Windows to your soul
Your eyes are the windows to your soul. Healthy, sparkling eyes are the sign of a well-adjusted, happy, human being.

How does one go about achieving this?
One way is through make-up. You can always emphasize the shape and colour of your eyes with the help of a kohl pencil, eyeliners and eye shadows. But the best way to maintain that inner sparkle is to take care of your health. Avoid long hours and do not overstrain your eyes.

Avoiding eyestrain
One of the most common causes of eyestrain is inadequate lighting while reading or doing housework like sewing. These activities cause a weary, dull feeling that can be avoided by proper lighting.

Another fault is the angle at which you tend to hold a paper or book while reading. People generally tend to hold it too close to their eyes and strain them in the process. The correct method is to hold the book about ten inches away from your face. The same goes for watching television or using the computer.

If none of the above tips seem to help, you should consult an optician. If you do not want to wear glasses you could go in for contact lenses. In any case, spectacles have now become fashionable. If you already wear spectacles, then make sure you get your eyes tested once a year.

When choosing eye glasses, the right kind of frame can add to your overall personality and make you more attractive. Today, spectacles have become a fashion accessory. Some people wear spectacles just so that they can enhance a certain feature. The same goes for contact lenses.

You may ask your optician for advice regarding the style and colour of your spectacle frame to match the shape of your face. He/she may be able to tell you what is in fashion.

Dark circles
Dark circles are often caused due to sleeplessness or disturbed sleep. If you find yourself developing dark circles, you need to catch up on your sleep.

Pluck your brows
Did you know that your eyebrows could make you look younger? If you want to take a few years off your face, simply take an eyebrow pencil and darken your brows, especially the beginning of your brow, next to the bridge of your nose. Make sure you darken it subtly though - no one should be able to tell that you’ve applied eyebrow pencil.

Keep your eyebrows in shape. Neatly plucked brows open up the eyes, and make them look larger and more prominent. They also make your face look cleaner and your features stronger.
