Does anybody have any tips on using the Nars Night Series Mini Palette?

You can use each of the colors on their own or combine them for many different combinations of looks. In general, mid tones would be applied to the lid, darker colors in the crease and along the lash lines, and light colors along the brow bone as a highlighter. My number one choice for this combination would be Night Fairy on the inner half of the eyelid, blending into Night Rider on the outer half of the eyelid, with Night Clubbing in the crease and Night Snow as the highlight shade.

How many grams is the Nars Blush?

Just the normal powder one which costs 拢18.50.


Can anyone tell me how much it weighs, in grams?


Thank-you =] xHow many grams is the Nars Blush?
Sephora lists the size as 0.16 oz, which is 4.53592 g.





Hope it helps!

What professional make-up brushes Chanel or Nars?

I'm a qualified Beauty Therapist and i'm wanting to undertake a course on how to apply fashion and photography make-up, which of the above brushes would you recommend me to purchase?What professional make-up brushes Chanel or Nars?
My advice is to buy brushes because you like the shape, tension, materials used etc. My brush kit has loads of different makes because I need the brushes to perform differently. For example I prefer a synthetic brush for blending so I have a medium brush for concealer, cream eyeshadow etc and a larger one for foundation, cream blusher etc. I like pony tail for powder and sable for powder eyeshadow. Makes range from Nars, Laura Mercier, Glauca Rossi, Ruby Hammer and I even have brushes from art shops. It sounds as though I have a lot of brushes but I have a pony tail brush and a sable one for powder, two blusher brushes - one rounded and one square edged, a small powder brush for nooks and crannies, two square tipped lipstick brushes, a large and two medium eyeshadow brushes, a square tipped eyeliner brush and a pointed liquid liner one, a small short haired brush for eye detail, a round bristle eyebrow/lash brush, a rounded sponge blending brush and a foundation brush and sponges - all kept in a leather brush roll with eyebrow tweezers.





I hope this helps.

XWhat professional make-up brushes Chanel or Nars?
I have not used Nars brushes so cant really comment on them. Channel brushes are very good but the best make up brushes I have used are Mac.


Maybe a combination of different brushes would be a good idea, go to a department store with lots of make-up counters and test their brushes on the back of your hand with make-up so you can get a feel for which ones feel easier for you to use(some cheaper brushes can be surprisingly good), if you can't decide which ones to buy then I'd suggest Mac.
I would reccomed Bobbi Brown make up brushes - a television make up artist reccommened them to me and I wouldnt use anything else
Mac are going to be the best and the most affordable compared to Nars or Chanel.
Out of those two i'd say Chanel, although Bobbi Brown does excellent brushes, as do Mac, which i'd recommend more than the other 2.
none MAC make up brushes are amazing. ive used them for years!!
M.A.C.





NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

Is Nars creme blush in orgasm a good buy?

is nars creme blush in orgasm a good buy? How long does it last? because I don't want to spend $37 on a blush if it is going to be gone in a month...and does it last all day? or does it rub off easy?Is Nars creme blush in orgasm a good buy?
ORGASM is always a safe bet, and it will last you a lifetime.

Is NARS cream blush in orgasm worth the $37 that it costs?

i really want to buy some but not if it is going to be a waste of $37


any help?Is NARS cream blush in orgasm worth the $37 that it costs?
When you use a powder blush, use a little liquid foundation on your cheeks first. So no matter what color you choose, it'll show up and stay on so much better. I have never tried Nars, but I will tell you there is no difference between a $7 blush and a $40 blush. And that's coming from someone who sells high end makeup for a living, What kind of skintone do you have? When you squeeze your fist for 15 seconds and open it, whatever the color of your skin is, that's your best blush color.Is NARS cream blush in orgasm worth the $37 that it costs?
No. You are paying so much because this color has risen to cult status because of its unusual name. Many people, including me, find this color too bright and kind of scary on their skin. I paid $25.00 for the powder version about five years ago, and I hardly ever wear it. I don't recommend it. I recommend L'Oreal True Match Superblendable Blush in Innocent Flush. It's a beautiful color, and it only costs $10.00.
Depends on your coloring. I'm a MAC NC45 and the Orgasm blush barely shows up on me. But a friend of mine is MAC NC30 and it looks really pretty on her.
Yes!


Orgasm is such a pretty color.


I loved it when I had it,


and I'd totally suggest it.
yess I use it and it leaves your complexion really natural and smooth looking. I love it it is worth every penny

    Nars powder blush or multiple in orgasm?

