The Eyes Have It!

Anni Wickham

Eye contact is powerful. It is far more impactful than words or a smile.

We look into someone’s eyes to find their real emotions and to find truth. If the lips are smiling, but the eyes aren’t – we believe the eyes. We look for love and understanding by searching the eyes. We believe that eyes can twinkle with mischief or happiness. Equally we feel the sadness carried with tears and sorrowful eyes. We give away our feelings of attraction with enlarged pupils and increased eye contact.

When I am analysing colours, I am watching the face, for both the impact upon the skin tone and the eyes. The aim is to make the eyes stand out and sparkle - to become the focus of the face and the person.

By enhancing the eyes, we are focussing on the most intense and attractive visual expression of ourselves and our emotions.
