Round eyes may be made to appear more almond-shaped if desired. With Eyebrow pencil, extend the line of the upper and lower lids at the outer corner of the eye. Blend lines into faint shadow. Likewise the brow should also be extended a trifle.

Apply a sifter line close to the lashes of the lower lid from the center and outward, shading this line into a faint shadow.

That’s all !
