Eye make-up for day and evening

Eye make-up for day and evening
For the most casual daywear, ditch the liner and sweep on taupe eye shadow with a few coats of dark mascara. To keep makeup on longer, prep the lids with a concealer or primer before applying shadow.

When applying mascara, wiggle the wand back and forth at the lash base. It‘s the mascara near the roots?not the tips?that gives the illusion of length.

Make your eyes pop by sweeping on a dark shadow where the brow bone meets the crease. Matte eye powder has a classic texture that‘s works well on any skin type, so it‘s especially good for beginners.

For a simple look, run a slanted brush (or a Q-tip) over shadow, then apply in a fine line along the upper lash line. Bring out deep-set eyes by applying a light, neutral shadow under the brow bone and at the inner corner of the eye. Line the upper lashes with dark shadow.

When using only one eye shadow, layer it more heavily around the lash line, then softly blend it so that it fades naturally at the crease. No matter what your hair colour, black mascara is flattering. It defines your eyes and makes you appear more wide awake. The perpetually popular smoky eye starts with eyeliner, applied in heavy strokes, then blended.
