step by step

1

Caffeine Prep

Start with Eye Studio® Master Drama™ Cream Pencil in Bold Brown. Rather than lining your eyes with standard precision, use the pencil as a basecoat for your shadow to make it last longer. Loosely draw on color at the corners and lash line, then blend with your fingers over the entire lid.

2

Caffeine Rush

To create a soft, smoky look, use Eye Studio® Color Explosion™ Eyeshadow in Caffeine Rush. Sweep the lightest shade across the lid and brow bone. Then, using the edge of your brush, apply the darkest shade close to the lash line and outer corners. Finish with the medium shade, blending in the crease.

3

An Extra Shot

To complete the eye look, finish off with Volum’ Express® The Falsies™ Mascara in Very Black. Apply with a light hand, moving side to side to coat from base to tip. Add multiple coats and repeat on lower lashes. Don’t be shy!

4

Shimmer

For a healthy glow, dust Fit Me™ Bronzer in Medium along cheekbones. Using a brush, sweep in an upward, diagonal motion.

5

And Shine

Add an extra sheen with Shine Sensational™ Lip Gloss in Cherry Kiss. Apply with a brush, starting in the center of your upper lip. Work outward, following the contour of your mouth for a totally luscious finish!
