Level: Simple

Step by Step

1

Go to First Base

Start with Eye Studio® Color Explosion™ Luminizing Eyeshadow in Amethyst Ablaze. Find the base shade, located at the bottom of the pan, and apply it all over the upper lid, working it into the lid with a fluffy brush. Sweep up into the brow line.

2

Shades of Glory

Find the lid color, located in the left pan. Tap the shade onto the lid using the brush to build color. Concentrate on the ball of the lid, sweeping color out to the sides to blend.

3

The Bottom Line in Smoky

Apply the same shade you just used along your bottom lash line with a small angled brush, using short feathering strokes. Wrap around the entire eye.

4

Create a Smoky Crease

Find the crease shade, the color located in the right of the pan. Start from the middle of the lid and work the shade in and out in a windshield wiper motion, covering the eye.

5

Where There's Smoke, There's Finish

Press the darkest shade into the lash line using a flat, angled brush. Repeat under the eye and blend outward. For the most dramatic smoky look, finish with the luminizing top coat. Add Volum’ Express® The Falsies ™ Mascara, grabbing lashes at their base and brush up for a finishing touch. Voila! The perfect smoky eye!
