*Our trick: When lining the top lid, squint one eye so it’s almost closed and apply the liner exactly on the lash line (where your lashes meet your eye).

 

Determine your palette

*Our trick: Apply the darkest tone you’re using nearest the eye. As you move up toward the crease, use a softer shade that’s in the same scheme.

 

Volumize and Intensify
