A Glamorous 5-Step Eye Makeup Routine to Compliment Your Bold Lip

A first date is all about making your mark—creating an impression such that he's aching for the next date. And while he'll probably be unable to gauge the multiple facets of your wonderful personality in the initial meeting, he will certainly remember that face. So, ensuring that you dress to impress—and absolutely ace your makeup—is a no-brainer. 

If you're planning to go bold and beautiful, what really makes or breaks it depends on how you manage to offset a red-hot lip (or any other edgy shade), with subtler eye makeup. To help you strike the perfect balance, celebrity makeup artist, Ashima Kapoor shares an easy 5-step eye makeup routine that'll perfectly compliment your pout. 

"You can achieve a subtle yet stunning eye makeup look with just two shades! Pick the perfect eye shadow and highlighter, and you're good to go."
