EYE SHADOW & PALETTES

Our full spectrum of singular shadows and sets in a variety of colors and finishes to shade, define, and highlight eyes.

When putting on eye shadow, start by selecting colors that complement your look. Using an eye shadow kit or palette gives you a selection of shades to choose from. Once you select your colors, begin brushing the first shade over your entire lid. Then, take your eye shadow brush and work another shade across the crease of your lid. The order you apply your colors will depend on the final look you want to achieve.

To get the look, start by applying a midrange shade on your lid from your lash line to just past your crease and along your lower lash line, blending to blur any edges. Next, apply eyeliner close to your lash lines, slightly extending past the outer corner. Then blend a second eye shadow color just above the top edge of your eyeliner and along your lower lash line, and smudge to soften. Finally, finish with mascara to complete the look.

Finally, add eyeliner and mascara to complete the look.
