Eye Makeup: How to Elongate Your Eyes

let's start this look with a little primer primer helps your eyeshadows to last longer and I'm loving this one at the moment for this look I have four Shadows starting with the lightest highlighter I'm going to work this all over the lid when elongating the eyes highlighter is key so don't be afraid to over apply it make sure to get right into that inner Corner the lighter this area is the further it will push your eyes apart use whatever is left over on the brush to slightly highlight underneath the Brows with the midtone I'm going to slightly cut the crease on the Outer Edge draw a line into the socket to create a crease then draw a line on the lower lash line to meet up with it don't draw the line in too far look straight on in the mirror and stop at the edge of your iris then you can soften the line with your blending brush use the same shade under the eyes but stop halfway in sweep the shadow upwards from the lower lid to join the outer edge and soften this again take your darkest shade and copy the same technique but don't blend outside the midtone your midtone is always Blended further usually you wouldn't blend your eyeshadows outside this imaginary line but in this case we want to blend it further to elongate the eye shape taking my liner brush I'm going to dampen it and use the black eyeshadow make sure it's smooth before you apply it on the lid only use eyeliner from the center of the lid and work outwards once again this will pull the eyes apart allow it to get slightly thicker on the Outer Edge when curling your lashes and applying mascara focus on the outer half and this is another way to lengthen your eyes use the mascara wand to pull the lashes outwards rather than up Corner lashes are perfect as tare longer on the Outer Edge and this adds length and volume on the outer half and there you go elongated brighter eyes
