Instructions

1. Brush your eyebrows upwards and slightly outward with an eyebrow brush to give them nice shape. Pluck any stray hairs with tweezers.

2. Dab foundation makeup on your eyelids with a cosmetic sponge. Do not get makeup in your eyes. If you like, use a mineral powder foundation on your eyes.

3. Squeeze a small amount of eye primer onto the tip of your finger. Rub the eye primer over your entire eyelid from under the brow bone to lash line.

4. Brush a light rose-colored eye shadow under the brow bone of your eyelid using an eye shadow brush.

5. Brush your eye shadow brush across the silver eye shadow powder, and sweep the brush's bristles across the entire bottom eyelid.

6. Brush silver eye shadow around the inner eye, above and below the eye.

7. Draw on silver eye shadow, if using a pen, on the lower portion of the eyelid.

8. Dab liquid silver eye shadow on your fingertip. Rub your fingertip gently across the bottom eyelid. Allow the liquid eye shadow to set for one minute before proceeding.

9. Apply black eyeliner to the top of your eyelashes. Draw from the inner corner of the eye to the outer edge. Draw eyeliner under your eye from the outer corner to the inner corner.

10. Apply black mascara to the top lashes. Apply black mascara to the bottom lashes.
    Allow the mascara to dry and apply a second coat for extra eyelash length.
