Before applying eye shadow, use your fingertip to prime both eyelids with Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion. Using a eye defining brush, choose your favorite shades from the Maybelline NewYork The Nudes Pallete. For this look, 4 different nude shades were used on the entire eye area, lid, contour crease, and line around the eye to create a very natural look. Last, evenly blend shadows together with Urban Decay Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush.

Apply two even coats of Maybelline NewYork Lash Sensational Washable Mascara to both your top and bottom lashes (letting the first coat dry before applying the second).

Line bottom and top eyelids using Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. For a more dramatic look, on top eyelids create a wing-effect or cat-eye-effect (as pictured below).

Highlight & Contour face as desired. Start by applying MAYBELLINE NewYork Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer and MAYBELLINE NewYork Fit Me Concealer underneath both eyes, on the bridge of the nose, forehead, underneath nose, and around any dark areas surrounding the lips.

Using a contouring makeup brush, choose an eye shadow shade darker than your skin tone from The Nudes Palette, on both sides of your face create a line from your temple to cheek bone, pucker in your cheeks and then create another line from your cheek bone to the outer corner of your lips. Last, create a line from your cheek bone to your jawline.
