Glossy lids can either be dramatic or natural.  Either option is beautiful and makes eyes pop!  This can get a bit messy, but with practice, you’ll look like a runway model in no time!

Prep the eyelid with concealer or eye shadow base to get rid of any discoloration.  For a natural look, apply a sheer layer of shimmery champagne colored eyeshadow all over the eyelid.  Keep the brow bone bare.  For more definition, apply waterproof eyeliner and mascara.  Then comes the gloss!  Apply a little eye gloss, such as Calvin Klein Eye Gloss ($18), or Vaseline on your finger. Gently pat the gloss onto your eyeshadow.  A little at a time.  Do not blend the gloss into the eyeshadow or else you will just end up smudging/rubbing off the color.  Add some more to the inner “V” of your eyes to really make them stand out!

For a more dramatic look, use a vivid color.  However, be forewarned that this requires a lot of maintenance throughout the day.  Be sure to bring your gloss with you to touch up!
