 When you’re ready to apply eye makeup there are some things to keep in mind. The six steps below explain the order for putting on eye makeup.

2. Next, assess whether or not you have dark circles or just slight discoloration. This is an important step because it makes a difference in what type of undereye concealer you will be using. Go with a concealer that has an appropriate level of pigment for your particular concerns. If you’re trying to cover dark circles it may call for a professional product. Remember, to use a concealer brush and then lightly tap the area to blend.

3. After any discoloration is covered consider whether or not you should wear an eyeshadow base on your upper eyelid area. Eyeshadow bases are excellent for making your eyeshadow last all day. Use either an oil-free foundation or a base made specifically for the eye area.
