It's not rocket science - get to know the parts of your eye :)


Brow Bone/Highlight: A light colour should be applied to this area; a light sparkly colour like MAC's versitile 'Vanilla' pigment, Benefit's highlighter-Miss Popularity, or for a more dramatic look try a light tone of what you wish to put on your lids, or go low-key and use a skintone colour.


Above Crease: The blending area! As your main colour will be on the lid, the colour needs to be blended as it moves it's way upwards towards the brow. You can do this by blending your lid colour upwards, but I suggest using a lighter color than the one used on my lid to help fade the colour upward. You can also use the same colour you chose for the highlight if you wish.


Outer Crease: Your outer crease extends from the inside of your eye right to the end of your eye. I deposit colour in the outer crease, then bring it inward to the middle of the crease -easy peasy! I don't normally darken the entire length of my crease because in my opinion this makes your eyes look smaller!


Inner Lid: A lighter colour is put on the inner lid.


Middle of Lid: A slightly darker colour should go in the middle of the lid. So, for example, Inner lid =Light, middle lid= medium, and outer lid =dark.


Outer Lid: Here as I said above, this is where the darkest lid colour goes. Also can put the same colour you used for crease here to add drama!


Waterline: Please becareful with this area as it is highly sensitive. Liner added here can easily get into the eye and sting! The waterline is called the waterline as it is watery, therefore product does not last long if applied here.


Inner Lower Lash Line: A lighter colour which is similar to the colours used on the lids can be applied to the inner lower lash line - your preference really!


Outer Lower Lash Line: To create smoky eyes, apply a darker colour to the outer lower lash line or go for thicker eyeliner and smudge it around the outer lower lash line.

Simple eh? :)
