Start with a light eyelid primer
A thin layer of eye primer helps eyeshadow last longer and stops it gathering in the crease during the day.
Two shades are enough for everyday
A light shade over the whole lid and a slightly deeper one at the outer corner are enough for a neat look without complication.
Define the lashes instead of a thick liner
A good coat of mascara or a very thin line close to the lash line gives a lighter everyday look than a thick eyeliner.
Fix mistakes with a clean brush
A small, clean, dry brush helps you blend any uneven shadow quickly without removing and redoing all your makeup.
