A fool proof technique for eyes that go from understated to making a statement. To apply your favorite bareMinerals liner shadow, start by finding the natural little groove you have between the beginning of your lashes and edge of your eye lid. Then, take a soft line by resting the side of the liner brush there all the way across. Make a more dramatic statement by dampening the liner brush, mixing your liner shadow into a liquid liner in the lid, and applying across the lash line as above. Remember, a little goes a very long way.
Bare Escentuals Helpful hints:
bareMinerals glimmers... guaranteed to put a sparkle in your eye! Use a blending brush with Celestine or sass in the center of the eyelid to brighten and make your eyes twinkle. While you're at it, dust a little on the cheekbone as a highlighter and dip buzz latte into the color to give lips a shimmer.
...for a little extra flash, use 2000 or evny with a liner brush to line your eyes. Also, try a little true told or devotion with a contour shadow brush in the crease of your eye. You'll be the center of attention, and the light of the night.
bareMinerals eye shadows...as a contour or accent shadow: Use a contour shadow brush to apply violet sky or 1990 eye shadow to the contour of your eyelid. To accent and uplift the corners of your eye, use a shadow brush to blend mermaid or graphite in a sideways shape pointing slightly upwards.
