Placement first. A complicated palette can wait.
Look straight ahead
Start with your eyes open and relaxed. Notice which part of the lid is visible. A wash of color placed just above the fold can remain visible when the eye is open.
Build with a light hand
Use a mid-tone shadow and a small amount of product. Blend, look up, and assess before adding depth. This is often easier than trying to fix a heavy first application.
Keep liner intentional
Try a thin line close to the upper lashes. Check the shape with the eye open. If a wing feels awkward, a softly smudged outer corner is an equally valid finish.
Practice one detail
Experiment with only shadow placement or liner thickness in one session. Take a photo of the version you like and note the brush and product used.
