Eye makeup is something many women too often skip, but using even a small amount will make you look healthier, more interesting, and more attractive.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Eye shadow
  • Small makeup brush
  • Eyeliner
  • Mascara
  1. Step 1

    Apply eye shadow first. If you're using the creme kind, then wait for your eyelids to dry before continuing.

  2. Step 2

    If you're using the powdered form of eye shadow, clean your brush off on a bathcloth or tissue and then run it over your eyelids again to pick up any loose powder.

  3. Step 3

    Apply eyeliner. You can line your entire eye, only the upper lid, or the outside corner of the upper lid. If using liquid eyeliner, wait for it to dry before continuing.

  4. Step 4

    If you're using dark eyeliner and have accidentally applied it too thickly, you can dust it with a light colored eye shadow to tone it down.

  5. Step 5

    Apply mascara to top and bottom lashes.

  6. Step 6

    Comb lashes when dry and then check the overall look to make sure you haven't missed any spots or smeared your lovely work.
