There is an old saying that goes, “Eyes are the windows to the soul.” Well if that really is the case, you’d better make sure that your windows have some good curtains to make your soul outstanding!

Eyeshadow is an important makeup accessory because a little bit of color applied in the right way can do wonders to enhance your personal style. Cindy Fernandez, an Independent Senior Sales Director for Mary Kay provides teens with some helpful tips in applying eye makeup for daily wear or special occasions.

1. Always begin with a clean washed face
2. Use an eyeliner applicator for precise color placement and a brush for a more even application
3. Finish the look by applying mascara and eyeliner after applying the eye shadow

4. Never share eyeliner or mascara

Below are popular shades from Mary Kay Cosmetics to help you achieve three distinct looks.

Color #1 - Use a light color like Sweet Cream (labeled 1), to soften the eye.

Color #2 - Select a darker tone Sienna (labeled 2) to add drama to the area nearest to the brow.

Color #3 - Add a shimmery dark tone as Granite to dazzle your audience.

Maintain the Natural Look for everyday wear.

Get jazzy with the Dramatic Look at your winter formal or prom.
