Steps to Achieve This Easy Evening Makeup Look

Step 1: Light Eye Shadow

Apply the lighter eye shadow shade to the inner corners of your eyes. Continue across your lid underneath the crease.

Step 2: More Eyeshadow

Go over the crease and outer corner using the other eye shadow shimmer.

Step 3 - Liquid Liner

Using a liquid eye liner, gently line the upper lash line.

Step 4 - Lipstick

Apply berry or plum lipstick. Deep reds and purples will also work. To make the colour look really intense, dab the lipstick when applying.

Step 5 - Setting Powder

Apply matte setting powder with a wide, loose brush.

Step 6: Optional – Accessorise

Finish the look off with a sparkling hair accessory

Removing Shimmer or Glitter Eye Shadows

While eye shadow with shimmer or glitter looks amazing, it sometimes may be hard to come off. Using a cotton pad and eye makeup remover, gently cleanse your eyes. Repeat a few times, if necessary. Afterwards, wash your face with a facial cleanser and follow with toner and moisturiser.
