Instructions

• STEP 1: Determine if your skin has warm or cool undertones. If you have darker
skin, accentuate your eyes with shadows and liners whose colors are richer and
deeper in intensity.
• STEP 2: Enhance a warm complexion with shadows that range between soft
orange and rust, from honey to cinnamon. Choose liners that are soft to rich
brown, and opt for brown or brown- black mascara.
• STEP 3: Complement cooler complexions with shadows in varying shades of
blue, purple and pink. Go with liners that are slate gray to soft purple, and wear
black or dark gray mascara. Green flatters skin that has both warm and cool
undertones. Blue-greens complement cooler complexions, and brownish, earthy
greens enhance warmer ones.
• STEP 4: Add glamour to a warm complexion with coppery or golden shadow.
Pearly purple or silvery blue shadows will glamorize a cooler skin tone.

Tips & Warnings

• Take some time to experiment with color. Head to your local department store
and have a beauty consultant do each eye in a different color scheme to envision
your possibilities.
• The right brow shape will accentuate your eyes and enhance your features. Pencil
in thin brows for more definition.
• Choose long-wearing and hypoallergenic eye makeup formulas to minimize
potential eye irritation
