To begin with, you will need to apply shadow on the entire eyelid, with the help of a brush. However, you will need to use two shades of the same color. Apply light eye shadow on the inner corner and one shade darker, on the outer corner of your eyes.

Now is the time to curl your eyelashes, with the help of a curler. Clean your eyelashes completely and place your upper lashes inside the mouth of the curler. Close the curler and wait for a count of five. Repeat with the other eye.
In case your eyes are too small and you want to give them a wider appearance as well, it will advisable to put false eyelashes on the outer corner of your eyes.
Apply a liquid eye liner, matching the shade of the eye shadow, on the top lash line. Do not draw it in the inner area of your eyes. Start drawing it at the beginning of the growth of eyelash and work to the middle of the eye. Wing it out, to "open up" the eye.
After the liner has dried, you will have to apply two coats of mascara, making sure to give a few seconds pause in-between. Again, make sure to focus it on the outer portions of the lashes.
