Steps

1. Apply Smashbox Photo Finish Eyeshadow Primer all over the lid as a base. You can either use your fingers or a flat synthetic brush (e.g. MAC 242).

2. Take a crease/blender brush (e.g. MAC 217) and pat Gilbert on to the outer part of the lid.  Lightly drag Gilbert into the outer v of the eye to create a slight ‘v’ shape and add extra shape to the eyes.

3. Take a crease/blender brush (e.g. MAC 217) and sweep Life into the crease.

4. Take a flat shader brush (e.g. MAC 239) and pat Peace on to the lids.

5. Take a crease/blender brush (e.g. MAC 217) and lightly sweep Culture on the inner crease part of the eye.

6. Using a crease/blender brush (e.g. MAC 217) or a pointed crease brush (e.g. MAC 226), sweep Milk on to the browbone to highlight.

7. Take an angled liner brush (e.g. MAC 266) and apply Peace along the lower lashline.

8.  Apply your face, cheek and lip products to finish off the look (suggestions given above in the ‘Products’ section).

9. Apply plenty of black mascara to the top and bottom lashes.
