Things You'll Need:
- Cosmetic brushes
- Neutral eye shadow
- Eye shadow pencil or liquid eye liner
- Gold eye shadow
- Pale, shimmery highlighter
- Waterproof mascara
-
Step 1
Cover your entire eyelid in a neutral cream or powder eye shadow. This will be the base for the rest of your eye makeup. For best results, use a cosmetic brush rather than your finger.
-
Step 2
Draw a thin line of darker color from the inner corner of your eye all the way to the outside. You can either use a soft pencil or a liquid liner. Unless you have a really steady hand, a liquid liner can look artificial and harsh. It's best to smudge the line a little.
-
Step 3
Apply the same dark color in the crease of your eye with a brush. Blend carefully so there is no obvious demarcation of color.
-
Step 4
Give a little more definition to your eye by applying a touch of gold eye shadow along the lash line and up to the crease of your eye.
-
Step 5
Add extra shimmer by brushing on a pale highlighter to the outside of your eye just below the brow bone. Don't go so heavy that the highlighter reflects the photographer's flash.
-
Step 6
Brush on a coat of mascara. After a few moments of drying, add another coat. Be sure to use a waterproof one that will resist those tears of happiness.
