1. Brighten the eyes by applying Pixelated Color® Eyelighter under the eyes and on top of the eye lids using the Precision Baking Brush.
2. Define the eyes by applying a thin line of Velvet Touch® Eye Pencil in brown to the top and bottom lash lines. Soften the look using the Eye Smudger Brush to buff and blend the eye pencil on the lower lash line.
3. Frame the eyes by filling brows using the Kumadori® Dual Ended Brow Pencil. Start by using the angled tip to shape and define the top and bottom edge of your brow. Next use the oval tip to mimic hair and fill in sparse areas.
