Party Eyes


If you’re heading to a party, you need a great party look. The best way to dress up your normal make up is to use “party eyes.” There are many names for this particular look, but it boils down to dark sultry eyes that boys will just naturally be drawn to. Next time you’re playing make up games, try creating your own party eyes.

Start with foundation. Sweep a bit of foundation or tinted moisturizer over your eyelids to give the eye make up something to stick to. Be sure it’s blended of course and a very light coat.

Apply a base coat of eye shadow. Use a bright color such as cream, but skip the glitter. Apply the base coat to the eyelid from lashes to eyebrow. Apply some to the corners of your eye as well.

Use a dark shadow and a very thin brush to outline your eyes. You want a thin line, but not a harsh line which is why you shouldn’t use liner.

Fill in your eyelid above the dark line with a medium shade of eye shadow from the colored part of your eye to the corner.

Finally, blend the shadow lightly to make it appear a bit more natural and then apply two dark coats of mascara to both upper and lower lashes. Be sure to avoid any lumps.
