Mind it, you need to keep your eyes ‘un-matching’ with your outfit. What your eyes need to compliment with is the colors on your dress. For this, use colors that are the opposite of the colors on your dress. Use a flat eye shadow brush and then blend using a fluffy dome shaped brush. A darker colour will suit in your crease & follow it up with a highlighter up to your brow bone. All harsh lines visible to the naked eyes will go softened by it.

Let a black, brown, blue or green colored waterproof kajal come in to play in the waterline & then invite a black liner to line the lash line. For displaying some drama, you may also add a ‘flick’ at the outer corner of the eye. We Indian women look great in a winged liner, trust me.

An eye lash curler is like a magic which can make your eyes look ‘awake’! Apply mascara from the roots of the lashes & wiggle the wand in a zig-zag motion till the tip. Individually this is going to coat the lashes nicely adding definition volume as well. Mind it, mascara should always follow curl otherwise your lashes are going to break.

Lip balm is something you need to apply before starting the makeup. It is a must to keep lips moist allowing the lip liner & lipstick to glide on easily.
Remove the lip balm with a tissue & line your lips with the help of a lip pencil.

The pencil needs to fill your entire lip before running the lipstick over. Take a tissue & place it on your lips & run some loose powder with a brush over it for making the lipstick matte and keeping it last longer.
After this put one more lipstick coat with pressing a tissue over gently. Now in case of eating or drinking anything, your lips are going to look as fresh as new for real.
