4 Steps to a Smoky Eye

Step 1
Apply a tick line of Aqua Shadow 0E pencil along the upper lash line and on the water line for maximum intensity.

Option A: Blend quickly upward using the fingertip in the crease of the eyelids, using forward and backward sweeping movements from the outer corner to the inner corner. Make sure to finish before the texture is dry.

Option B: For more precise result, used Brush 14S.

Step 3
Apply a line of Aqua Shadow 30E juxtaposed with Aqua Shadow 0E and blend the colors together using Brush 14S. Apply Aqua Shadow 30E to the brow bone for a highlight effect.
Tip: To intensity make up, apply Eye Shadows or Start Powders to the shadow.

Step 4
Apply Aqua Shadow 0E to the water line to add depth to the eyes. Draw a line along the lower lashes, blend downward using Brush 25.

I’ve learned something new. I might try out for my first week of classes.

BEAUTY CREATURES OF HABIT
When you find something you love do you buy a backup or get it in
every color? If so, then you understand the crushing impact of the
word “discontinued”—especially when it comes to your signature
lipstick or must-have eyeliner. Doubly so, if you missed the deep
markdown right before it got phased out. For such beauty creatures of
habit, Allure.com has a guide to determine how long you can store
unopened backups. Here’s the lowdown on makeup shelf life: concealer
lasts 2 to 3 years; eyeliner, 2 to 3 years; mascara, 12-18 months;
powders, 2 to 3 years, liquid foundation, up to two years (but check
for color striations which indicate time to toss); and lipstick, up to
2 years. Ideally, store in a cool, dry place—and, with that in mind,
hoard away!
