Apply the lightest shade over the entire eyelid.
Apply the medium shade on the lower eyelid.
Apply the darkest shade in the outer corner of the eye to create depth.
Apply eyeliner with short strokes, starting form the center of the eye and working towards the corners.
Mascara finishes your makeup. If you have dark eyes use black, navy, dark brown or clear mascara.
Dark eye shadow can be used as eyeliner as well. Use a very flat brush, wet it and dip it in dark eye shadow. Wriggle the brush into your lash line paying special attention to the space between the lashes and then use the color just above your lash line.
