| Eye Design | Three-color design
Start with the basic one- or two-color eye-makeup designs. The third shade can be a deeper color than the two previous is added to the back (outside) corner of the lid, in the crease or over the crease and the back corner of the lid.
In this case the lid and under-brow colors are less intense than the color at the back corner of the lid or in the crease. Sometimes it can make a beautiful deep shade of brown, charcoal, cedar, mahogany, sable, red-brown, slate, chocolate brown, camel, deep taupe, eggplant, or even black.
If you use the third eyeshadow in the crease you just blend it slightly up into the under-eyebrow area and out onto the temple. You must be sure that you are not following the down-curving movement of the shape of the eye. The best look is if you mix together the crease color out and up into the outer corner of the eye, and up onto the back of the brow bone.
When you use the third color at the back corner of the eye, the color is blending out and up into the crease and temple area.
Four-color design
Here you must start again with the one- or two-color eye-makeup design. Than you have to add a darker color to the crease or even darker color such as black or deepest gray to the back corner of the eye. The back corner of the eyelid involves the arts of placement and blending and requires a dark color.
The difficult part of this eye design is blending the crease color across the entire length of the eye without making it look obvious, choppy, or smeared. This sweep of color should not look like a stripe across the eye.
Don’t forget that the center or fold of the crease area is always the darkest. You must start your brush there and blend out in each direction and concentrate your efforts on the crease area you want to shade.
