1. Start with a clean face. Dab foundation on your eyelids and underneath the eye. Let it dry. Dust a little face powder over eyelids to prime the eyelid. Be careful not to apply too much powder to underneath the eye which can accentuate fine lines.
2. Start with your lightest eye-shadow color. I use a golden brown. Using your fingertip or an eye-shadow brush sweep all over lid from lash to brow. Place a tissue underneath eye to catch the eye-shadow dust.
3. Take your second lightest color and apply from the crease to lash line. I like to use my fingertips and blend upwards. I use a dark green color to compliment my green eyes, but you should use the color scheme that fits your eye color the best.
4. Apply your third color, the darkest eyeshadow along the crease in an arch. This should be a done with a brush and "draw" a line across your natural crease. When you get to the outer corner of your eye "draw" a line down the corner lash line. Repeat. Now using your fingertip blend everything together by lightly dabbing from lash line to eyebrow. I use a plum color for my effect color.
5. Take your black eyeliner and make sure it is sharpened. Start at the inner lash line and work out. I use a thin line towards the inside of the eye and it becomes a little thicker towards the outer eye lash line.
Dab the eyeliner on the bottom lashes. Make the upper line connect with the bottom line with a small dot at the corner of your eyes. Take your finger and blend well. Apply your darkest color eyeshadow on a q-tip and dot over your eyeliner.
6. Using your lash curler, curl your lashes 2 times each. Hold the curler for a few seconds for the maximum benefit. Apply mascara. Repeat before the mascara has a chance to dry.
