Applying Eye Makeup
It's time to move on to the eyes, so grab your eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow and go to work.
Creating Eyebrows
Utilize the L'Oréal Paris UnbelievaBrow Longwear Waterproof Brow Gel to shape and define sparse brows. It's a simple approach to fill in sparse, thin brows. To see what you're dealing with, comb your natural brows with a dry spoolie first. Apply the gel next gradually, adding more as necessary to achieve the desired appearance.
Use the L'Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Waterproof Eyebrow Mechanical Pencil if your brows are in quite decent form and you only need to fill them in a little and give them hold. Make small strokes between your hairs with the thin pencil. Then use a strong hold clear gel to put them in place, such as L'Oréal Paris UnbelievaBrow Longwear Brow Topcoat, Waterproof Universal Transparent, which holds the hairs in place all day without feeling stiff or crunchy.
Applying Eyeshadow
To ensure that your eyeshadow has some lasting power, use an eye primer or a matte concealer to your lids before applying eyeshadow. If you want a straightforward appearance, start by using your fingers or a flat eyeshadow brush to apply color to your lids. Next, dab some highlighter around your brow bone and use a fluffy brush to blend a mid-tone colour into your crease.
Use the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Pocket Palette Eyeshadow in Boudoir Charme to create natural definition on the eyes with four neutral colours of varied intensities for a neutral eye makeup look.

Applying Eyeliner
Applying eyeliner after eyeshadow and before mascara is the simplest method. Equal with a pencil, it might be challenging to draw an even line in one motion when you're initially learning, so consider going line by line instead. After that, go over it again to join the disconnected lines and make your line as thick as you'd like.
Choose the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24HR Pencil Eyeliner for a liner that you can smudge or keep looking sharp. You can even put this eyeliner on your waterline (this technique is called tightlining) for more definition. Try the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Grip Precision Felt Waterproof Eyeliner, which features a fine tip for precise application, if you like to use liquid eyeliner for a razor-sharp appearance. The sort of liner you select will probably be determined by the appearance you're trying for, so you may want to stock up on a variety of formulas, finishes, and colors.
Application of Mascara
Finally, use mascara to define your lashes. You might need to learn how to curl your lashes before applying any solution to your wispies; an eyelash curler will become your closest buddy. Apply a volumizing mascara that also lengthens after curling your lashes, such as L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Washable Mascara.
Start with the base of your lashes and work your way up to the tip with the ultra-soft, wavy brush. Give it two coats for added drama, and for your bottom lashes, run the mascara wand vertically across them to add some mascara.
After applying mascara, you may add some artificial lashes to your appearance if you really want to boost the drama. You might need assistance since applying false eyelashes is harder than it seems. Take as your guidance our article, How to Apply False Eyelashes Like a Pro.
Taking Off Makeup
Playing with makeup is entertaining, but no one will find it funny if they wake up with breakouts from sleeping in their favorite cosmetics. Therefore, it's crucial that you always remove your makeup before going to bed. We understand that it must be difficult to watch all of your hard work come to an end, but don't worry—once you've mastered the fundamentals, you'll be able to practice more and try out a variety of looks.
Use a face cleanser or makeup remover that can get rid of even waterproof mascara and other budge-proof formulations to remove your makeup. The ideal ally for this is the L'Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser Waterproof - All Skin Types. It removes makeup, oil, grime, and other pollutants from the face by using microscopic oil molecules to push them up and away.
You may then apply it to your face by pouring it onto a cotton ball. To guarantee that no makeup remains on your face while you sleep beautifully, use a light cream cleanser next.
