 How To: I started by applying the lightest color in the shadow duo from lid to brow bone. I used the deep maroon hue in my crease, smoking out and smudging under my lower lash line. I wet an eyeliner brush and dabbed into the cake liner then applied on my upper lash line with a slight wing at the end to create a “kitten eye”. The Shimmer Block acted as a multifunctional product: I used the lightest shade as a highlighter on brow bone and cheekbone (applied with my finger), and carefully mixed together all 4 shades with a blush brush to apply on my cheekbones for definition (great for shading too – just add the lightest shimmer under and over cheekbones and the darker colors on the apples). This seemed a bit dark at first, so I wiped off any additional color with a tissue and gently rubbed in the remainder with my fingers. The burgundy mascara was great fun – and eye popping! I focused on the tips of the upper lashes for a touch of color. Lastly, I applied the lipstick, a shimmery rosy-red to lips. This entire look screams “drama!”

Did You Know: Skip the shadow and just use the liner on top lashes for a less dramatic look. This cake liner makes it incredibly easy to do a cat eye, so have fun lining your lids!

    To me this says autumn romance. Very feminine while keeping a seasonally appropriate eye for color. Beautiful
