1. Lighten Up. Use a brush to sweep the entire eyelid with the oyster-colored shadow, extending it up to the brow. Dab into the inner corners and the tear duct area to brighten up that area and “open up” your eyes!
2. Don’t Get Stuck in the Middle. Pat your ring finger into the bronze cream shadow, and dab a small amount onto the middle of the lid. Gently blend with your finger toward the outer corner.
3. Create a Cute Crease. Use a brush to blend the pink shadow from the outer third of lid up into the crease, creating a sideways “V” pattern. Blend and buff so there are no visible harsh edges.
4. Line Away! Apply the eyeliner close to the eyelashes across the entire upper lid. At the outer corner, extend the line up to a 45-degree angle, tapering off to a point as you go.
Bonus Tip: Rest your elbow onto a hard surface while lining to help stabilize your hand and avoid jerky lines! Make a mistake? No worries – just retrace your original line and fatten it out to cover the snafu.

Hm – I don't think I have a photo of this with the eye closed since I took them so long ago. The sideways V looks like >. So when your eye is closed, the bottom of the ">" touches the outer bottom corner of your closed upper lid, then the point hits a random mark outside up to the crease of your lid, and the top line of the ">" is in your eyelid crease. I know that is hard to explain, and I promise I'll do another shadow post soon showing what it means!
Is it possible to get a look at this with the eye closed? I'm not sure what the sideways "V" description really means. Thanks!
