Instructions

    • 1

      Apply foundation evenly to your entire face before you apply the eye shadow.

    • 2

      Dust a little translucent face powder under your eyes before. If any eye shadow falls, it won't stick and can be easily brushed away.

    • 3

      Use a large makeup brush to apply light-colored eye shadow to your entire eyelid.

    • 4

      Close your eyes. Use a smaller makeup brush to apply the medium shade from the crease of the eyelid to the eyelashes.

    • 5

      Open your eyes so you can see the crease in your eyelid. Use a smaller, angled brush to apply dark eye shadow in the crease. This will add depth to your eyes.

    • 6

      Brush the large makeup brush over a piece of Kleenex to remove the eye shadow. Using the clean brush, lightly blend the edges of the colors so they don't look like three distinct colors.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you have deep-set eyes, stick with lighter shades that will bring your eyes out rather than make them appear deeper.

  • If you have difficulty matching shades, buy eye shadow that has the three colors already coordinated.
