Before you begin
Before applying any makeup, cleanse and moisturize your face. Then, to the eye area, apply eye
primer over the eyelid and up to the brow area. Don’t forget to apply eye primer under the lower eyelashes too for longer lasting eye makeup that resists smudging.
Step #1 - Below the brow
Step #2 - Eye Crease
-
Eye Shadow Color choices: Grays, light browns, plums, violets.
-
Area: Sweep color along the crease of the eyes.
-
Procedure: Using an eye crease brush, load the brush with a favored medium-tone eyeshadow; wipe any excess powder from the brush with a tissue to soften the color before application; and then apply your color to the crease of the eyes.
-
Finish with a slight upward stroke at the end, not downward; this will give a lift to the eyes.
Step #3 - Eye Lid
Tip: If your eyes are droopy or hooded, only apply this color from the outer edge of the lid, inward to the center of the eye, or pupil area.
Step#4 - Eyeliner
Color choices: Steel blue, black, dark brown. 
Step 5 - Eyelashes
Curl your lashes before applying black or dark brown mascara.
Smudging Mascara Problem
For problems with mascara smudging below the lower lashes, dust below the lashes with a little mineral powder foundation or transparent loose powder. The powder will help absorb excess oil that is likely the cause of the problem. Waterproof mascara is
recommended addition to the powder for best results.
