How To Put On Eye Makeup

Okay so I may not be an expert, but I think I am pretty good at doing make up. I have done makeup for friends' weddings, Halloween, and just normal nights out. I went through a period where I made friends with a guy who worked at the Mac store at Buckland and he taught me everything I know. Every time I went in, he did my makeup and told me how to do it. Now, I think I am pretty good! I have stopped using Mac and now I use Benefit, but it still is the same!!!

How To Create a Classic Smoky Eye Effect on Howcast

The first thing you need to know about eye makeup is that you need to buy quality make up, otherwise it will not last all day. You need to have three eye colors ready.

First, apply a eye primer. This will help set the eye shadow stay longer.

Then, apply the highlight color along the brown line and in the inner corner of the eye.

Then, you should take the next lightest color and sweep it along the eye up the the crease.

Then, you take the darkest color and apply it in a "v" shape in the outer corner of your eye. You can also take a small brush and apply the darkest color under the outer corner of your eye.

Next, you take a black eyeshadow and using a pointed brush, line the top of your eye and the bottom corner. Only go about half way on the bottom.

Lastly, apply your favorite mascara and you are done!!
