Applying eyeliner

1. Apply eyeliner

Gently apply a soft eyeliner to your lids, along your upper lash line.

Applying eyeliner

Go as close to your lashes as you possibly can.

Applying eyeliner

Now, apply the same eyeliner to the outer, corner edge of your lower lashes.

Applying eyeliner

Join the upper and lower lines at the outside corner of your eye.

Applying eyeliner

Slightly extend that corner line for a very small wing.

Adding shading

2.  Add shading

Using a small wedge brush, softly apply eyeshadow, in a similar shade to your eyeliner, just going over top of your eyeliner. 


This step will help further define your eyes and set your eyeliner so that it will last all day.

Adding shading

Repeat, adding shade to your lower eyeline.

Applying mascara

3. Apply mascara

To apply your mascara, sweep the mascara wand upwards through your eyelashes, using a zigzag motion from the roots to the tips of your lashes. 


Apply a second coat if desired.

Applying mascara

Repeat on your lower lashes, using a smaller amount of mascara than you did for your upper lashes.
