EASY ON THE EYES

POST + PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY NADINE, GRAPHIC DESIGN BY EUNICE CHUN

This is literally the easiest technique yet gives such a striking result! Typically we rim the inner waterline with black liner for drama or white/nude liner to open the eyes. But rimming it with a shadow stick opens up tons of different color options and adds another dimension to the look. I chose a metallic bronze shadow stick on Brook above because it’s incredibly sultry and stunning against any eye color. Here’s all you need to do:

1. Sweep a black powder shadow across the lid. You can also include the crease but typically it will travel there over time on its own.
2. Sweep the same shadow along your lower lashline.
3. Gently pull downwards on your lower lid with one hand and rim the inner waterline with the metallic shadow stick.
4. Coat the lashes with mascara.

You can try this with your favorites from your makeup drawer, but these are the ones I used for this look:

• MAC Eye Shadow Matte in Carbon
• Jouer Creme Eyeshadow Crayon in Baroque
• By Terry Ombre BlackStar Cream Eyeshadow in Bronze Moon (I didn’t use it on Brook above but it’s another gorgeous option!)
• Dior Diorshow New Look Mascara
