1. Outline your eye contour with a black eye pencil, all the way around. Make the line thicker along the upper lashes.
2. With a brush or a sponge applicator, apply your base colour eyeshadow on the mobile eyelid and above the crease, about halfway to the eyebrows, blending slightly.
3. With a point brush/sponge applicator, apply contour colour eyeshadow all the way around your eyes, blending it well with the pencil line.
4. Half close your eyes and apply contour colour in the crease.
5. You will now need to define the outside corners of your eyes using a horizontal "V" shape. The position of the pointy end of the "V" will control the apparent shape of your eyes.

I don't know if this is any help, but hopefully it is!

Always remember that the darkest colour should be closest to your lash line.

1) Apply a light brown eyeshadow all over your lids and blend upwards towards eyebrows.
2) Apply a slightly darker brown shadow on your eye lids, leaving the inner corner light.
3) Line your eye with black eyeliner, as close to the lash line as possible, top and bottom. Also line your lower waterline.
4) Smudge the black eyeliner gently back and forwards along the lash line.
5) Add plenty of mascara!
