• First of all, you need to put a fairly light tone on the upper eyelid. For these purposes, choose pastel shades - light beige, milky, pinkish or yellowish. Pay attention to your natural skin color: the shadows should be just a couple of tones lighter, it is not necessary that they contrast strongly or completely merge. Apply the tone should be exclusively on the protruding part of the upper eyelid, covering the orbit.
• Then you should take the shade a couple of tones darker than your own skin tone. They are applied around the protruding part of the century from the middle. The color should depend on the shade of your eyes, although most often choose options in a brownish or olive palette: gray-eyed go warm shades, and girls with green and brown eyes should choose cold options. It is especially dense to apply dark shadows on the outside of the eye, and movements in this direction can be wider. Make sure that you have thickened the shadows on all sides.
• Next, you should make up the area under the eyebrows with white shadows in order to further highlight them. For these purposes, within the framework of the day makeup option, matte shades are more often taken. After applying the tone should also be carefully shaded.

• The same white shadows need to make up the interior corner. So the look will be visually more wide-open and open.
• Now it’s worth taking a liner, pencil or eyeliner in dark brown or black. Almost any shooters are suitable for slanting eyes, but in everyday make-up they should not be too bright and challenging. Start to hold the thin arrow slightly away from the inner corner and gradually thicken it towards the outer. You can slightly extend the arrow and draw it in an arc.
• The final stage of the daily makeup - applying mascara. It is better to take the usual black mascara, as well as a brush with the effect of curling and separating the eyelashes. Apply the mascara evenly on the upper and lower lashes, especially carefully painting their tips. When applied to the upper eyelashes, lightly press the brush from the middle to fix the eyelashes in a raised position.

Consider how to do this makeup for the evening.

• Superficial eyelashes or extended eyelashes look very good - with them the look will be even more expressive and attractive. If you want to increase the volume of your natural eyelashes, all these procedures need to be done before applying makeup.
• Start with a light tone, which should cover the protruding part of the upper eyelid. Smokey ice is usually made in cold colors, so whitish, light gray or bluish shades are better suited. Moreover, if you have gray eyes, you should look for a similar palette in warm colors.
• Take the dark gray shadows and circle them over the protruding part of the upper eyelid along the contours, making the line wider to the outer corner of the eye. Blend dark shadows in such a way that they cover the outer half of the eyelid, and towards the middle they gradually disappear and merge with a light tone.
• Feather from the outer corner of the eye to the outer tip of the eyebrow: dark shadows should gently draw this line.
• Put light accents: white shadows should be done right under the eyebrow from the middle to the outer tip. This will create a contrast with the dark shadows, and also allow you to especially highlight the eyebrows, give them a clearer contours and visually lift them slightly. And also apply white shadows near the inner corner of the eye. If you want to shine especially at an evening event, choose the shadows with a slight sheen.

• Now it is necessary to do the arrows. For this type of makeup, they are most often carried out with a soft pencil - it lends itself well to shading later on. Start the thin arrow almost from the innermost corner of the eye over the upper eyelid, but make the line thin. Thicken it as you approach the middle of the century - it is in this place that the emphasis should be placed so that the eye appears more open and the look expressive and open. Extend the arrow to the outer corner of the eye and slightly round it so that it bends around the protruding part of the century and merges with the dark shadows on the contours.
• Lightly blend the shadows at the junction with the arrow with the help of the sponge - so you will have a soft transition.
• Now you need to start makeup on the lower eyelid. Draw an arrow in black pencil from the outer corner of the eye to the middle, gradually making the line more thin. Accent the lower eyelid from the bridge of the nose is not worth it.
• Then add some dark shadows to the bottom of the outer corner so that the arrow is not too clear.
• Apply mascara on the eyelashes, twisting them and gently pressing them with a brush to fix curls. For greater effect, you can apply mascara several times in a row, and your evening makeup is ready.
