Take a gray or brown pencil liner and draw all the way around your eyes. The line should be thicker on the top lash line, thinner on the lower lash line. Avoid gaps, but remember that it doesn’t need to look perfect. Use your finger to smudge slightly.
With a smudge brush, or a thick eyeliner brush, layer a shimmery shadow in the same shade as your liner on the top lash line.
Sweep a pop of white shadow just under your brow bone with an eye shadow brush.
Apply a couple of coats of volumizing mascara.

With your pinky, apply concealer underneath the eye, only where you need it. Blend.
Pat in tinted moisturizer to even out skin and give you a glowing finish.
Dust a pop of bright, pretty blush on the apples of your cheeks.
Sweep a soft or nude shimmer gloss on lips.
Have an amazing night.
