The Eyes - the window to your soul?

I think you can tell a lot from someone's eyes... you may disagree. 

Think about having a conversation with somebody, what do you look at?  Unless you are a man in which case you may well be looking at the breasts, the likeliness is you're looking into someone's eyes.  

You might be having a total emotional breakdown and covering it up with an oscar-worthy performance to those around you.  However, if anyone takes a minute and looks you straight in the eyes, they'll see it and you'll probably crack.

So, the eyes being such a focal point it is no wonder many of us spend hours making them look their best!



TODAY - I was waiting in the queue at the checkout in Waitrose when I glanced at the woman behind me, she was looking down at her magazine while she waited, giving me the opportunity to examine her beautifully applied liquid eyeliner.  My goodness what a sight!  Liquid eyeliner is one of those mediums we all play around with but many of us never master.  This woman was a master of the art.  
(NB: please do not think of Amy Winehouse's liquid eyeliner disaster!).




Her fresh dewey complexion required little make up anyway but this hint of boldness in her choice of eye make-up spoke a thousand words.  The presison of her application was evidence of I what I can only presume to be a confident personality (and a very steady hand).
As I packed the last of my shopping I glanced up at her taking in her naturally open hazel eyes and though to myself "Thank god for women like you".  My pre-conceived thoughts were confirmed as she engaged in happy up-beat chit chat with the cashier.



CONFIDENT EYES = CONFIDENT PERSON... THE EYES TELL NO LIES
