Have you got a party or a date to go on? Need a quick, simple way to apply your eye makeup? Here are 8 simple steps in applying your eye makeup for a flawless, beautiful finish!

1. Prep your eyes with a concealer

Concealers can be used to cover up any under eye circles or just the bluish discoloration under the eyes. To cover these apply three dots of concealer under each of your eyes. You will need to start in the inner corner where the skin is usually darkest, then apply under pupil and on outer edge. Always pat it down, never rub it in! Use your ring finger until it has disappeared.

2. Apply a base to your eye lids

This is the secret to lasting eyeshadow! Make sure you properly prime your lid first, otherwise your eyeshadow could crease!

3. Apply eyeshadow

The best eyeshadows are a three-toned shadow and build from lids to brow. Alowing them to blend into eachother, always starting with a light colour which almost matches your lid. Sweep the colour across the lid and up to your browbone. Follow the medium colours across your lid only. Build on these with a darker colour on the crease. Making sure you blend the colours in well!

4. Apply your eyeliner

Dark eye shadows work great as eyeliners! Wet a small, slanted brush then dip into the dark eyeshadow. Line your eyes as close to the upper lashes as you can, from the inner to outer corners. Use eyeliner on the bottom eyes but start in the middle an go outwards. If you are looking for a smokey look then use another brush to pat in the dark eyeshadow on both the upper and lower lid. Or just use a pencil eyeliner and do the same steps, except apply lightly and use a smudger to create a smokey look.

5. Brighten your eyes

Use this only on the inside part of the eye. With a gold or pink highlighter (white may be too bright) draw on the V-Shape part of the eye and then blend with your fingers.

6. Highlight your brow

Use the highlighter and dab it on your brow bone, from the middle and outwards. Then blend with your fingers.

7. Curl your lashes

You will need an eyelash curler for this. You can heat these up for an added effect with a hair dryer but make sure you test it first making sure its not too hot! Never use a curler after putting on mascara!

8. Apply your mascara

Use the wand of your mascara brush at the top lashes and apply back and forth also do this on the bottom lashes. If you would like a great mascara visit this page to see my favourite top 10 mascaras - click here
