• Mix the and the for a custom finish. I absolutely love this combo!
• Blend out with a beauty sponge.
• Color correct under eye circles with the in Peach.
• Conceal with the under the eyes and around the face.
• Set the concealer, and “bake” a little under the eyes with the NYC Loose Powder. Not available anymore, but the Maybelline Fit Me loose powder is one that’s quickly replaced it!

I started with the Milani palette and buffed in more of the warm tones into the crease, and to create a little definition. I used the more mauve matte tones in the Cover Girl palette, the rose gold shimmery shade on the lid, and the pearlescent shade to highlight the inner corner and the brow bone.
• Lightly line the upper lash line and the lower waterline with the . This is my holy grail eyeliner of all time! I just love it.
• Apply two coats of the . Have you tried it yet? It seriously is a dupe for the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara!
• Put on a pair of Ardell Demi Wispies false eyelashes. If you are a beginner, make sure to check out my How to Apply False Eyelashes tutorial!
