< Optional
Step 3 Apply the darkest contrasting color to the outer, lower lid along the eyelashes. Blend into the medium contrast color. You can choose to skip this step if your eyes are wide set

Typically, you should use three colors for contouring and highlighting your eyes. The lightest color will open and brighten your eyes.The medium color will give slight depth to eyes and the darker, and the contrasting color will give depth and shape to the eyes. You should ALWAYS use brushes to apply eye shadow. Throw away those nasty foam applicators they give you
