Jan Ping doesn’t keep her tips on how to apply eye makeup a secret. But she knows a thing or two about The Secret.

Jan is an Emmy Award Winning celebrity makeup artist with a hefty list of celebrity clients – most of whom she doesn’t mention. But what we did find out is that she was the lead makeup artist on set for the filming of The Secret.

But even more important than that, we have a preference at True Hollywood Makeup for a certain kind of makeup artist. And that is the kind of person who gives of themselves when others need it most. Generosity and kindness are the real virtues of true beauty. Not perfect skin and nails.

Jan is a volunteer for Look Good, Feel Better – a non profit service organization that provides cancer patients the opportunity to have fun getting beauty training from celebrity beauty experts.

Jan’s heart is clearly as big as her skill set and list of celebrity clients!

Here are a few tips from Jan about how to master your eye makeup.

Make false lashes stay put: When applying false eyelashes (individuals or strip), she suggests allowing the glue to dry for 30 seconds prior to applying to your lash line. This prevents the lashes from slipping out of place.

Under eye concealer gets applied last: Before doing eyes, apply foundation completely over face and eyelids, then powder to set. After applying eye makeup, clean up any fallen residue under eye with a q-tip. Then apply moisturizer and concealer.

White eye pencil brightens eyes: With a freshly sharpened white eye pencil, color along the inner lash line. This is particularly helpful for those of you with smaller eyes. It makes them appear larger and more open.