    I do not know which to get, the powder or the cream to pwoder multiple stick.


    The powder is 25$


    and the cream to powder is 37$


    which should i get?


    im fair, pale, with blonde hairNars powder blush or multiple in orgasm?
    Hi, I'm a makeup artist at Sephora. I have both of these products. It all depends what kind of product you are looking for and which you feel compliments your skin type the best.





    The blush offers a range of translucent, natural shades, each with a subtle pink for natural blush undertone, created to highlight the complexion.





    The Multiple is the original all-in-one, cream-to-powder, multi-purpose makeup stick. With fingertip application, it highlights, sculpts, and warms eyes, cheeks, lips, and body in an array of shades from sheer accents to mauve and bronze.





    I use the blush for everyday use and the Multiple when I go out at night because it has more color pigments in the formla.





    Hope this helps! =)Nars powder blush or multiple in orgasm?
    I have both. Buy the powder PLEASE. The multiple cream stick works really good and you can use it on your lips, eyes, and cheeks but if you have to get one or the other get the bronzer/orgasm powder blush. It lasts FOREVER. I wear it everyday and its lasted I think over a year now. It's beautiful, the light goldish pink accentuates the bronze and really defines your cheekbones and it doesnt rub off or look 'streaked' on. Trust me on this !!
    I like the powder much better than the multiple ... it does not dry to a powder and it can be kinda greasy. Nothing dries to a powder that you can put on your lips. If you have oily skin or tend to breakout, the powder will be a better option. If you have drier skin, the multiple will be better for you.
    The multiple is not cream to powder. It's a cream blush/lipstick/eyeshadow, but it doesn't turn to powder. Also, if you use it as a lipstick it's a bit drying.
    the powder works fine, but cream definitely lasts longer.





    so i don't really know if its worth the $12 difference, i would just spring for the powder.

    Has anyone ever used Nars makeup brushes?

    How are they? Do you like them or should I stick with mac's brushes?Has anyone ever used Nars makeup brushes?

  • Please answer all questions below, NARS or MAC?

    I am looking for something with less intensity in all of the following categories. Please mention the ';smudgyness'; of the eye shadows.


    Lipstick?


    Lip gloss?


    Blush?


    Eyeliner?


    Mascara?


    Eye Shadow?Please answer all questions below, NARS or MAC?
    Lipstick -- MAC. MAC has a better selection, and NARS lipsticks I find to be very drying.





    Lip gloss -- MAC again, better selection, less sticky, and longer lasting.





    Blush -- NARS. MAC has nice blush, but NARS has amazing colors that go well with any skin tone and are well-pigmented.





    Eyeliner -- MAC. Never tried NARS, but I know that MAC makes amazing eyeliners.





    Mascara -- MAC, but I'd go for another brand than MAC or NARS for mascara. Try Urban Decay or Este Lauder.





    Eye Shadow -- Both make fantastic eyeshadows in many, many colors. Some NARS shadows can be really glittery though, so be careful with that. Both can be smuged easily.





    You mentioned you wanted less intensity, but both these brands make very pigmented products, so when shopping, test the products to make sure they aren't too intense for you (some things don't look intense in the packaging, but they are when they're on), and when you use the product, just use a small amount, because MAC and NARS make very layerable products, so you can use a very small amount or a lot for a more severe look, which is obviously not what you are looking for.





    Good luck!Please answer all questions below, NARS or MAC?
    My favorite brands for the following items are:





    1. Lipstick= Lorac


    I love Lorac's cream lipsticks. My favorite color is ';Baby Doll'; which is the best pale pink/ nude color I've ever found. I like that this lipstick doesn't dry my lips out because I have such dry lips. It also provides good coverage and lasts long unlike most others.





    2. Lip Gloss= Smashbox


    Their lip enhancing gloss is the best on the market. They come in three categories: True color, full color, and sheer color. Depending on what you want in a gloss, you choose from one of those categories. Full color is full coverage gloss on your lips. True color is well -true color! It looks just like it does in the tube. Sheer color is just well -sheer. It's like a tint of the color from the tube. These are extremely moisturizing and long lasting glosses. I love that with these glosses, what you see is what you get. You can never go wrong with these.





    3. Blush= Nars


    My favorite shade is ';Oasis'; although lots of people like ';Orgasm.'; This blush is perfect. It goes on smoothly and not ';splotchy'; like others. It's very easy to apply with little work because of the great formula.





