Step 1: Enhance
This step calls for: Light eyeshadow or a highlighter (preferably a non-glitter one).
Letās start off with this easy step, grab your eyeshadow brush & apply a shade lighter than your skin tone or a highlighter, over the eyelid & below the eyebrow. Start from the inner corner of your eye & work across the lid, make sure to spread it evenly. Donāt forget to blend below the eyebrows, to highlight them & add more definition.
Step 2: Contour
This step calls for Warm eyeshadow or a bronzer.
If contouring isn't your area of expertise, donāt worry this step will not require much skill! First, pick a shade darker than your skin tone or a bronzer & blend it above the lid. To accomplish this perfectly, itās crucial to keep your eyes open and apply the shade only above the lid, creating a smooth contrast between the lighter shade above it. This will add a subtle definition to anyoneās eye shape.
