Things You'll Need:
- Translucent creme eye shadow
- Powdered colored eye shadow
- Liquid eyeliner
- Fine, clear mineral dust (clear)
- Bushy makeup brush
-
Step 1
Apply your foundation as usual. This will keep you from smearing your eye makeup while trying to work around the eye area. Avoid the upper eyelid when applying foundation.
-
Step 2
Apply the creme eye shadow in a thin layer. Otherwise it may "crease" as you wear it.Smooth on the translucent eye cream. You should cover your entire upper lid, all the way to your eyebrow. The creme helps hold the powdered shadows in place. Let the creme set for at least a minute before moving on.
-
Step 3
A look like this loses all of its impact if it is allowed to smear.Apply your eye shadow. Start with the lightest colors as the base, then add accents with darker colors toward the outside edge of the eye. Keep colored shadows on the upper eyelid area, rather than applying them as high as your eyebrow arch.
-
Step 4
Dust your entire eye area with the fine, clear mineral powder. This will help fix the eye shadow in place. Do not press the brush into your eyelids while dusting, or you will blend the eye shadows together more than they should be.
-
Step 5
Apply mascara and liquid eyeliner at your discretion. These makeups should always be applied last. Keep your eyes half-closed until the eyeliner is dry, or you may have to start all over again.
