Method to Make up Almond Shaped Eyes

The basic eye makeup kit should include make up brushes, mascara, eye liner, eye base and eye shadows in light and dark shades. For the purposes of makeup, the eyes are divided into three equal portions: the inner end, the middle and the outer end of the eye.

1. Pluck the eyebrows and shape them. The eyebrow should be thicker and drawn in towards the nose and thinner towards the outer end of the eye. The eyebrow should not extend over the outer end of the eye.

2. Apply eye base over the eyelids.

3. Apply eyeliner on the upper lid to make the almond eyes appear larger. To make your almond eyes look more round, stop applying eyeliner before the outer corner of the eye.

4. Dab highlighter at the inner end of the eye

5. A fine, straight-edge eye shadow brush should be used to apply shadow to the inner corner of the eye at the lash line. Use a neutral shade of eye shadow in the middle of the eye and at the crease. Use a dark shade of eye shadow at the outer end of the eye till the brow bone.

6. Use two coats of mascara on the eye lashes at the outer end of the eye. Comb the lashes to even out and remove lumps if any.
