Makeup Tips For Honey Eyes

You will require eye shadows in three different shades - bronze, copper and champagne.
Begin applying eye shadow to your eyes with the lightest shade, that is, champagne. Apply the color right from the brow bone to the edges of the lashes, covering the area under the arch of the eyebrow, the crease and the eyelid.
Use the darkest color, that is, bronze to add depth to your eyes. Apply the shade along the crease of your eye. In case the shade isn’t visible, apply it above the crease as well to highlight.
Using the middle shade, that is, copper, fill in the eyelid. Apply the shade over the entire eyelid, covering each corner and ending at the eyelash line.
Blend all the three colors, using a blending brush. Start blending at the brow and end towards the lash.
Apply eyeliner in sage green or brown color to your upper eyelid, starting from the corner and ending at the lash line.
While lining the lower eyelid, begin at the inner corner and continue till ¾ ways under the eyes, along the lash line. Do not cover the entire lower lid.
Finally, complete your eye makeup by applying two coats of black mascara.
Apply neutral shades on your lips and cheeks.
