2. Eye makeup

Use an eyeshadow brush to apply a blend of shadows of your color choice to your eyelids and up into the orbits a little, stopping before your brown bones.

Applying light eyeshadow under the brow bones

Apply some lighter-toned eyeshadow just under your brow bones for a little shimmer and highlight.

Using a white eyeliner in the lower lash line

Use a white eyeliner pencil to line the bottom inner rim of your eyes. This will brighten up your eyes by making the whites of your eyes look whiter. Make sure you take the liner all the way to your tear duct in your inner eye.

Applying mascara in the car

Apply mascara to your eyelashes, getting as close to your lash line as possible.
