When applying eye makeup, apply the highlighter color on the underbrow area, a darker shade or color on the orbital bone and outer third of the lid, and the darkest shade or color on the lids. Then, put on some mascara, foundation, blush and lipstick.
Make sure to outline lips in a similar color to the lipstick but not darker.
