After you open your skincare products, you should refrigerate them. If the products are cold, then you will get more of a lifting effect. If it is cold, then it could take 10 minutes to work as opposed to 2 hours.

For the Olive Oil do you use straight from the cooking oil from your kitchen?

About the eye liner, do like the lipstick and stay away from dark colour, it makes small eyes smaller. A great tip I learned is to run a light skin tone-ish eye (I'm fairly pale so white is what I use) liner pencil on the inside of your bottom lenses. Young and mature starlets use this trick all the time.
