Tools and materials:
- Spoolie

- Concealer
- Assorted makeup brushes

- Black eyeshadow
- Nude eyeliner pencil
- Eyelash curler

1. Tame and fill your brows
Brush the hairs downward with a spoolie and use a fine-tipped brow pencil to fill in sparse areas at the top without overdoing it.
Focus on the center–so don’t elongate or pull down your brows beyond their natural shape.
Then brush the hairs upward and fill in any holes at the bottom of your browline.
A light touch will help avoid weighing down your lid.
2. Maximize the space under your brows
Even out the skin tone between your lid and under your eyebrow with concealer.
Start applying with an angled brush directly under the brow.
Apply more concealer with a round, concealer brush to fluff it onto the eyelid.
3. Mark a higher crease
Starting right at the center, use a brown eye pencil to mark a point above your natural crease line.
When you keep your eye open, you should still be able to see that marking.
Next, mark the corners.
Lightly connect the markings with the pencil, then raise your brows so you can clearly see the marking. Use a brush to soften the line.
Further soften out this line with brown eyeshadow on a blending brush.
4. Apply eyeshadow to your lower lash line
Apply the same brown shadow on a small brush to your lower lash line.
5. Apply a darker brown eyeshadow
Use a darker brown eyeshadow to darken the crease line with a tapered blending brush.
Focus the brush straight on the new crease line, focusing on the outer half, not pointing up or down.
Run this shade on your lower lashes as well with the small brush.
6. Apply a champagne color to your mobile lid
Apply a champagne shade of eyeshadow to your mobile lid to highlight it, bringing it forward.
Soften the transition at the crease line using the leftover brown on the tapered brush, as well as soften the outer edge of the lid.
7. Apply black eyeshadow as eyeliner
Apply black eyeshadow to create eyeliner very close to the lash line, making a small wing in the outer corner.
This will give the illusion of lifting the lash line.
8. Use nude eyeliner on your outer, lower waterline
Line the outer half of your lower waterline with a nude eyeliner pencil. This makes the eyeballs appear bigger.
9. Curl your lashes
Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler.
10. Apply mascara
Apply your favorite mascara to your upper and lower lashes. For a night-time look, you can apply false lashes.
Now you can see, as compared to my left (untouched) eye, that my right eye looks brighter, bigger and more lively:
With just a few, simple steps, you can completely change the shape of your eye and also the mood associated with the look.

Your eye's looked amazing ! I loved how you did them ! But I wonder would you use the same colors in some of the shading & eye shadow if a person like me would want to highlight the green in your eye's ?
