Answer 1

First and for most make sure your eyes are what you start with, don't put on anything else, no base or powder or concealer.

Then you should get an eyeshadow base....something creamy!   Take the base and apply all over the lid, including the top by your brow. Then you should put on the back of your hand and smudge it.  You will get your eye shadow brush, which you should have two (a contour brush and a shadier brush) Take the contour brush and add the Black shadow  to your hand, mixing it with the base. Then apply all over the bottom lid. Now its creamy so that good, so made it as dark as you like with the cream. THen take the shad er brush and pick up some black shadow or Gray and  softly brush on to the lip starting from the bottom then slowly up about half way. Leaving your brow lighten so it lifts the eye! Repeat step until you get as dark as you like!

Then you will wipe underneath your eyes because I'm sure some Shadow has fallen and make sure you add concealer. Because if not it make look like you have dark circles, then foundation etc. Eyeline the whole nine yards!

ok, first of all you need to look at what your eye color is, so you can get a color that looks good.

If your eyes are: Blue Try: Brown and rose. Warm shades contrast the coolness of blue eyes, making them stand out. Apply from lashlines to creases and top with black mascara.

If your eyes are: Brown Try: Green and gold. Both shades will pick up the colored flecks found in brown eyes. Choose a slightly shimmery texture, and apply from lashlines to browbones, blending well.

If your eyes are: Green Try: Lavender and mocha. Purple shades contrast your color, making eyes look dramatic; warmer shades of mocha complement green, giving a natural effect. Wear mocha for day, lavender for night, and top both with brown mascara.

If your eyes are: Hazel Try: Deep green and pale yellow. Depending on your mood, choose a shadow shade that matches different flecks in your eyes. For a twist, apply shadow, then line eyes with the same color, using a liner brush dipped in water.

Anyone-Can-Wear-'Em Shades: Charcoal, chocolate, black. (Tip: Since they can look heavy on the lid, use these colors as liners to complement any shadow hue.)

next, look at what shape your eyes are.

Almond-shaped: Literally shaped like an almond with one side more rounded and the other tapering to a point. Cover entire lid, from your lashes to your brow, with light shadow; sweep a medium color on the middle lid; and apply dark shadow on the outer corner of the lid. Then apply mascara generously on upper and lower lashes. Try applying one coat of mascara and a second coat of different mascara for a fuller frame of lashes.

Round: The key to the making up a round eye is to draw them into a more almond-type shape. Apply light color all over the top lid and fill the crease with a darker color. Line both the top and bottom lid and, on the bottom lid, extend the liner out from the eye slightly in an upward motion. Apply mascara heavily on the top lashes and lightly on the bottom. Also, take another brand of mascara and apply to the upper lashes on the outer edge of the eye.

Deep-set: You need to create an optical illusion to bring your eyes more to the surface. Apply a light shade liberally from lash to brow, working in a darker shade on the area just above the crease of your eye. This will create a field of depth. Line both the top and bottom of they eye and smudge with your finger or sponge to soften. Coat your upper and lower lashes with mascara.

Close-set: If you have a slender nose, chances are you have close-set eyes. So, to even up the space, you want to apply makeup color throughout the entire width of your eyelids. Begin by applying the lightest shade at the inner corner of the eye and then blending darker colors up and out toward the outer corner. Line the eye from the middle of the lid to the outer corner on both top and bottom to intensify the effect and blend with your finger or sponge. Apply mascara to outer upper and lower lashes only.

When you apply it, take your main color, and put it on your eyelid, then take a darker shade, and put that in the crease of your eyelid, then take a lighter color, like an off white as your highlighter, apply under your eyebrow, and in the corners of your eye.
