1. Prepare the eyelid
Apply a light shade all over the eyelid to smooth and create a uniform base.

2. Create dimension
Blend medium to deeper shades to structure the gaze by emphasizing areas of depth, such as the eyelid crease or outer corner.

3. Play with finishes
Dab a shimmering shade on the center of the eyelid or inner corner of the eye to bring light and enhance the gaze dimension.

4. Define or intensify
Enhance the intensity along the upper and lower lashes and/or in the inner corner of the eye as desired. Blend the edges for a perfectly homogeneous finish.

Pro tips
Work the color in thin layers, starting with the lightest shades before gradually adding darker shades for the desired intensity.
To intensify and structure the gaze, apply dark matte shades along the lashes and in the eyelid crease.
To enlarge and brighten the gaze, layer light and/or shimmering shades all over the eyelid and in the inner corner of the eye.
The darker the shade, the more precise the brush should be: use a wide, soft brush (such as the Finishing Pony Tail Brush or the All Over Eye Color Brush) to diffuse the shades across the entire eyelid. For darker shades, opt for a smaller, denser brush (such as the Eye Crease Brush) to preserve the pigment intensity. Lastly, for precise application along the lashes, use a flat brush with short bristles (such as the Smudge Brush or the Flat Eye Liner Brush).
