  • apply #1 all over your lid, up to brown bone with your finger. This is the primer
  • with a flat, stiff brush, apply #2 all over your lid, staying under your crease
  • blend #3 into the crease, on your outer V. Also press it into your lash line with an angled brush and blend down to your lower lash line about 3/4 of the way
  • apply #4 to your brow bone to highlight
  • apply the white eyeliner from the Photoready Kajal Intense Eyeliner + Brightener in Blue Nile to your lower water line and to your inner corner until you’ve reached where you stopped #3
  • with an angle brush, apply #5 to your inner corner, layered on top the the white liner in the step above
  • finish the look with Revlon Lash Potion in Blackest Black (note: I am wearing lash extensions + Lash Potion)
  • Makeup Forever Aqua Brow in #25

LIPS

  • Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Naked
