Bigger, more beautiful eyes are only a few steps away!

Step 1

Apply a small amount of Smooth Out Eye Prime to the centre of the eyelid and use your finger tip to smooth onto the eyelid. This prepares the eyelid by smoothing it to ensure shadows look better.

Step 2

Using a brush, apply a light shade of No Shimmer Eye Shadow to the main part of the eyelid.

Step 3

Apply a mid tone eye shadow into and slightly above the socket line to open up the eye and make it look bigger.

Step 4

Take a small wedge brush and the darkest tone eye shadow to create a line along the top and bottom lashes. This will create the illusion of thicker eyelashes in the most flattering way.
