Apply a concealer

Choose the perfect foundation

Now that the skin on your face has an even tone, the job of the foundation starts. The foundation is specifically made in various shades to cater to all skin types and colors. Makeup experts suggest you select one that is at least two shades deeper than your skin tone. This contrast helps highlight your eyes prominently. Make sure you apply the foundation evenly all over your eyelids, including the difficult corners and edges.

Decide on the eyeshadow

Your eyeshadow must be at least one shade darker than the foundation you use.

With a fine brush draw in from the outer corner of your eye towards the nose, till just the middle of your eyelids, in a triangular shape producing a cat-eye effect. This will open up your eyes and give a fresh appearance.

Highlight your eyes
