after school. . . and I wear mascara everyday because I have really light/thin eyelashes. I usually wear goggles but still my eyes get wet and my mascara runs. I wear waterproof mascara but even that doesn’t work. Does anybody have experience with a certain waterproof mascara that does not run while swimming?”

Not to fret the blinc beauty team is here to help!  All you need is a tube of blinc Mascara! With blinc Mascara tiny water-resistant “tubes” form around your lashes rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, these beauty tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes. Even when swimming with goggles on! Only when YOU are ready for removal, the tubes will effortlessly slide off your lashes into your hand without the use of a harsh makeup remover.
