1. Eyeliner Magic:
We kick things off with eyeliner. While not everyone feels the need to use it, I find that even a subtle eyeliner can pull a look together beautifully. I love using Onyx ShadowSense and a small angled brush. It's quick, easy, and adds that extra oomph to your eyes. I also sometimes use an eyeliner pencil but find I have more control with my angled brush.

2. Lash Primer for Luscious Lashes:
Lash primer is a game-changer. I never apply mascara without it. Primer not only thickens, lengthens, and volumizes your lashes instantly but also conditions them over time. Plus, it's formulated with lash growth ingredients that can make your lashes grow up to 46% longer in just four weeks.

3. Achieving an Airbrushed Finish:
The right translucent powder can do wonders for your makeup look. I save under-eye powdering for last because it's crucial for preventing creasing and cracking. The translucent powder I use is finely milled, providing an airbrushed finish that blurs imperfections and sets your makeup flawlessly.

4. Brightening Your Inner Corners:
One of my favorite finishing touches is brightening the inner corners of your eyes. I use Snow ShadowSense or a similar shade to add that extra sparkle and dimension.

5. Medium Powder and Blush:
Sometimes, a little extra boost of color is all you need to complete your look. You can use powder blush to enhance the cream blush you applied earlier, giving you that perfect flush of color.

6. Mascara Magic:
I love this non-waterproof mascara version and how it holds up in various conditions. This mascara not only elevates your lash game but also supports lash growth without irritating sensitive eyes.
