Shadow-As-Liner Trick Not just for lids anymore, this useful tip makes shadows multi-functional.

No Crease Shadow Prevent your shadow from creasing just like the experts do.

Apply your concealer, foundation and powder as you normally would. Need a hint? Check out steps 1-3 in our SUNLIGHT DONE RIGHT daytime look.
Start building a perfect base for a dark eye. First apply a sheer highlighting shadow from the lash line up to the brow bone.
Then using your ring finger, smudge a medium-toned taupe or brown shadow all over the lid up to the crease. A great smoky eye look should begin to build.
Next brush a medium-toned gray or silver shadow into the crease, blending it with the lid color. Create a soft line of this same shade below the lower lashes using the pointed tip of your shadow applicator.
Dip a clean, soft brush into a shimmery dark gray or brown shadow and dust all over the eyelids.
Trace a sharp, dark eye pencil along the upper and lower lash lines, making the line thicker towards the outer edges of the eye. Soften the lines by smudging them with a cotton swab or sponge-tipped applicator.
Apply two coats of lengthening mascara after curling the lashes with a lash curler.
To keep the focus on the eyes, top lips with a pinky-nude lipgloss. Subtle, shiny lip color won't compete with your eyes for attention, but will keep your lips looking full and finished.
