Steps:
- Divide your eye area into three parts: front, middle, end.
- Apply light cream shadow on the inner corner of the eye, dark cream shadow on the rest of the eyelid.
- Dab on powder shadow colour on top of it. Do it with a brush. The shadow colour will stay longer and it will be easier to blend.
- Continue with second shade for your middle eye, dab on top as well.
- Blend both colours gently between light colours and dark brown.
- Apply the darkest shade lastly.
- For illuminating effect, add on a small amount of dark green shadow colours between second shade and the darkest shade.
- Draw a thick layer of black eyeliner on upper lid. Start small and gradually work your way to the thickness
- Bond the pointy edge of the liner on under eye, but until middle of the eye.
- Use a silver eyeliner to draw at the inner corner of the under eye, and also a little bit on upper lids.
- Complete the look with mascara and don’t forget to groom your eyebrows.
Things you need to remember:
- Once you’ve applied cream shadow as your base, dab on top but not brush on to avoid mistakes.
- You may draw a thicker pair of eyeshadow if you wish to look more chic and glamorous, especially you’re up for night parties or dinner.
- Avoid solid colour separation between light and darker colours. Blend them to illustrate a great fade in effect.
- The darkest colour should start from the middle eyelid, and then spread to the end of your eyes.
- Use clean brushes for hygienic purposes.
