However, the difference is fairly subtle, so skip this if you’re in a hurry. Why? A lighter shade underneath makes the colors brighter and more luminous, which (you guessed it) makes the eye look bigger. First, an optional step: I like to apply a wash of a light neutral shade to my entire lid and brow before I start adding color. ![]() If you’re looking for an easy start, try Covergirl’s Perfect Point pencil, more like a thin crayon. ![]() A gel or pencil liner is ideal for this process. Keep your line thin and use an angled brush to buff out the liner. Applying liner first will give it a more subtle effect while still adding some definition. Thick or harsh graphic lines are hard to get right on hooded eyes, owing to their unique shape. Why? Since your eyes may look smaller, you want to aim for a softer look. Now, for some unconventional advice: apply your eyeliner first. Some people swear by expensive primers to keep their product in place-the MAC Prep + Prime base comes highly recommended-but I have always done just fine with e.l.f’s $3 version. ![]() Neutral or translucent primer is best for this process. If your primer comes with an applicator, just swipe it lightly a few times across the lid and brow bone and then blend with your finger. ![]() To keep shadow in place and distribute product evenly, use your finger to gently pat primer over your entire lid and crease, all the way up to your brow bone. How and where you apply the primer makes a difference too.
