*takes a deep breath and gets ready to try her best to explain what she does*

1 -- I cleanse my face and let it dry. This gets rid of extra sheen and other pore-clogging particles that could get trapped between your skin and the makeup. (Or so I think.)

2 -- I pick a very pale, somewhat shimmery shade (usually in the range of beige) and sweep it slightly under the brow and near the tear duct. I blend it with my finger slightly if I think it looks too defined.

3 -- I take a darker shade (light brown) and sweep it across my eyelid, from the corner of my eye out the edge of my lash line. I dust it upwards without applying more. If it's too pale I go back and add a second layer.

4 -- I take a darker colour (deep brown) and smudge it somewhat into my lash line. I do this instead of eyeliner, which I find troublesome to get good results with sometimes.

That's basically what I do. Sorry if it made no sense to you. I'm trying to make you visual aids (don't make fun of them) now.
Not saying that it's the only way or the best way to do it, but I find it works well enough. I can try to do it and take pictures later if you remind me.

ALSO. WHAT VIDEO.
*comforts*

I just use this big thing of makeup my mother got me a long while ago, when I had absolutely no interest in it at all. xD
