Introduction
Begin by applying a neutral eye primer to ensure pigment longevity. Apply a light "transition" shade—such as a dusty rose or soft mauve—throughout the upper socket using a fluffy blending brush. This creates the gradient necessary for a romantic, blown-out finish.
Using a dense blending brush and a deeper "Valentine" shade—think cranberry, deep plum, or burgundy—stipple the color directly against the edge of the Crease Piece. Sweep the color outward toward the temple. Once the tool is removed, you are left with a sharp, crisp line and a perfectly clean lid.
