Difficulty: Moderate Things You'll Need Eyeliner and eye shadow brushes black thin eyeliner pencil dark brown thick eyeliner pencil black, dark gray or brown eye shadow silver metallic eye shadow light yellow or soft beige shimmery highlighting eye shadow black mascara individual false eyelashes (optional) undereye concealer eyelash curler Q-tips Instructions Apply undereye concealer to mask dark circles and redness beneath the eyes. Place three dots of the concealer onto the undereye area with your finger, then blend to cover the entire area. Blend down into your cheekbones to prevent a tell-tale concealer line. Apply some concealer to your upper eyelids as well to even out your skin tone. Shade your brow bone (directly below the eyebrow) using the shimmery highlighter eye shadow. This gives a nice "lift" to the eyebrow area and opens up the eye. Take your eye shadow brush and dip it into the metallic silver shade. Sweep this color over your entire eyelid between your brow bone and lashes. Using the dark brown thick eyeliner pencil, draw a line along the lashline starting from the front corner of your eye and outward toward the outer edge. Moisten a Q-tip and carefully smudge the line for a softer look. Dip your eyeliner brush into the dark eye shadow. Moisten the tip of your brush before you dip to help the shadow adhere to the bristles. Start drawing a thin line onto the upper eyelid as close to your lash line as possible. Start from the inner corner of your eye and go outward toward the outer edge. When you reach the edge, slightly lift the brush up to give your eyes the upward "cat eye" tip. Using the eyeliner brush, draw a thin line of black shadow along your lower eyelid, and again stay as close to the lash line as possible. When you reach the end, connect the line to the tip in step 5. Curl your lashes with the eyelash curler, then apply a few coats of black mascara to lengthen and thicken your lashes. This will give your eyes an extra pop. Optional: Glue two individual pieces of false eyelashes directly onto the lash line at the outer edge of your eyes for a more dramatic, evening look. Tips & Warnings Tip: If you make a mistake, moisten a Q-tip and use it to erase any uneven lines. Warning: When creating the "cat eye" tip, don't draw it longer than a quarter of an inch.
