Use the MUG Outer V Brush to apply a small amount of Cocoa Bear to the outer v part of the eye and give depth to the look. Use a smudger brush to apply a small amount of Bada Bing over the outer part of the lower eyelid coming in 1/3 of the way. Use the color Appletini under the eye coming in very little. Follow up using Mermaid and then use Neptune under the rest of the eye. Pat the color Poolside over the lower waterline of the eye. For the dramatic winged liner, used the gel liner in Electric and create a winged liner on the upper lash-line. Bring the liner to a point on the inner corner creating a sort of “beak”.? Curl your lashes, add mascara and a pair of wispy lashes like the Ardell False Lashes #110.
