This multi-action primer’s balmy formula instantly blurs visible pores, evens out texture, and soaks up and controls any excess oil. A pea-sized amount is perfect to create a silky-smooth canvas –– giving you a healthy-looking finish.
Step 2 - With an eyeshadow brush, tap a little black eyeshadow on the outer corners of your eyes and the grey eyeshadow into your crease and blend the two shades together. You can top off the eyeshadow colours some more, to increase the intensity of the smokey eye. Add a hint of gold to the brow bone and inner corners of the eyes to make them pop a little.
