The Best Beauty Tips Are from Men

Dark eyes are the way to go.

From Our Friends at Lemondrop

"I do my makeup for me." Right? Well, sometimes. If you are trying to attract a special someone (or lure your guy in more), there is one very clever way to do it, says Lemondrop. Listen up, girls, because this is going to make your beauty routine so much easier.

Basically, Lemondrop says, the trick is to lust up your eyes with dark shadow. Guys like smokey eyes, they say, so much so that they notice nothing else. Aiiiii! To think of all the times I wore my hot new bright pink lipstick, thinking I was sex-on-legs. Sigh.

You're probably curious why guys are so into smokey eyes. It turns out the across the board, women of all ethnicities have more contrast from their face to eyelids, with their eyelids being darker. Guys do not have so great a contrast, so they subconsciously equate that with femininity. They will even pick it out of a crowd.

I guess I'll be ditching my nude eye look for the time being. . . bye-bye, light shadow! Read more about Lemondrop's findings here, plus links to celebrity smokey eyes and how-tos.
