Creating A Daytime Eye

Subtle Daytime Eye Step by Step
Subtle Daytime Eye Step by Step

STEP 1- Highlight your Eyelid

Draw AQUA SHADOW #28E (beige) onto the eyelid and smudge through the crease with your finger or flat firm brush.

STEP 2- Define your Crease

(Warm milk chocolate or something a few shades darker than your own skin tone)

Apply MAT EYE SHADOW#17 through the center of the eye using a tapered domed brush like #16S.

Blend by stretching the color through the crease.

Smudge at the bottom of the lash line with a same brush or angled brush like #9N.

STEP 3- Make it “POP”

To make the look “pop” apply STAR POWDER #946 (pink beige shimmer) to center of the eyelid.

STEP 4-Apply Eyeliner

“Tightline” the upper lash line with AQUA EYES (Black 0L) or any other black eyeliner, by working at the base of the lashes and using small sketching motions as you work across the lash line. For an added lift, extend liner at 45 degree angle from your upper lash line.

STEP 5-Finish with Mascara or Faux Lashes

When applying your mascara (Smoky Lash Black) wiggle your wand at the base of the lash line, then pull upward. Use the tip of the wand to define the inner and outer lashes.

Sultry Evening Eye Step by Step
Sultry Evening Eye Step by Step

STEP 1- Create a base

Using a flat firm brush or finger, apply AQUA CREAM #2 (charcoal grey) from the lash line to crease and smudge at the bottom lash line.

STEP 2- Define your Crease

Blend #164 Eye Shadow (dark rich brown) through crease and under bottom lash line with a smudge brush like #14S.

STEP 3- The Smoke

Using the same round domed brush, apply #4 Eye Shadow (black) or any black shadow in the “packman” of the outer crease.

Smudge ¾ of the way under Eye, using the same brush or an angle brush like #9N.

Soft blend and diffuse #164 and #4 Eye Shadow together, using a fluffy soft brush, like #17S.

STEP 4- Frame your Eye

Line the inner and upper rim of the lash line with EYE KOHL (black).

STEP 5- Liquid Liner - Optional

Using AQUA LINER #13 in a glossy black line your upper lash line creating a wing to lift the eye.

STEP 6- Faux Lashes - Optional

When applying faux lashes let the glue set for a few seconds, so it can become tacky.

Anchor the center of the lash first, and then apply pressure the inner and outer corner, to secure the lash, use the end of a brush and apply pressure to the lash line.
