1) Start off by preparing your eyelids with eyeshadow base: In order to achieve flawless eye makeup, start by applying eyeshadow base to your upper lids using an eyeshadow brush.

2) Line your eyelids with dark eye pencil: Next, define your eyes by rimming your lower eyelids and upper lids with dark brown or black eyeliner. The definition will help to bring the focus to your eye makeup look, and create a sultry effect.

3) Apply chocolate brown, vivid aqua green, light pink and metallic eyeshadows: To truly craft a flawless makeup look, begin applying a series of eyeshadow shades. Start off by adding a light coat of chocolate brown powder shadow, and then layering a shimmering aqua green shade over it. Next, add a dusting of pale pink and finish off your newly crafted eyeshadow statement with a light touch of metallic beige and silver hues.

4) Add black liquid eyeliner for a high-drama touch: Once you’ve applied your eyeshadow, trace your upper eyelids with black liquid eyeliner for a defined and seductive effect.

5) Apply liquid foundation and blush: To get a flawless visage, gently use a beauty sponge to apply liquid foundation. Next, carefully dab drops of liquid concealer on your undereye area, and around the nose and chin. Blend in the makeup for a smooth finish, and then sculpt your cheekbones with a soft brown or peach shade of blush.

6) Finish off your look with luxurious lashes and subtle pink lip colour: To wrap up your beauty look, accentuate your stunning eyes with false lashes if desired, or simply add a coat of black mascara to your lashes. Enhance your pout with a natural-looking pink lip pencil, and highlight the colour with a complementary lip gloss for a fierce finishing touch.
