Description

Instructions

  1. Small 1

    Apply a neutral colored base coat or primer to the lid, from the lash line clear to the brow. I am using Painterly by MAC.

  2. Small 2

    Apply a shimmery color from the lash line up until you almost reach the crease, from inner corner to outer corner, covering the entire lid. I am using Satin Taupe by MAC. *Tip: If you want your eyeshadow more vibrant, mix it with a drop of water before you apply it.

  3. Small 3

    Apply a dark matte color in the crease, starting in the outer corner and fading in. I am using Carbon by MAC.

  4. Small 4

    Apply the same shimmery color across your lower lash line, from inner corner to outer corner.

  5. Small 5

    Apply black liner in the water line from inner corner to outer corner. I am using Engraved by MAC.

  6. Small 6

    Finish with black mascara.
