STEPS
I have done the eye makeup before I did the face. In this way you can easily remove any fallout or correct any harsh lines.
1.
Prime your upper & lower lid with a matte primer. I have
used Eden, a matte yellowish primer which also helps to neutralize any
redness on the eyelids. Primer is important if you want your eyemakeup to last
and colors to be vibrant.
2.
Take a brown matte color, which is similar to your skin
color [If you do not have this color, just use your powder foundation lightly].
Pat this color onto your whole upper lid. I have used Naked.
3.
Take a shimmery pinkish-brown color and apply it onto the
upper lid leaving the crease are bare. I have used Sidecar.
4.
Take a shimmery dark brown color with pink undertone (Hustle)
and apply it in the outer V of your upper eye lid just like the picture. Blend
well.
[See the fallout under my eyes? That's why if you are doing any heavy eye makeup, it's better to keep the face makeup for last!]
5.
Take a matte brown shadow, 2 shades darker than your skin
and blend with the Hustle. I have used Buck.
6.
For more depth of the outer area, I have defined it with Creep.
You can use a black eyeshadow and apply it like a V on the outer corner, just
above the Hustle.
7.
Blend the colors well....so that there won't be any harsh line.
8.
Take a light shimmery cream/white shadow to brighten your
inner eye area. I have used Virgin and applied it on the inner eye area along
with inner 1/3 rd of the lower eye.
9.
Take a white [or Cream] colored eyeliner and apply it on the lower lid. I used jumbo pencil in Milk.
10.
Apply your gel liner with a flick on the outer corner a.k.a. the Cat eye liner. Curl your lashes and apply mascara on the upper lashes.
11.
Apply the light shimmery shadow (Virgin) under the
high arch of your brows.
12.
Fill in your brows with a matte dark brown eyeshadow and set the brow with a clear brow gel.
13.
Add some mascara on the lower lashes too.
14.
You can use false lashes to make the eyes more dramatic. I
have used a pair of thick false lashes and thickened the liner with a liquid eye liner for a bolder look.
15.
Wipe any fallout of the eyeshadows, do your face makeup and
you are ready to go!
