Step 1: Apply Eyeshadow Primer

Applying an eyeshadow primer on your lids will help you start with a clean and fresh base. If you want to make sure your eye makeup lasts all day, it is essential to prep your lids.

Pro tip: Apply a concealer if you still need an eyeshadow primer. Add some translucent powder, and you have your eye makeup primer.

Step 2: Apply a Nude Base

Apply a neutral eyeshadow using a fluffy blending brush. Complements your skin tone. Blend it thoroughly. Before applying the product to the eye, tap off some excess product. This will help you get the most out of your colors.

Step 3: Improve The Crease

Use a blending brush to apply a medium-brown eyeshadow to your crease. Add color to the lower lash line and blend it well, particularly towards the outer corners. Pro tip: Use a darker eyeshadow to contour your eyes in the crease.

Step 4: Add Color

Apply dark burgundy shadow, concentrating the color on the outer corners. To create a smokey look, gently extend the eyeshadow past your crease. The same color can be used on the lower lash line. The best way to blend the shadow and smoke out the color is with a fluffy brush.

Step 5: Create A Gradient

Use the same nude eyeshadow you used for the second step on your lids. Use the nude eyeshadow to soften the edges of the burgundy shadow.

Pro tip: Use a nude eyeshadow to create a blended, clean look.

Step 6: Define your lower lashline

Apply brown kohl along your waterline. To achieve the smokey look, smudge in the kohl.

Step 7: Enhance Your Eyelashes

Add a pair or two of false eyelashes for a glamorous look. To balance your top and bottom lashes, apply a thick coat of mascara to the lower lashes.

Bring out the other cosmetics and finish your makeup. Add some bronzer, lip color, and highlighter to the base.

Final Look

You can do it yourself! Stunning, right? This easy eyeshadow application method works for many different looks, including a bold and fun look, a glittery party look, or a muted everyday look. Only your eye shape and eyebrow height determine whether you apply light or dark shadows. The color of your eye and your skin tone is also important.
