Using the darker colour, work outwards from the center of the eyelid (this makes your eyes look further apart). Remember you are trying to create an almond shape for your eyes. Next, use this colour underneath the eye ina a gradually widening line from the center to the outside corner.

Fill in the gap between eyeshadow and eyebrow with highlight and apply a darker crease line as shown. Remember all colours must be carefully blended so that no definate divisions are noticeable.

Sucking in your cheeks to provide a guide line, apply blusher, more at night than in the daytime. Carefully note the position for application and work from the hairline inwards. Your blusher should be of the same colour group as the lipstick you intend to use.

Apply a light coat of mascara, holding a mirror horizontally against your chest for the upper lashes and vertically in front of you for the upper.

Using eyelash curlers, clamp them tightly as near to the roots of your upper lashes as possible and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat for the other eye.

Lightly stroke in colour using eyebrow pencil, following the natural arched shape but extending them outwards at the edge.

Apply a second light coat of mascara, ensuring that 10 minutes has elapsed since the first application.

Using a lipliner that matches your lipstick, outline the natural shape of your lips but accentuating the centre bow slightly.