    4. Eyeliner= MAC


    Honestly, I have not found my perfect pencil liner yet but the best so far has been MAC's fluidline, which is a gel liner. It's a hassle having to use it every day because it takes a little more work since I have to use a make-up brush but it stays put all day -on my waterline.





    5. Mascara= YSL/ Prestige (for cheaper alternative)


    The best mascara I've ever used is Yves Saint Laurent False Lash in the gold tube. I have the shortest, thinnest lashes ever and people often ask if I'm wearing fake lashes when I have this stuff on. It's lengthens, volumizes, and holds a good curl. I use NYC's $3 lash curler which for me, works better than my Shu Uemura one. My second favorite mascara is Prestige's ';My Biggest Lashes'; which is in a pink tube with black writing. This stuff measures up to the YSL, but the YSL is just slightly better. It does what the YSL will do for a cheaper price.





    6. Eye Shadow= Nars %26amp; Lorac


    All time favorite shadows are Nars and Lorac. They both are highly pigmented and come in the prettiest colors. I love neutrals and Lorac always has a wide variety of neutral shadows. They are super easy to blend and last a long time. For a primer, I recommend Too Faced ';Shadow Insurance.'; Urban Decay Primer Potion is good too but Primer Potion is more difficult to use due to their packaging. Too Faced is good for people with dry skin. Primer Potion is good for oily skin.





    Hope this helps =)
    everything Mac! I know that sounds cliche, but seriously... Mac has great quality products especially their eyeshadows are highly pigmented and awesome!

    Which lipstick is lighter nars BELLE DE JOUR or HONOLULU HONEY?

    How do NARS eyeshadows compare to MAC's?

    I love the pigment, texture, and price of MAC's eyeshadows. Has anyone used both MAC and NARS? What is your input? I also like Urban Decay but they don't have the variety that MAC offers and are a little more expensive.How do NARS eyeshadows compare to MAC's?
    Urban Decay's collections are more youthful, due to the amount of sparkle and shimmer that they put into their products.


    NARS and MAC are mostly the same and share the same wide variety of bold shades and gorgeous glosses.


    But then again, mac is cheaper than nars.How do NARS eyeshadows compare to MAC's?
    MAC and NARS are definitely my favorite products...I find that NARS cream eyeshadows are really easy to apply and work really well, as opposed to Smashbox cream eyeshadows. Other than that, I like MAC for their face products and think they stay on really well. MAC has amazing colors to choose from and they probably would have the best selection.
    I have tied both and i am so faithful to my MAC

    Is NARS blush in shade Orgasm actually good?

    Every one says its amazing?Is NARS blush in shade Orgasm actually good?
    Yeah, it's a really versatile color and looks good on a lot of people. It's a peachy pink with gold, so it has a good balance of warm and cool tones.





    It's downside is that it's really shimmery.





    I use mine all the time; it's one of my favorite blushes.Is NARS blush in shade Orgasm actually good?
    I used to use it before switching to Physician's Formula Organic Wear Blush and NARS Blush in Orgasm is AMAZING! It complements so many skin tones. It's definitely worth the hefty price tag.
    I've heard good things about it too, mostly from allthatglitters21 on youtube. That and the Laguna Bronzer. They sell both Orgasm and Laguna in a duo that I'm thinking about buying. I think it's worth a shot :)
    YES!





    its the perfect blush/bronzer.


    it gives a nice color to the face with a subtle glow to it.

    I'm thinking a blush but maybe what i need is a bronzer.. but i want a little color also? I have beige skin i would say if that helps!Which NARS blush or bronzer will give me a sunkissed glow?
    Orgasm is really pretty on beige skin, if you want a slightly deeper bronzer than Laguna, Casino is also really pretty and has just a touch more color than Laguna. If you want to skip the bronzer and just go with a bronzey pink blush Oasis is one of my favorites, it has a pretty golf fleck to it that gives a nice sunkissed look AND color at the same time.Which NARS blush or bronzer will give me a sunkissed glow?
    Personally, I like the Palm Beach multiple and the Turkish Red Cream blush. The reason is that the creamy texture adds a fresher, more summery look.


    Keep the blush high on the cheeks, and you will create a very realistic sun-goddess look.
    Laguna bronzer with orgasm blush definetly. It comes in a duo too I think. It's amazing!!
    Laguana Bronzer is the best! For a blush I would go with Orgasm

    It's a lot to do with name actually. But a lot of products live up to their name. The different really is that at Sephora, MAC, high end counters ect... there is professional make up artists there and they can can try it on you to see if you like it. Where at drug stores its basically buy without trying or without knowing exactly what you need. That is the only different I see.
    smashbox, mac and nars are genearaly more well made. however, they all last equal amounts of time and usually work the same quality, but it depends on how which drugstore ones you've bought... some aren't as good as others. i would buy the one from smashbox when you've used your drugstore ones up.

