Daytime Eye-Makeup For The Beginner: 7 Simple Steps!

If you've got two left thumbs where makeup is concerned, it can get unnerving to watch women waltz into work with immaculate eye makeup. Well, you don't need to get jealous for a second more because we're showing you how to do simple eye makeup for a daytime look, even if you aren't a makeup pro.

Step 1 - Apply a layer of primer to your eyelid and under eye area. This will hold your makeup in place and prevent it from creasing for hours to come.

Step 2 - Next, use a narrow applicator brush to apply a matte eyeshadow that's similar to your skin tone all over your lid and brow bone area. This will create an even base for eye makeup to come.

Step 3 - Use a fluffy applicator brush to apply a deep brown or bronze-toned eyeshadow into your crease area. Opt for a shade that's slightly darker than your skin tone to create a shadow-like look in the crease. Blend this shadow in well so that no edges are visible.

Step 4- Over the centre of the lid, use your fingers or a firm brush to pack on a light gold shadow. Use the previous brush to blend the darker shadow with the gold shade.

Step 5 - Dab the gold shadow over your tear ducts in the inner corners and over the brow bone as well.

Step 6 - Apply black eyeliner in a single line as close to the upper lash line as possible. At the outer end, extend it into a tiny triangular wing.

Step 7 - Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and apply mascara over them.
