Want to create a natural youthful look with your eyeshadow during the day. It's very easy. Just remember the old adage: less is more.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Eyeshadow (natural colors for day)
  • Eyeliner
  • Mascara

    How to Create a Day Look with Eyeshadow

  1. Step 1

    Take a very light neutral shade and put it over your entire eyelid. This base should go from your lash to your brow.

  2. Step 2

    Take a slightly darker shade (still neutral) and put it right in the crease of your eye (when you open your eye the shadow should be right in the crease you see). Don't do this too heavy (remember it's day and you want to look natural).

  3. Step 3

    Take a blender brush and blend the two colors together over your lids.

  4. Step 4

    Take your liner and get as close to your lash line on top as you can. Dot the liner along the lash line and then gently fill in the dots.

  5. Step 5

    Use a cotton swab and pick up some of the color you used in your crease and gently put some on your lower lash line. If your eyes are on the smaller side, don't take this all the way across your lower lash line. That will close your eyes.

  6. Step 6

    The last step is putting on the mascara. For daytime use, only use one coat so as to not make your eyes look to glamorous and heavy.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be careful not to keep your eye makeup for more than 3 months. Pay attention to the smell of your mascara. If it has a funny odor, you may want to consider replacing it.
