How: Blend a medium-toned brown shade like M.A.C. Eye Shadow in Sable, $16, onto your lid, and look straight ahead into a mirror. With your eyes open, you'll be able to see when the shadow starts to become visible. Blend the brown shade up past your socket, towards your brow bone. Don't worry -- you've got plenty of room up there. This shadow technique contours your socket into looking like a crease, lending a sultry, defined vibe to your look.
Next, blend the same shadow along your bottom lash line. Rim your water line and upper lash line with a deep grey liner, and use a light champagne shadow to highlight just the inner corners of your eyes to keep them from looking closed-in.
Finish the look with a volumizing mascara on your top and bottom lashes. Add a set of medium-length false lashes (Ardell Lashlites, $3.99) to make your eyes appear even bigger.
