I just got an early copy of Oct. Allure Best of Beauty. Some great tips there. Last year they gave the Best Anti-Aging Eye Treatment to Relastin Eye Silk and this year it won, too! I bought it last year and it totally helps with fine lines BUT it also really helps with makeup application. I put a little on my lids and it makes liner and shadow much smoother...also easier to take off.
Just two cents!

Samantha:

wow great write up, I have been battling eye bags for years and have just recently discovered that I am sensitive to salt. Each morning I wake up with two full suitcases ready to go and packed full of water. Now that I have made this discovery and have the left over leather hanging on my face I figured it was time to do something about it. I have tried all kinds of snake oil solutions and while some made a small difference nothing really dealt with the issues until now. Allure has just announced their Best Of Beauty winners and one of them is Relastin Eye Silk. Relastin Eye Silk has won the award 2 years in a row, which is quite an accomplishment. I started using Relastin Eye Silk about 2 months ago and I am already seeing improvement. I highly recommend everyone try this product. Here is the link to Relastin's Eye Silk, go ahead and read for yourselves. http://www.relastin.com/products/2-Relastin-Eye-Silk?

Great thoughts, thanks for sharing valuable makeup tips. I just came across a makeup school site and found similar useful makeup tips and also they are providing the training in image consultant, fashion stylist, make artist courses through correspondence. I hope this information would be useful.
