Then, take the darker tone to mark depth. Apply it right at the bottom of the eyelid, a good trick for applying makeup to this area is to look up and draw a line from the crease of your eye along your upper eyelashes right to the end with an applicator. Pass the brush over the area several times and extend the eye shadow outwards and upwards.
