    Matte depth underneath

    Lay a matte brown in the crease and outer corner for depth — it makes the metal look brighter.

    Foil it with a damp brush

    Mist your brush with setting spray — damp, not dripping. Press metallic shadow onto the center of the lid and build outward.

    Glossy nude lips

    Match the shine with a clear or nude gloss; keep the color light.

  5. health_and_safetyUse only shimmer or glitter labelled safe for the eye area — never craft glitter. The hair color is part of the styling in the photo. If you dye, do a patch test 48 hours before. Try any new product on your inner arm first. If redness, itching or irritation appears, stop using it and consult a dermatologist. Keep eye products out of the eyes.
