1) Keep the darkest colores close to the (outer) lashline. Anything too dark beyond your crease, rising towards your brow, looks crazy.
2) If shadow ends up too close to the brow, loose powder can be used over the edges to make it disappear a bit. It won’t rid of it completely, but it will hide it pretty well if you’ve applied too much.
3) Never underestimate tight lining. I prefer to use gel liner, but pencil is easier for someone just starting out.
4) The bigger (not clumpier) the lashes, the better.
5) When in doubt, I apply a thin line of super smudge-able liner to my lash line and blend with a pencil brush. The result is super smokey, and looks great.
