Prep
Step 1: Prep and prime eyelid

Define Eyes
Step 1: Apply shadow to crease and lower lash line
Take a brown shade from the COVERGIRL So Saturated Palettes to define your crease and accentuate your lower lash line.
Step 2: Enhance crease and lash line
Use a smaller brush to apply a deeper brown shade to the crease region and extend outwards. Afterwards, run the deeper brown shade across your lower lash line.
Step 3: Add depth to crease
Use the deepest brown to add depth to the crease. This shadow should be applied in a more concentrated fashion than the first two shades.

Step 5: Shape crease
Carve and fill the shape of your cut crease with Full Spectrum All Day Idol- Brightening Concealer.

Take a deep plum shade from the So Saturated Palette to add color to the lower inner and outer corner of your eyes.

Apply a burgundy shade from the So Saturated Palette to the lower inner and outer corners of your eyes, right above the plum shade.
Step 8: Highlight eyes
