Application steps

  1. 01

    Keep the upper lid clean

    Use only a neutral veil above the eye so the lower color has space.

  2. 02

    Place emerald outside

    Press emerald under the outer half of the lower lashes, keeping the inner third bare.

  3. 03

    Smoke downward

    Soften the lower edge by one brush width and clean any color that travels too low.

02 · No-purchase alternatives

Use what you have

Brush → Sponge

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