Now it's time to break it down for downturned eyes. We've created these custom looks for
each shape to show you how to get the most out of your gorgeous eyes with our new amazing
Full Exposure Palette. There's a look for day, one for night, and a defined look for
each shape. So tonight I'm going to show you how to create
a nightlook which is really the most dramatic of all three looks. So for you girls with
downturned eyes the trick is to excentuate your super soulful shape by enhancing the
outer corners. This makes your eyes totally perfect for those
gorgeous winged looks that everyone wants. More on that later, but for right now we're
going to walk you through a gorgeous night look. I've already prepped my model with 24
hour photo finish shadow primer. This is the latest new lid primer and it's
amazing. Be sure to keep an eye out for it, it really does lock on color for a full 24
hours. First sweep a light shimmer shade across your lid. You can really use any of the light
shimmer shades but for you I decided to start with S4.
This serves as a great base to really intensify those dark shades we'll be using. Next to
excentuate your shape apply a medium shade to the crease blending upward.
I'm going to use M5. It's going to be a little bit more subtle. For downturned eyes, blending
upward is key because it helps to create balance and brings out your eyes that much more. To
enhance the outer corners line the entire upper lash line with a dark shade like M6.
Enhancing those outer corners on downturned eyes creates a great symmetrical effect and
really makes your shape pop. Finish the eyes with 2 coats of full exposure mascara.
Don't forget to give a little love to those outer lashes. This will really open up your
shape for a perfect wide eyed look. Finish the look with a bit of Halo Longwear blush
in warm glow and a swipe of Be Legendary Lipstick in Primrose.
So, Sarah, this look is all about enhancing your eye shape so we wanted to keep the lips
and the cheeks neutral. I think you look amazing. So we have this gorgeous look that you can
wear anywhere, anytime. Let's have some fun with it.
Enter always sharp liners. To really make the most out of a downturned eye and really
add a little bit of drama I'm going to use French Navy and do a double wing. Everyone
is always asking me to do these winged looks and you downturned girls are so lucky because
this look is perfect for your shape. This double lined on top has just a little
upswing on the outer corner to really enhance your shape and of course some high glamour.
It's so pretty! Isn't it? And it's so subtle but it's just perfect. It really helps to
make your eyes look bigger and bolder. That's what we really want when we're really
applying eye shadow. If you found this video, hopefully by now you should know what your
eye shape is and why it's so important to apply makeup based on your shape. But if you
