Application steps

  1. 01

    Mark a small wedge

    Place cobalt at the outer upper lashes no wider than the iris.

  2. 02

    Soften one edge

    Blend the upper edge upward by a few millimeters while keeping the lash edge saturated.

  3. 03

    Ground with brown

    Press brown between the lashes and keep lips neutral so cobalt remains the single color statement.

Use what you have

Brush → Sponge

For complexion and cheek steps, a clean damp sponge can press and soften instead of a brush.
