Apply a concealer under your eyes to cover any dark circles. Sakib suggests that you use a darker shade than the typical ivory tones, for a more natural look.

Apply liquid base to the lids - this helps keep the color on your lids longer and also adds a glow.

(This is when you would also apply base to the rest of your face and neck, preferably using a sponge applicator for an even finish)

Apply a liquid eyeliner, a thin line is sufficient. Just go with the natural shape of your eye.

Wet a sponge shadow applicator and cover the entire lid with it. This technique makes it easier for the powder eye shadow to stick to your eye.

Now apply the powder eye shadow to to the entire lid

Use a darker shade of the same color shadow on the corners of the eyes. This makes the eyes look bigger.

Now reapply the eyeliner and smudge the ends for a smoky look

Take a blending brush and blend the colors for a softer look

You can apply a darker shade on the crease of the eye to add more drama and color to your eyes.

Finally, don't forget to finish up with an even coat of mascara on both upper and lower lids.
