Step-By-Step Guide:

1. Prep the lid: Start the look with an eyeshadow primer. Simply apply a light coat of primer across the eye using your fingers. Let it dry before continuing to the next step.
2. Define the Eyes: Line the eyes. This step can be completed using either a pencil or liquid eyeliner. Choose a color that goes well with the shades you are applying.
3. Contour and Highlight: Apply a light eyeshadow color to the brow bone and inner eye corner to highlight the brow and eye.
4. Base Shade: Using an eyeshadow brush, blend a mid-toned eyeshadow color onto the eyelid from the lash line to the crease. Blend edges.
5. Contour Shade: Apply a deeper eyeshadow color to the outer 1/3 of the eyelid in the crease blending as you go and building the color gradually. Apply eyeshadow over the eyeliner. This helps to set it and holds the liner in place for longer.
6. Dramatic: Re-line the lash line with the eyeliner for a more defined and dramatic look if desired.
7. Lash Blast: Finish off the look by applying a few coats of mascara, making them look thick and dark.