    Thanks!





    Also, any homemade masks I can make to EXFOLIATE my skin.What have you heard of Trish McEvoy, NARS, or Laura Mercier foundation?
    i haven't tried trish mcevoy's, but i have tried the latter two. nars foundations are just okay for me.. they aren't bad, but i've tried MUCH better, especially for the price. laura mercier's foundations are absolutely amazing, especially the silk creme. it's full coverage, very creamy, oil-free, and stays on until you wash it off.





    also, 9 times out of 10, the cakey look of foundation is caused not by the formula itself (although sometimes true with cheap drugstore brands) but the skin. always make sure to regularly exfoliate and MOISTURIZE beforehand, even with a light oil-free gel type, then let it sink in. to prevent cakey-ness even more, try a dimethicone-based primer, the clear kind that leaves you a smooth powdery finish.





    as for any masks, try this: dissolve 4-5 uncoated aspirin tablets with a few drops of water, mix in a dollop of honey, apply and leave on for 10-15 minutes, then use it as a scrub as you rinse it off. the salicylic acid in the aspirin helps tackle acne and the humectant moisture of the honey counteracts any dryness. your skin will feel baby soft.What have you heard of Trish McEvoy, NARS, or Laura Mercier foundation?

    Can NARS bronzer color Casino give pimples?

    I bought this bronzer from sephora. It's the CASINO color by NARS. I just bought it 2 weeks ago. I get pimples every now and then but all of a sudden I have broken out badly. Has anyone used this exact bronzer and noticed that you've gotten more pimples? I'm trying to figure out what going on. Please someone help. Plus I need a bronzer so is there another one you recommend. Thanks.Can NARS bronzer color Casino give pimples?
    its possible you had a allergic reaction to it. Did you wash your face and get all the product off ?





    If you did, then you probably had a bad reaction to it. Either throw it out or give it away. I suggest the Loreal Mineral Bronzers :]Can NARS bronzer color Casino give pimples?
    is this your first time using a NARS bronzer? because if so it may have something in it that can cause your specific skin type to break out. i suggest a mineral based make-up and always make sure to wash your face at night

    Would you consider NARS as the cheaper makeup from the upperclass makeup?

    Sorry if that sounded wrong.


    I mean, like MAC is considered the cheapest out of the upperclass makeup lines.


    So what about NARS?


    They're foundation is only $40. Is it worth it?Would you consider NARS as the cheaper makeup from the upperclass makeup?
    I prefer make up forever


    and their foundation is the same price.





    i have NARS blush and lip gloss


    i'm not too sure the blush was worth it but the


    lip gloss rocks!Would you consider NARS as the cheaper makeup from the upperclass makeup?
    I wouldn't say Nars is one of the cheaper high end makeup products. MAC is definitely the cheapest but their eyeshadows are the best (and only $14). For me, Nars foundation does nothing. There is really nothing special and I find it cakes a lot. I don't really like it. I really like Clinique foundations and they are only $25-30. It works really well for sensitive skin and acne prone skin. I have found that Make Up For Ever has the best foundations. Their HD foundation is amazing. Really good coverage, not cakey at all. It's very moisturizing and long lasting as well. It's also $40. Also, Laura Mercier makes amazing foundations/tinted moisturizers and concealers. They have this kits and it's like $65 and you get conclear, tinted moisturizer, primer etc. It's a great value. Don't get Bare Minerals. It's horrible, the coverage isn't really good and it makes you break out. It's different on everybody's skin type tho.
    No, I have tryed all kinds of makeup. the kind I like the best is clinique super fit then with a smashbox loose powder over it.


    It really looks smooth and flawless. ( you can check my pics on profile)
    I use ysl foundation


    it makes my skin appear flawless


    the price is 50 dollars %26amp; it's amazing





    just go to nordstrom or Bloomingdale's and try out different makeup

    What should i use to apply nars eyeshadow?

    i recently purchased nars pressed powder eyeshadow in ';strada.'; i tried using small and larger eyeshadow brushes, but when i apply the eyeshadow, it all stays in one blob, and doesn't blend or spread out. the same thing happened when i tried using a spongetip.





    the only thing that DOES seem to work is using my fingertips, but that leaves my fingers full of eyeshadow, and then i feel like i'm wasting it.





    is there a trick to effectively applying nars shadow?What should i use to apply nars eyeshadow?
    using ur fingers is bad it can pollute the makeup with bacteria and cause eye infections. dont do that. u r applying ir wrong. use a larger eyeshadow brush swirl it in the shadow tap off the excess and then apply to ur eye.

