Step 1: Get Prepared

Start with a clean face. It makes a massive difference in cleansing, tone, and moisturizing your skin. To keep your makeup in place all day, apply a primer to your eyes and face. Apply concealer to the area where dark circles are under your eyes, then set it with powder.

You can use a shimmery primer to make your eyes appear larger and more prominent.

Step 2: Create the Crease

Use a fluffy, long-haired blending brush to apply your eyeshadows in the crease. The meeting should be moved from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner. For a smokey effect, blend the colors.

Step 3: Go to the Outer Corners

Use a small blending tool to apply a darker shadow around the outer corners of your eyes. Keep the shadow low enough not to touch the crease of the eye. Use a clean brush to blend out the color and remove any traces.

Step 4: Time for the Inner Corners

You can add depth to the corners to give your look more dimension. Use a pencil to apply the same color to the inner corners. The color should be as dark as your outer corners.

Tip Apply a light matte shadow with a fluffy brush on your brow bone to create a soft highlight. This will blend any lines that are too obvious.

Step 5: Make the Halo

Your highlight eyeshadow is the star of this show! Apply a light, brighter color (glitter, metallic work) to your eyes using a small brush. Make sure it is sandwiched between two dark sections of the eyeshadow. The eyeshadow formula will look better if it’s dampened with a damp brush to prevent any fallout.

Tip Blend the areas where your highlight shadow meets your dark shadow to create a seamless transition.

Step 6: Final touches

Using a small angled brush, you can lightly line your lower and upper lashes with gel eyeliner. For a more dramatic and rich effect, wear a pair of falsies. Make sure to groom your eyebrows. Remember that a well-groomed brow makes any eye makeup look balanced and perfect.

Tip – Applying the same highlight shadow to your inner corners will brighten your eyes and create a wider-awake effect.

This is the final look!
