It is mostly used by [[female]]s, and by [[Theatre|stage]] performers of all types. Eye makeup is an important part of the [[fashion]] and cosmetic industries. The idea can be taken much further. The colour of the eye can be altered by using [[contact lens]]es. Glitter and other ''appliqués'' can be stuck on near the eye. Fake [[eyelash]]es or eyelash extensions are possible. == Mascara == Mascara is a cosmetic used to darken, colour, thicken, lengthen, or define [[eyelash]]es. Historically, it was (and still is) usually black, but now it also comes in many colours and [[tint]]s. Mascara comes in three forms: [[liquid]], cake, and cream. It is available in tubes with wand applicators. Ingredients in mascara include water, wax thickeners, film-formers, and preservatives. == Eye shadow== [[File:Brown eye shadow palette.jpg|right|thumb|220px|A powder eye shadow palette with brown shades for normal day wear; the two center colors are sparkly while the silver and white shades are for creating shadows and highlights.]] [[File:Victoria Allure at World Modelling 20050405.jpg|right|thumb|220px|
