Want to look fabulous for a photo shoot? Focus on the eyes to stand out from the average portrait!
Use a wet angled eye shadow brush like MAC’s 266 dipped in dark brown eyeshadow (Darkhorse by Urban Decay, in the Naked Palette, has a nice deep shimmer to it) to line eyes instead of the usual black stick or liquid eyeliner. This will give your eyes definition without being very harsh. If the eyeliner still looks too harsh, smudge it a little with your finger.
Skip dark liner the waterline and line along your bottom lashline instead or skip dark eyeliner on the bottom lid altogether. Use a white or peach eyeliner like Stila’s Kajal Topaz Apricot Nude on the waterline to make eyes look bigger and brighter. Opt for white only if you are quite fair skinned, otherwise choose peach.
You may be uncomfortable to break out the full-on glam effect of false eyelashes for a party, but popping on a pair for pictures will help your eyes look larger and more feminine, and they look more subdued in photos than in person.

Apply Iced Latte to the lid. Apply Perpetual Purple to the outer half of the lid and the crease and lightly blend over the Iced Latter on the inner half. Apply Iced Latte again over the inner half and blend for a purple/gold mix on the inner half. Apply Smoldering Plum to the outside corner and crease. Blend and extend Perpetual Purple under the eye as well if desired.
