How to apply makeup for almond-shaped eyes: A step by step tutorial with pictures
You can finish your base before you start your eye make-up. Concealer is a great idea for covering any dark under-eye circles.
Step 1: Prepare Your Eyes
Before applying eye primers like the Smashbox 24-Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer, make sure you clean your eyes. This helps lock in color and prolongs the life of your eye makeup.
Step 2: Apply a light eyeshadow
To create an even base, sweep a light eyeshadow across your eyes. This step creates depth because it highlights your natural contours and almond-shaped eyes. Any neutral shade can be used from any palette. We’re using M3 from Smashbox’s Full Exposure Palette. This palette has a wide range of shimmer and matte shades that can be used to create dramatic looks or neutral looks.
Step 3: Create a sideways V-shape towards the outer corners
Use a darker shade, such as M6, to contour and define. Make a V-shaped sideways along the upper lash line and crease lines. This will allow you to elongate your eyes and improve their symmetry.
Step 4: Accentuate The Outer Corners Of Your Eyes
Then, highlight the outer corner of your eyes with a dark shimmer color like S7. This will give your eyes some definition. To make your eyes stand out even more, apply the eyeshadow to the outer corners.
Step 5: Finish with Mascara
Two coats of mascara are enough to complete the look.
Tip: To instantly increase the size and brightness of your eyes, you can add a nude waterproof liner to your inner rim. This trick is especially recommended by makeup artists if you have had an early morning and a late night.
This is the final look!
