Your skin will look more youthful with this eye makeup. The eyeliner you use should be a shade or two darker than the eye shadow.

Tinted foundation:
Choosing the right colored foundation is very important when you do the makeup. If you choose the wrong color, everything else you do on your face will go wrong.
