Step by Step Tutorial
- Prime the eyes with Benefit F.Y…Eye primer by dabbing a small amount of the product on the eye area.
- Start off with MAC Constructivist Paint Pot and dab the pigment on the lids. Get MAC 217 brush and blend, aiming to define the edges of the crease.
- Take Sigma SS 252 brush and line the lower lash line with MAC Constructivist Paint Pot.
- Choose Caught in the Act Courtney from The Balm Shady Lady Eye Shadow Palette and apply it with Sigma 239 brush on the lid area closest to the upper lash line.
- Define the outer crease with the pigment Shameless Shana from The Balm Shady Lady Eye Shadow Palette. Get MAC 219 brush and apply the same pigment on the lower lash line on the outer corners.
- Now choose Jet-Setting Jennifer from the The Balm Shady Lady Eye Shadow Palette and apply with MAC 219 brush again this time on the tear ducts. Highlight the brow bones with the same pigment with an angled brush.
- For additional shimmer, get MAC Tan Pigment and apply with a MAC 222 brush on the outer crease area.
- Take MAC Chromaline in Black Black (Pro) and line the upper lashes.
- Use Bee Lushious Lashes Mascara for the lashes.
- Apply NARS Madly powder blush right on the cheeks and put MAC So Ceylon Mineralized Skinfinish on top of it with MAC 187 brush.
- Swipe the lips with MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick and layer with Backlit 3D glass.
