1. Prep your eyebrows
Brush your brow hair upwards to create more space underneath your brows.
Fill in the bottom portion of your brows as needed to maintain balance.
Clean up underneath your brows using concealer for an even skin tone.
Lightly set the concealer with a translucent loose powder.
2. Apply eyeshadow
Start by identifying the natural crease line on your lid.
Apply eyeshadow up to the crease, using a deeper brown shade in the outer half and a lighter shimmer shade in the inner half.
Note the extra skin (hood) covering your lid, making the eyeshadows less visible.
Use a trick with your eyeshadow palette: mark a point above your natural crease line, then lift your brows and fill in the gap underneath with a brown eyeshadow.
Soften the edges using a blending brush and blend until the eyeshadow seamlessly integrates with your skin tone.
Use a larger blending brush to push the eyeshadow upward and outward in the outer corner for an elongated eye look.
Highlight the inner half of your lid with a lighter shimmer shade to attract more light and make your eyes appear bigger and brighter.
Smoke out your lower lash line with the same brown eyeshadow.
Then, highlight the inner corner and brow bones with a lighter ivory shade.
3. Tightline and mascara
Tightline the outer half of your lower waterline with a nude eye pencil.
Curl your lashes and apply mascara to your top and bottom lashes for length and volume to enhance your lashes.
Admire the transformation: your eyeshadow is now clearly visible, doubling up the lid space.
