Great thread! I usually just do the one color on the lid and then I'm out the door, but I really want to play up my eyes a bit more. I have no clue how to do those multicolor fades that you guys are doing (is that even the right term?) or even how to really do much with it to play up my eyes.

I have a book by Jocelyn Tam that teaches Asian women how to put on makeup, it's very helpful. If there are interests from people on this forum, I can type up the instructions.

I have almond shaped eyes with a slant towards the inner corner of my eyes but I have what is call a "double lid". What I've found look best on me is use a neutral color on my lids, a darker color on the crease, and a highlighter on my brow bone. The highlighter is very important as it really complete the look and bring attention to my entire eye area, instead of just my eyelids. I also use eyeliner on the bottom lashes, lining only half from the outer corner, I find that lining the entire lower rim makes my eyes look smaller.

If I really want the big round eyed look, I layer on mascara, it really opens up the eyes.

I think I need as much help in this area as I can get! I'm fair skinned, with blue/green eyes, I think they're somewhat almond shaped, I think they're too narrow though.

I have read many times the instructions how to make smoke eyes but when i do it, it never looks as good. The hardest part is to put darker eye shadow in the crease of the eye. My eyes are deep set so to make a crease is almost impossible.

Any suggestion? Please...
