How stunning is this?


I’ve taken some of the metallic shadow under my lower lashes as well, to balance it out. That’s optional though.


I do all the blending with my finger, for speed. Of course you can apply and blend the shadows with a brush, if you prefer.


Experiment with different color tones too. This looks amazing with a purple base, for example.
