So I did a tutorial on a natural glossy eye last week. Today I will cover a slightly more advanced version of the same look – a dramatic glossy eye.

Since the look involves the use of darker colors, it will require patience and practice to master it. Compared to the natural glossy eye, this also has a higher tendency to smudge. I highly suggest you save it for photoshoots or the runway.

Glossy eyes have always been one of my favorite looks. The subtle sheen it creates can instantly brighten up your eyes and give off a fresh, luminous glow to your whole face.

But while they are pretty to look at, they do have the tendency to crease and migrate. Besides, finding the right product to achieve the look and creating them itself can be tough. I have tried a few of the eye glosses out there but trust me, most of them have failed me miserably (and I don’t even have oily eyelids!!)

So instead of investing in a gazillion products that claim to give you glossy eyes that last, I suggest you to simply use the good old Vaseline over your eyeshadow.

Below is a brief tutorial on how to create a natural glossy eye. I will do another tutorial on a dramatic glossy eye next week. Stay tuned!
