This is why in order to become something, a person must first begin to view themselves as having succeeded. This is precisely what children do when they imagine, it is a crucial part of the way that humans learn to be what they want to be. There is no different from an aspiring business man buying a suit to present himself as successful or a woman taking a trip to a nail salon so that she can improve her social standing within her community or in her work place. Taking steps towards how we want to be always rewards us by bringing us closer to our personal ideals.

1. Use a primer. An eyelid primer will remove all the oils from the eyelid,  allowing your eyeshadow to stay in place longer.
2. Apply your eyeliner, which can be a brown, dark green, charcoal, violet, or any other color that will match with the chosen eyeshadow.
3. Find a ‘light base’. A lighter shade of eyeshadow will be swept up from the eyelid to the brow bone, and then blended gently.
4. Use eyeliner in a lighter color along the bottom lashes, and cover with a light smudge of eyeshadow.
5. Use a darker eyeshadow on your eyelid, covering the eyeliner, and blending it together so that the eyeliner no longer shows.
6. Blend in the eyeshadow where the lighter and darker hues meet.
7. Use an eyelash curler or brush to separate lashes, and use a volumizing mascara in a dark color on both the top and bottom lids. Always opt for waterproof, to keep from any smudging your running.  Try to apply two or three coats.
8. Make sure that the rest of your makeup is not too heavy.
