Apply primer on the eyelids
The very first and an important step of eye makeup are to use a primer to let your eye makeup lasts for more than 3-4 hours. If you are applying eye makeup for a shorter period of time and do not want to keep it for hours then you can skip this step.
Apply foundation on eyelids and under the eyes
Now, apply foundation onto your eyelids as well as under the eyes to hide those unwanted dark circles. But, make sure to blend it well to avoid uneven skin texture on and around the eyes.
Apply black eye shadow
Take your preferred black eye shadow and apply it gently and evenly onto your eyelid with the help of a brush which is used specifically for applying shadow. If you do not have a shadow applicator brush, you can use your last finger as well, as it perfectly blends the eye shadow. Among them, the brush gives much better blending results than a finger. So, try to get this brush before starting your eye makeup.
Use contrasting color
To give a flawless and gorgeous look to your eyes, it is recommended to use a contrasting color. This color works great in enhancing the overall look and effect of black shadow. If you are confused about what to use as the contrasting color, you can take any color that matches your dress or outfit. Like, you can use dark blue, green, purple, dark peach or anything which you think go perfect and blend easily with black shadow. Apply this color exactly on the center of the eyelids.
Re-apply black eyeshadow
Once you are done with applying the contrasting color of your choice, now re-apply your black eye shadow all over the eyelid. But make sure to blend it perfectly with a contrasting color. This step gives some glance of a contrasting color and peeps out of the black shadow.
Apply shimmer white shadow
After you have a ravishing blend of two dark eye shadows on the lids, now it’s time to enhance the look of the rest of the eye. Take shimmer white shadow and apply it from the crease to the brow bones and blend it with the shadow on the lids. But make sure not to spread black eye shadow above the eyelid. This shimmer white shadow works great in making your eyes more attractive and is perfect to apply for evening parties.
Extend black shadow upwards
Now, extend the black shadow on the lid upwards to the end of the eyebrows in the form to tail to have that additional effect of the eye makeup.
Use eyeliner and mascara
Once you are satisfied with the eyeshadow, next you have to focus on enhancing the overall look of your eyes which is incomplete without eyeliner and mascara. So, apply black eyeliner in a moderate to thick form to define your eyes. Also, do not forget to use mascara on your eyelashes to give a striking appeal to the eyes.
Curl your eyelashes

To give that glitter finish to your black eye makeup, you have to use loose glitter powder instead of eyeshadow with glitters. Simply get the glitter powder on a dry flat brush and pat off excess glitter from the brush. Now apply it on the eyelid with black shadow. Make sure not to use it on any area except on the lid.
