Highlight the corner of eyes with dark shade

Finish by applying a bit of the darkest shade to the corners of your eyewinging it out slightly to create a little flick as this will make your eyes appear bigger.

Line it up

Give your look some extra impact by adding a black eyeliner. Pick a soft liner as this gives it more of a subtle smudged effect. Line the top of your eyes, creating a flick to match your eyeshadow, then add a bit to the outer corner of your bottom lash line.
