Gleaming eyes
A mere hint of brilliance on lids imparts big-time glamour.
(That means it’s possible for you to dance the evening away and skip the touch-ups!)
To replicate: Brush on shadow until color fades into your lids' crease.
(Try pearl or silver if you’re pale; gold or bronze for dark skin.)
Use an eyeliner brush to trace a thin swath of color close to your upper lash line.
Max out on mascara.Dark, full lashes are a must to offset glimmery eyes.
(You’ll use less, so it’s economical, too.)
Comb out clumps, then cover lower lashes with clear mascara to avoid raccoon eyes.
