What you need
Steps
Start with clean, dry lids. Apply a thin layer of eyeshadow primer or concealer and set it with a light matte powder so the shadow does not crease.
Apply a light neutral shade over the whole lid, up to the crease. Keep it sheer so it does not look heavy.
Find your crease by looking straight ahead in a mirror. Place a darker shade slightly above the natural crease so it stays visible when your eyes are open.
Blend the darker shade with small back and forth strokes using a clean brush. Build the color in thin layers instead of one heavy pass.
Apply a mid tone on the outer half of the lid and blend it into the crease shade. This adds depth without covering the whole lid.
Line the upper lash line with a thin line. Keep it close to the lashes and slightly thicker at the outer corner to lift the eye.
Add a small dot of light shimmer or pale shadow at the inner corner and on the brow bone. Blend the edges so it looks soft.
Curl your lashes and apply two coats of mascara, focusing on the outer lashes. Check both eyes in natural light and soften any hard lines.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the darker shade above the crease, not in it, or it will vanish when you open your eyes.
Blend with a light hand and build slowly; dark shadow is hard to fix once it is packed on.
Use a matte shade for the crease and save shimmer for the lid and inner corner.
Wash brushes regularly so old color does not muddy your neutral shades.
Questions
Why does my eyeshadow disappear when I open my eyes?
The hood folds over the lid and covers the shadow. Place your crease color slightly higher and above the fold so it stays visible.
Do I need expensive brushes?
No. One small blending brush and one flat brush cover most of this look. Clean them often for smoother blending.
Can I do this look with only two shadows?
Yes. Use a light matte shade on the lid and a darker one above the crease, then add mascara and liner.
