  Step 1

  Step 2

  Start with the lightest shade and dust it over the entire lid space, from the brow all the way down to the lash line.

  **If your lightest shade is a cream or white color, then this step is possible, if it is a darker pink like in the duo above, then it’s best to leave the highlight area (directly under the brow) completely clean of shadow.

• 

  Step 3

  With the next lightest shade, sweep this color over the entire lid, from the crease down to the lash line.

• 

  Step 4

  Using the next darkest shade, create an upside down arch shape in the “transition area” (the space from just above the crease to just below the crease).

  **Not shown: Blend out this line with the large fluffy brush to smooth any lines or edges.

• 

  Step 5

  Next, using the darkest shade in the palette, create the look of liner sweeping color along the lash line and slightly extending it past the outer edge and up towards the tip of the eye brow. This creates the effect of eyeliner but without the use of actual liner.

• 

  Step 6

  Now go back with the lightest shade and dust this in the inner corner. **Keeping the inner corner a lighter shade will help keep the eyes from looking closed off or appearing too close together. Both no bueno when dealing with hooded eyes.

• 

  Step 7

  With the next lightest shades, sweep this along the inner 1/3 of the lower lash line.

• 

  Step 8

  Then, using the next darkest shade, dust it in the center of the lower lash line.

• 

  Step 9

  Lastly, with the darkest shade, sweep this along the outer 1/3 of the lower lash line, connecting it to the same shade on the top of the lid.

• 

  Step 10

  Repeat steps 1 through 8 with the other finishing with a few swipes of mascara.

• Step 11

  Repeat steps 1-6 on the other eye. Swipe on some liner and mascara to finish the look.
