I became interested in this shading techique, where you place a dark color to you inner and outer corners, you sheerly wash it in the crease (so you connect both dark corners). And then you apply a highlighting color in the middle of the lid.
Like so:
Notice how my tear duct is
is a dark chocolately brown? Usually that is where the highlight colors go for me. But not with this technique, oh no.
Surprisingly, I don't mind not going all bright-eyed, bushy tailed.
Yeah, it casts a shadow. Which is what I find really sexy.
Smokey eyes for big eyes is what this is which is why I've never really been much interested in making up my eyes like this. Now I'm a believer.

If I was to show a signature look of what I am comfortable wearing that isn't a nude no-make-up make-up, this would be it!
I'd probably go even deeper than this, I sometimes forget that shadow will fade once it settles on the skin properly. I have dry lids, it's impossible to prevent drying out throught the day. First world problems, eh? :P

I love the soft glow from the inside out. Lovely!
@Makeup Zombie: thank you. Interesting about the glow, Cream is such a plain shadow I would not expect it to do much.
