If you're pouring, the glass is half full. If you're drinking, it's half empty.
Beauty Tip - Tear Liner
Lining the eyes (the tear line in particular) is the best way to make them stand out. Lashes look thicker and you'll definitely enhance the sparkle in your eye. The tear line is that pink line of skin that runs along the edge of your lids. Warning... this tip is not good if you have sensitive eyes or an unsteady hand. I do not take responsibility if you poke yourself in the eye. :-) Step one: Select a pencil or cream liner in dark brown or black. I like this one from Clinique. It even comes with a tiny brush!
Step two: For upper lids, lift your lid and use a stiff brush to push liner into the base of your lashes. Be very careful.
Step three: For the lower lids, gently pull the skin below your lower lid. Gently dab liner on top of the lash line. Blend it so that you can't see the pink rim of your lid.
Step four: Add some lush mascara and you're set to go!

Beauty Tip - Scotch Tape for Eyeliner
I cannot recall for the life of me where I read this tip, but I LOVE it. Symmetry is scientifically proven to be attractive. So it would only make sense to keep your eye makeup as symmetrical as possible. Step one: Get a piece of tape about an inch and half long and stick it to the back of your hand and peel it off again. This will keep it from sticking to your face too much and hurting when you pull it off.
Step two: Line up the tape so that the straight edge goes from the outer corner of your eye to the outer tip of your eyebrow.
Step three: Apply shadow and liner as desired
Step four: Hide from those who may not understand why you have tape stuck to your face. They will laugh.
Step five: Remove the tape carefully
Step six (optional): Use a medium stiff shadow brush and blend the edges until they're softened. If you prefer a more dramatic look, leave it as is.
