Eye Makeup

Hold a brow pencil straight up against your nose, parallel to the inside corner of your eye. Draw a dot on the brow bone at this point. This is where your eyebrow should begin.

Looking straight ahead, place the pencil parallel to the outside edge of the coloured part (the iris) of your eye. Place a dot where the highest point of the brow line should be. This is the arch of the brow. Use the orbital bone as guide to finding the highest point.

Place the pencil diagonally from the bottom corner of your nose past the outside corner of your eye and draw a dot. This is the end of your brow. Be sure it’s not lower than the beginning of your brow, as this will create a down-turned expression.

Connect the dots into a brow line with light, feather-like strokes of colour, making the brow fuller on the inside corner and thinner as it moves out.

Choose a neutral matte eyeshadow palette

Sweep a light shade over the entire lid and up to the brow

Apply a darker shade in a sideways v on the outer corner of the lid starting from the lash line and extending into the crease

Apply a highlight shade under your brow if desired

Blend well to soften the effect

Using an eyeliner pencil, draw small dots close to the root of the lashes on the eyelid.

Holding the eyeliner on a slant, starting from the inner corner of the eye, connect the dots at the very base of the lash line.

Using a cotton swab, gently blend. Use a little of the darker eyeshadow over the eyeliner to soften the look and help it last longer.

Make sure to avoid applying liner to your waterline

Apply first to the top side of the lashes and then to the underside

Brush the mascara wand lightly across the lower lashes

Avoid waterproof mascara
