Depending on where you work, dramatic eye make-up may not be appropriate.
Here is a look that is elegant, subtle & classy for any work environment.

STEP ONE
Start off with your foundation. You can use a primer if you choose, but it is not required. Apply foundation with a foundation brush using downward strokes.
Again, if you choose to, you may set it with a loose powder.

STEP TWO
Before I move on to the rest of my face, I apply my eye makeup that way if there’s any fall off it’s easier to clean.
For this look, I used MAC Banshee and MAC Hocus Pocus. Banshee is a soft brown, almost pinky color while Hocus Pocus is almost a charcoal gray.
Apply a eyeshadow primer (I used Palladio), and then using a flat, stiff brush pat MAC Banshee (or a similar color) all over your lid. Using a fluffy dome brush, blend it out slight above your crease
Using a tapered brush, apply Hocus Pocus (or a similar color) to your outer V. With a fluffy dome brush, blend Hocus Pocus to your outer V and up into the crease.
To soften out the harsh charcoal, blend Banshee with a fluffy dome brush over it

Apply black eyeliner to your lower lash line. Then, using a smudge or pencil brush, smudge Hocus Pocus over the liner until you get the desired effect.
Lastly, generously apply your mascara or false lashes.

STEP THREE
Let’s work on the rest of our face!
Apply your contour (optional), bronzer and/or blush and then set with a setting spray!

STEP FOUR
Last but not lease, apply  a lipliner & your favourite lipstick.
