There are four types of Copic marker - sketch, ciao, wide, and classic. For hand lettering, the wide marker with a chisel nib is a good choice.  Working on good paper is also essential for hand-lettering. When practicing, plain printer paper works just fine. Because Copic markers are alcohol-based, they won’t destroy or erode regular paper like water-based markers do. You may also use grid paper if you want to ensure the straightness and uniformity of your letters. Wide Copic markers are good for practicing easy, larger fonts. Learning hand-lettering is also one of the best ways to learn how to line draw and shade. Beginners can learn by working on simpler fonts and eventually moving onto fancier lettering as they improve. Try a font that is familiar to you first. Choose one you like from a book or one that you’ve found online. Draw it in a larger size with a pencil first, then go over it in Copic marker. Start with the lightest shade, then add darker shades on top. Choose colors from the same color family when blending, such as a light blue and dark blue. Always begin with the lightest color as the base, then add on layers of the darker color. Colorless blender markers will help create seamless, shaded letters. You can also create unique effects by smearing the edges of each letter with the blender.

Use eyeshadows light in color, such as champagne golds or pinks, to make your eyes look brighter and more full. For the eye that appears smaller, apply powder eyeshadow a little bit higher up on your eyelid so that your eyes appear more symmetrical. You can also apply little dabs of light-colored eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eyes to make them look bigger. If your eyes aren’t symmetrical, you don’t have to apply your eyeliner exactly the same on each eyelid. Try using a thicker line on the droopier eye, and a thinner line on the opposite eye — this line should be further down, filling in the gaps where your eyelashes are. To make your eyelid look higher up, apply lengthening mascara to your top lashes. You only need to apply it to the eye that droops more.  To make your eyelashes curl up, use a heated mascara wand or simply heat up your mascara using a hairdryer before applying it. Lengthening mascara can be found at most drug stores or big-box stores, and costs $5-$20. A heated mascara wand ranges in price from $15-$30, and can be found at beauty stores or online. Eyelid tape helps hold up your upper eyelids so that they don't sag. These thin adhesive strips are usually clear and small enough that they aren’t super visible or uncomfortable. Eyelid tape comes in many different brands and can be found at most beauty stores or big-box stores, as well as online. Eyelid tape typically costs $5-$25.
