Don't be scared to use black eyeshadow!

Today I would like to provide you with a quick, yet effective, easy eye application using black eyeshadow.

Step 1: Do all of your usual prep work (ex. eye base, concealer, liquid foundation, powder).  In these photos I have applied all other cosmetics except for my eye application.


Step 2:  Using your choice of mascara, apply as many coats as you normally would.  I have used 2 coats for myself in these photos.


Step 3: Using a petite angled eyeshadow brush, apply a small amount of black eyeshadow starting at the outer corner of the upper lid and following along the lash line to the midpoint of the lid.  Repeat procedure at the outer corner of the lower lid.  You may go back over the black eyeshadow using the pad of your finger to smudge the product in order to create more of a blended or "smokey" effect.
