Who is Mr. Grey?

So ladies, who has been gripped by 50 shades recently?

ME!

I was reluctant to read the trilogy but I was honestly gripped.

Now none of the 3 books are in my lists of favourite books but they made foe a good read.

This isn't a book review but there was quite a few factors I didn't like about the book but this post today is to talk about the rumours of a movie adaptation.

We are going to chat about ... who should play Christian Grey?

Some of the names being thrown around in the media are:

Ryan Gosling

Yes he is panttie-dropping sexy but to me he will always be Noah Calhoun from everybody's favourite chic flick The Notebook.

Ian Somerhalder

The hottie from The Vampire Diaries (and original Lost cast member) certainly has captivating eyes and a jaw you could crack nuts on, but I'm not sold.

Robert Pattinson

No, No and No again.

I just wont be able to stop thinking that all he wants to do is suck Anna's blood and shimmer as runs Grey Enterprises.

Just to be clear, No thanks.

Chris Hemsworth

I am a huge Chris Hemsworth fan but I love him most when he is playing a demi God who has the sexiest torso I've ever seen!

His 'Thor' accent is one of my favourite voices to listen to and I just can;t picture him as sex fiend.

Now if I was casting director my choice for Mr Grey would 100% be:

Matt Bomer

WOW.

Yes ladies, thank me later! 

How amazing would it be to just stare at this fine specimen of a man for a few hours and just oggle?

And for the rest of the cast?

Here are my top pics?

What do you think and who would you pick?

Miracle Eye Growth!

Unfortunately ladies I lure you in with false hope. 

This is not a miracle treatment to make your tinny peepers large and Bambi-like. 

However I do bring you some make-up tips to trick others into thinking your eyes are much larger than they really are.

I have small eyes and find it very difficult to create the perfect smokey eye look or to make my eyes 'pop' that little bit extra.

So once again I've been doing my research to bring you some of my old and new favourite ways to give you that wide-eyed look!

Unlike the lovely Lady GaGa mere mortals like you and I don't have a technical whiz to work their CGI magic and make our eyes bulge (in the most beautiful way of course).

The crease is the limit!

When creating your perfect smokey eye, be it an every day look or a glittering masterpiece glam night out,

 don't take your darkest colour higher than your crease.

By placing your darkest shadow above the crease you lessen the space between your eyelid and your eye brows, this gives the look of a heavier eyebrow and shrinks the appearance of the eye.

Do however use a lighter 'highlight' above the crease and onto the brow bone to create the look of light and higher points on the face.

White Eye liner

This tip is probably the most well known but its one of the easiest and most effective ways to open up your eyes.

Applying a white eye liner to the waterline makes your actually eye balls look larger as you are expanding the area coloured white. 

Kim Kardashian is a fan of this eye popping tip!

Barry M Kohl - white is my favourite!

Highlight your tear ducts

By highlighting your tear ducts your eyes instantly appear further apart.

This is one of my favourite ways to make my eyes look larger. 

Just take your favourite highlighter, powder or liquid, and use your fingertip to apply the product right in the corner of the eye on the tear duct.

My favourite product for this is Vivo Baked Bronzer in Healthy Glow.

Curl your eyelashes

It makes sense!

Move your eyelashes out of the way!

No I'm not suggesting removing your eyelashes but by using an eyelash curler to lift them up wards you are uncovering your beautiful eyes!

Lower the bottom line.

Apply your eye liner or eye shadow slightly below the bottom lash line.

I mean by a minute amount!

I don't know about you but I don't fancy walking around town with eye liner on the top of my cheeks!

Don't go that low.

Literally less than a millimetre away from your water line apply your liner or shadow. This gives the illusion that your lower water line starts lower than it does, therefore wider looking eyes!  

Cat Eye liner

Retro looking feline eye liner from the middle of the lash line widens small eyes as it lifts the line of your eye higher. 

By drawing the line out the line of the eye is elongated.

So there you have some great tips to really widen your eyes and make them stand out!

Let me know any of your top tips or if you make use of any of these!
