Instructions
1. Start by lining and filling your brows with NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder using an angled brow brush. Choose the color that best matches your eyebrow color.
2. With a round shadow brush, apply Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in “Cocoa Bear” to the crease of your eyelid. Use a blending brush to blend the shadow.
3. Use a flat shadow brush to pat on Anastasia Eyeshadow in “Fudge” to your eyelid.
4. Line your top lid with L.A. Girl Glide Gel Eyeliner Pencil in “Dark Brown.” Use Anastasia Eyeshadow in “Fudge” and a smudge brush to add to the line you created with the eyeliner pencil.
5. Use a small flat shadow brush to apply Morphe 8S Stellar Impact Highlighter Palette in “Mirage” to the middle of your eyelid.
6. Use your smudge brush again to pat on Anastasia Eyeshadow in “Noir” to the outer and inner corner of your eyes. Blend it with a blending brush or clean round shadow brush.
7. Add a little Colourpop Luster Dust Loose Highlighter in “Dew Drop” to the inner corner of your eye with a small flat shadow brush.
8. Draw a thin line of Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eyeliner on your upper lash line staying as close to your lashes as you can.
9. Brush on L’Oreal Voluminous Original Mascara to your lashes.
10. On your lower lash line, use L.A. Girl Glide Gel Eyeliner Pencil in “Dark Brown” to draw a line from the outer corner to the inner corner.
11. On top of your lower lash liner, add Morphe 8S Stellar Impact Highlighter Palette in “Mirage” using a small angled liner brush.
12. Next, apply false lashes. While this step is optional, false lashes will add a full, bold look to your lashes.
13. Finish off this look with a dab of Fenty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in “Fenty Glow” on the middle of your lids. This will give your eye look a warm glow.
