How to Create Subtle Eye Look

1. Pick an eyeshadow shade that is close to your own skin color.

2. Apply the base. Moisturize if necessary to start with a clean surface. Cover your eyelids with eyeshadow primer, concealer, or a foundation that matches your skin tone.

3. Apply the lightest shade onto your inner eye, blend the edge until you cannot tell where the transition is. Repeat with a slightly darker shade and blending at the edge of the previous shade. Keep repeating with slightly darker shades, starting further out and blending thoroughly.Finish with the darkest shade to form the upper V.

4. For a slightly more defined style, pick a single shade. Blend it thoroughly over the crease, plus a small amount in your upper V. Use a thick brush in a rounded motion. This should leave you with a visible circle of eyeshadow, but in a subtle shade.

5. Draw eyeshadow slightly darker than your skin tone along your crease. Using a cotton swab or thick brush, brush this upward almost to your brow bone, thinning it into a smoky effect.

6. Brighten your eyes with a small addition.Dab a small dot of white or light tan eyeshadow on the corner of your eye, near your tear ducts.
