Well we need a little more info, what color are your eyes, hair, skin and face shape, what would you like to achieve sultry look or natural look.
Need some of those answered to help better

If you could post a picture that would be great, a great natural look for starters is Browns and Bronzes, blue eyes stand out beatifully with those colors. You could go with a light bronze eyehadow for the day, (entire Lid) and for eye pencil Deep Brown Bark. Smudge the pencil once in its in place and it will give you a smoky eye, but very natural look.

Using your middle finger, rub it into the eye shadow and then gently smooth it onto your eye lids. The best thing to do is to keep the eye lid closed and keep the other eye open so that you can see what you are doing.

Next, use your forth finger and blend the eye shadow into your skin. It will look more naturally done and it will last longer as it is setting into your skin.

When i apply eyeliner, i use my oppostie hand and stretch my eye lid to the side (it doesn't hurt!) and then using a pencil eyeliner i gently draw the lines in on the edges of my eye. I use my finger and i smudge it slightly so it creates a slight smoky effect on the eye area.

When applying eyeliner, you can also steady your hand by resting your pinky finger on your cheek.
Applying eyeshadow with a brush instead of those little sponge applicators that come in the package will allow you to get a softer, sheerer application for a good daytime look.

Hi Denise,
Well, start apply make up was confusing task for my younger sister as well. I'm not much of an expert in those matters myself, so I found her this very helpful article: Color Selecting I do hope it'll help you too.

1. Apply a light eyeshadow over your entire eyelid from lash line to eyebrow bone, but not beyond.
2. Define the crease of your eyelid using a medium or dark shade. The deeper the shade, the more dramatic look.
3. To open up your eyes so that they appear livelier, place a dot of a light shade in the inner corner of each eye.
