Ellen with no makeup.

 

To shape Ellen’s brows, a guide was created using light eyeshadow. The eyeshadow was brushed over the hairs that needed to be removed.

Ellen, after brows have been tweezed.

Eyeshadow: first, a base color is applied using a flat, wide brush. The base color is neutral in tone.

Dark brown eyeshadow is brushed into the brows with an angle brush to define their shape.

To contour the eyes, apply a medium to deep eyeshadow shade to the crease and just above the crease, using a soft contoured brush.

Use the same angle brush that you used on the brows to apply eyeliner. Sweep a deep shade of eyeshadow close to the lashes. This will serve as soft eyeliner and will give definition to the eyes.

After the eyeliner is applied, smudge it with a cotton swab to make it softer and remove excess.

Here is the finished eyeliner.

Use an eyelash curler to shape your lashes. Look straight ahead and curl as close to the base of the lashes as possible.

Look up and apply mascara first to the bottom lashes, then look straight ahead and apply to the top lashes. This will prevent mascara smudges on your eyelids.

Here is Ellen’s completed eye makeup. You will notice that I prefer to apply eye makeup before concealer, foundation, powder, blush and lip color. This way, I can clean up any smudges there may be under the eyes, and then proceed with the rest of the makeup.

 
Ellen is now wearing full makeup. Beautiful!
