Winter Eyes.

I basically wear the same eye makeup everyday.
It looks like this.

Sorry about the creepy eye closeup, and the wildness of my eyebrows. (I'm trying to grow them in).
I use to line only my bottom water line, and put on a light coat of mascara. After a while I needed to change things up, I learned a bit more about makeup, and I fell in love with this combo. I get a lot of complements on it, and it's pretty simple.

To achieve this look.
Steps-
1. Set the eye with a shadow primer. I used the urban decay primer potion, just the plain one.
2. Conceal any lines around the eye, with your foundation. No need to go crazy. This also helps to set a base for the shadow along with the primer. If you have darker circles under the eyes, go for a yellow tinted concealer( that's what I do.)
3. Curl your eyelashes. My eyelashes are such a pain, and they're very stubby. Don't tug or pull on the eyelashes either.
4. Use a shimmery gold/tan toned eyeshadow from the eyelashes to the crease of the eyelid. Go from the inner corner all the way to the outer side of the eyelid. Any type of shadow will work fine, I used Lame' by Stila.
5. Highlight the inner corner of the eyelid. Weird, I know..but this will make your eyes look wider and more awake. A lighter shade of tan, or even white will work.
6. Highlight under the brow. Any white shadow or highlight creme will work.
7. Line the top lash line with a black liner. I prefer liquid, just because it's easier to work with. The l'oreal liners work really well( I have a few reviews in past posts.) Not too thick, yet not too thin.
8. Set the liquid liner with a black eyeshadow. This will help make it stay on all day. Just go right over the liner with a think brush of shadow.
9. Apply a couple of coats of any black mascara, and wait for it to dry. Then re-curl the lashes.

And boom! You're done and ready to go!
Hope this helped some of you out.
