Gorgeous Eyes and Brows with Cory Walia

Ace make up artist Cory Walia shares his right makeup tricks to gorgeous eyes and brows.

Eyes Wise
Bipasha Basu
  • Almond shaped eyes:
    Use a black eyeliner on the upper eyelid and a kajal pencil to line the inside of the lower eyelid. This gives a beautiful definition to the eyes.

    Lara Dutta
  • Deep set & small eyes
    Always use a thin eyeliner on small or deep set eyes, under the lower lashes. Shimmery textures and light color eye shadows bring out deep set eyes. A white pencil subtly used inside the lower lid opens up the eyes. Dark colors and matte textures make eyes look bigger. Deep-set eyes can be underplayed by using a bit of a dark shade in the inner corner of the eye. For small eyes with thick lashes, apply loads of mascara. You can even glam up in the evening by using stick-on lash extensions. Liquid eyeliner gives a good finish but requires a steady hand.

Shapely Brows
  • Shape Ace:
    Arched eyebrows give attitude and sophistication to a face. The arch can be redefined with an eyebrow filler in brown or brownish black.

  • Trim Edge:
    Sparse eyebrows can be filled with the same type of eyebrow filler in brown or brownish black.

  • Thick Trick:
    Dense eyebrows can be made to look shapelier with the help of plucking and threading. Or use a lighter shade of hair color to lift the color of thick eyebrows.
  • Whether the eyebrows are thin, thick or full, they should always be impeccably shaped and stray-hair free

  • If blessed with shapely eyebrows, then tend to them by constantly brushing with a bit of transparent mascara or gel.
