HOW TO BLEND EYESHADOW STEP 1: APPLY EYESHADOW BASE & BLEND
Take a richly colored eyeshadow pen and tap the sponge tip applicator, already loaded with color, onto eyelids. Use your finger or a clean, dry eyeshadow brush to blend color deeper into lids, fading it to a wash. Color should be richer along the lash line, fading out into a sheer, seamless veil right above the crease.

HOW TO BLEND EYESHADOW STEP 2: ADD ANOTHER LAYER OF EYESHADOW
Now that you're all blended and faded to perfection, take that same eyeshadow shade and add another layer of it just in the inner and outer corners of eyes. Blend and soften the edges with an eyeshadow brush.
