Apply a concealer under your eyes to cover any dark circles. Sakib suggests that you use a darker shade than the typical ivory tones, for a more natural look.


Apply liquid base to the lids - this helps keep the color on your lids longer and also adds a glow.
(This is when you would also apply base to the rest of your face and neck, preferably using a sponge applicator for an even finish)


Apply a liquid eyeliner, a thin line is sufficient. Just go with the natural shape of your eye.
Wet a sponge shadow applicator and cover the entire lid with it. This technique makes it easier for the powder eye shadow to stick to your eye.


Now apply the powder eye shadow to to the entire lid
Use a darker shade of the same color shadow on the corners of the eyes. This makes the eyes look bigger.


Now reapply the eyeliner and smudge the ends for a smoky look
Take a blending brush and blend the colors for a softer look


You can apply a darker shade on the crease of the eye to add more drama and color to your eyes.
Finally, don't forget to finish up with an even coat of mascara on both upper and lowerlids.

HERE'S THE IST! HOW TO PREPARE YOUR FACE FOR MAKE-UP For the best final result, you must meticulously prepare your face for the actual application of the makeup. A.Identify The Structure Of Your Face:This is very important, so that you can understand the high points and the drawbacks of your face.Then you will be able to emphasize the excellent features of your face and camouflage your handicaps.Faces are of 2 basic shapes: 1.Angular Faces are well delineated, with a strong bone structure and musculature.Angular faces could be trapezoidal, rectangular, square or triangular.2.Round Faces, on the other hand, have curved, continuous, gently sloping lines, without any bony projections.Round faces can be oval or the true round form. The ideal shape of a face is oval, so with the clever use of make-up, you must attempt to make your face appear oval.This can be done by using foundations of different tones-The dark shades(brown or bister) and the pale shades(white or clear).Dark make-up tends to reduce, deepen, darken and conceal and is suitable for contouring prominent cheeks, large noses, chubby faces, and for the bags under the eyes.Pale makeup, on the other hand, enlarges lengthens, brightens, fills out, and covers the dark circles under the eyes. B.Getting Ready:Before applying makeup, especially if you are dressing for a rather important occasion, you must prepare yourself in a special way.Massage your face with a nourishing cream, follow it up with a suitable mask.See that there are no dark hair visible on the face-bleach them or pluck them, if necessary.You might need to remove unwanted hair from your arms, legs and underarms. C.Shaping Your Eyebrows:The single most important point to remember when shaping your eyebrows is balance.Your facial shape would to a large extent determine the shape of your eyebrows.Here are some tips to help you decide on the shape of your eyebrows.1.For A Trapezoidal Face: Slightly thick eyebrows drawn gently towards the temple.2.For A Rectangular Face: Keep the eyebrows as natural as possilble.3.For A Square Face: Give a slightly rounded curve.4.For A Triangular Face: Brows should not be too thick.Curve the brows slightly upwards, to emphasize the triangular shape of the face.5.For An Oval Face: Keep the brows parallel to the lid and drawn towards the temple.6.For A Round Face: Brows should be slightly arched, in an oblique curve directed towards the temple.
