-When working with dramatic eyes, it's important to start with well-shaped brows. Moisturizer and a concealer/foundation base are also essential for long-lasting eye effects.

-When wearing bright, bold colors, remember to blend with a feather-like brush so you avoid any streaking.

-To really extentuate your eyes, layer dark shades with light shades. Keep dark shades near to top and out-corners of your lid, while lighter, softer colors should be kept near the inner corners of the lid, and under the eye.

-Using a small shadow brush in upward strokes will help pull darker, bolder colors toward the socket area, really adding drama. Remember, keep feathering and blending, adding new colors with the same technique.

-Never over-use bright, bold, or dark colors (unless you're preparing for a performance).
