Eye Shadow for Heavy-Lidded Eyes
  • Dip a flat brush into a dark shadow, then smudge it along the upper lashes. Wiggle the brush so the color sinks into the base of the lashes. This will make the whites of your eyes seem brighter.

  • With the remaining shadow on the brush, lightly line the lower lashes to even out the look.

  • Tip: If your shadow tends to crease by midday, apply an eyelid primer as a first step. Try Benefit F.Y…Eye! ($22, www.benefitcosmetics.com).
