Finally, an easy way to decode those complicated tutorials.
Eyeliner, eyeshadow,
blending brushes — oh my! Learning to use eye makeup is no easy task,
even for seasoned beauty buffs. If you have a tough time decoding all
those tricky makeup tutorials, we have an easy guide to each part of the
eye so you know where all those eyeliners, mascaras, eyeshadows, etc.
should go:

Brow bone/highlight
If you want your brows to "pop" and open up your eye area, you can add a matte or shimmery pale eyeshadow directly under the brow.
Lid
Typically,
your main shade or shades of eyeshadow go on your eyelid, but you can
get creative with your eyeliner here, as well. Some people have a lot of
space here, while others have very little — it varies from person to
person.
Crease
Between
your brow bone and eyelid, applying a darker shade of eyeshadow here,
right along your eye socket, adds dimension to your eye. Tip: If you
have hooded eyes, play with different placements for crease shadow,
opening your eyes after each test to see which placement makes your
crease shadow visible.

Outer V
The
outermost corner of the eye where eyeliner or deeper shades of
eyeshadow are typically applied in a "V" shape, though you can blend
your makeup into a "C" shape for a softer effect.
Upper lashline
Right
along and above the edges of your upper eyelid where your eyelashes
begin, you can define your eye with eyeliner or eyeshadow, or even simply mascara.
Waterline
The inner rim of the eye, the waterline can be host to dark eyeliner to add a smokey look or pale nude eyeliner to make the eye look wider and more awake.

Lower lashline
Just below the waterline, your lower lashline is where liner and shadow can be applied to define the eyes.
Tear duct
This is the inner corner of the eye, and where you can add a little pale or shimmery shadow here to open things up.
