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
