Apply Eye Shadow

Apply eye shadow over the entire eyelid. Pick a color family that will make your eyes stand out on stage, as stage lights tend to make the eyes appear smaller. The color will depend on the color of your eyes as well as your skin tone. Choose three complementary colors, applying the darkest shade near the eye, the medium shade above the eyelid crease, and the lightest shade under the eyebrow. Remember to slightly blend the colors together.
