START WITH A CLEAN
SLATE
SLATE
Wash your whole
face with a gentle cleanser before you begin, paying particular attention to
any leftover mascara or eyeliner. If you’re having trouble removing residual
eye makeup, try using cold water or regular lotion on a cotton swab. If you
have dry skin around your eyes or suffer from eczema, rub a little moisturizer
underneath your eyes, as well as between the outer corners of your eyes and
your temples. Don’t put moisturizer on your eyelids – this will make them
greasy, and the makeup you apply will run off.

PREP YOUR EYES WITH
CONCEALER
CONCEALER
Concealer can be used to cover up under-eye
circles or just the bluish discoloration just under your inner eye. To cover
dark undereye circles, apply three dots of concealer under each eye. Start at
the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest, then under the pupil and the
third on the outer edge. Pat, never rub with your ring finger (this finger
tends to have the softest pad) until the concealer
circles or just the bluish discoloration just under your inner eye. To cover

disappears.
APPLY EYESHADOW
PRIMER TO YOUR LID
PRIMER TO YOUR LID
Eyeshadow primer is the secret to keeping your
shadow in place for hours. If your eyeshadow ends up a greasy pool in your
crease, you should invest in a good eyeshadow primer. Eye base will keep shadow
in place through workouts, torrential rains and even a night’s sleep.

FOLLOW WITH
EYELINER
EYELINER
You can use liquid
liners or an eye pencil, but I prefer to use dark eyeshadows as eyeliners. Wet
a slanted brush, then dip in a dark eyeshadow. Line eyes as close to the upper
lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner.

Follow with liner
on bottom eyes, but only line from the middle of the eye out. Smudge the bottom
line with a Q-tip or your finger. You don’t want a prominent line. For a smokey
eye, use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the
lid. You don’t want a stark line, instead you want to blend it so it’s
“smudge-y.”

APPLY EYESHADOW
It’s great to use a
three-toned shadow and build from lids to brow (see How to apply eyeshadow).
Allowing them to blend into each other like a rainbow is gorgeous, according to
celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal. Start with a light color that almost
matches your lid. Sweep the color across the lid and up to your browbone.
Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on this with a darker
color in the crease. Blend the colors well.

BRIGHTEN YOUR EYES
WITH A HIGHLIGHTER
WITH A HIGHLIGHTER
This step involves
only the inside part of the eye. Putting a bit of your lightest eyeshadow in
the inner corner of your eye will brighten it significantly (this is the makeup
artist’s secret and I use this trick all the time). I usually dab a finger into
my lightest eyeshadow and then I press it into the inner corner of my eye where
the upper lid meets the bottom lid. This totally makes eyes “pop.”

HIGHLIGHT YOUR BROW
Take the same light
eyeshadow and dab it on your browbone, concentrating on your mid-brow outward.
Blend with your finger. I like to use Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Eclat just
below my brow and just above it, but a super light shadow will do you.

CURL LASHES
An eyelash curler
will make even long lashes look more gorgeous. For added effect, you can heat
the curler under a blowdryer for a couple seconds. Test curler before applying
to lashes because you could burn yourself.

APPLY MASCARA
Place the wand of your mascara brush at the
bottom of lashes and wiggle back and forth. Follow with another few sweeps of
the wand. Apply to bottom lashes as well.
