For deeper shades, blending is your friend. Brushes are super important to get a smooth finish in the crease and across the lid
Not all deep shades have to be bold and graphic. Blend out the deep mattes with a fluffy brush to give definition and shape to the eyes without overtaking the entire makeup look
For soft daytime looks, build a light base using matte shades, adding a shimmery eyeshadow topper across the lid using your finger or a flat brush or sponge applicator
The toppers and metallics can also be used to line the lower lash line or add to inner corners for a soft highlight to keep eyes looking big and bright