    I'm going to NARS for the Diesel Electrician class.Will I be picked up by a Railroad?

    I have 10 years experiance as a diesel electrician. Heavy equipment, military and civilian equipment used by the military. I have no criminal background except some driving violations (no DUIs). My main concern is not being considered a ';journeyman'; electrician. My experience has all been military or as a military contractor. In the military and its contract world no one is a journeyman. So really my question is ';What are the chances of me being picked up by a railroad as a diesel electrician if I go to NARS and with my work experiance.'; ThanksI'm going to NARS for the Diesel Electrician class.Will I be picked up by a Railroad?
    With your background experience coupled with the fact that the industry is really booming right now you most likely shouldn't have a problem getting on, particularly with one of the seven major Class I railroads.I'm going to NARS for the Diesel Electrician class.Will I be picked up by a Railroad?
    Sounds good unless you are 50 or older
    Probably as long as you have good work referneces, be persistent and you should be willing to relocate.
    go to uprr.com and click on the employment part of the web page and fill out your app. you don't need to go to NARS. or go to bnsf.com

    What is a good dupe for the Nars Orgasm Blush?

    I really want the Nars Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm %26amp; Laguna, but it's too expensive for me, and I'm only in high school. I love how orgasm has that peachy pink color with the gold sheen.What is a good dupe for the Nars Orgasm Blush?
    Because of this blush's recent surge in popularity, almost everyone is trying to make a dupe.





    The best ones that I've found are


    -Milani Minerals Blush in Luminous


    http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor鈥?/a>





    and Mark Good Glowing blush in AfterGlo. This one looks EXACTLY the same as Orgasm, and goes for about six bucks. You'll have to buy a compact for it-- A lot of Mark. cosmetics are interchangeable with their compacts, so if you decide to switch blushes one day, you can just pop the one you're using out of their compact and pop the one you want in. I think their compacts work with the shadows too.

    should i buy one? i really want to try a NARS blush





    but is it really worth $25?





    thanks!What are the differences in the drugstore blushes and NARS blushes?
    Nars blush will look more vivrant while using less of it than a drugstore brand of blush. So eventhough your paying 25 bucks for it, it will last you longer. You should go to the nars counter and try the blush out and then determine for yourself if its worth 25 dollars.What are the differences in the drugstore blushes and NARS blushes?
    NARS Orgasm blush is quite possibly the last blush color you will ever buy.

    I applied for work on a train crew with a railroad without NARS. What are my odds of getting an interview?

    I've have an excellent work history, extensive safety


    background, lots of commo experience, years of experience working outdoors in every imaginable weather condition. No issues with booze or drugs.I applied for work on a train crew with a railroad without NARS. What are my odds of getting an interview?
    Many people seem to think that NARS is a waste of time and money - just have a look at the forum link below:


    http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic鈥?/a>





    I'm sure NARS qualifications can't do any harm, but with the record you've listed, particularly the safety background, I doubt it's necessary for you to get the job. Safety really is the number one priority in rail company manager's minds these days, so if you have a history of safety awareness and practice that should count for a lot.


    Practical experience also counts for much - something which many companies forgot in their rush for people with lots of letters behind their name, but are now starting to realise again.


    Good luck - I'm sure you'll get the interview.I applied for work on a train crew with a railroad without NARS. What are my odds of getting an interview?
    you have a very good chance to get the job,but they have testing on that job every time there is accident,on the job you will also still have to go for the medical testing,they check eyes,ears,body shape, this is the job controlled by the government,and there guide lines.
    Norfolk Southern hired me and I had never even heard of NARS. I have never worked with anyone at NS that has been to NARS. It would depend on the railroad. CSX in Birmingham, AL will not/can not hire you unless you have been to their version of NARS. BNSF likes NARS but will hire without it.





    Attending NARS does not guarantee you anything. You have to pass all the tests and be ready to go to work when and where they need you. Go to railroad.net and you will see how many NARS grads are still waiting for a job. Some grad. in 2006. The cost of NARS is about 5000 plus hotel and food that bumps the cost to about 7000. With no guarantee at all. I would try without it before spending money at Choo-Choo U.
    IF you're applying for UP don't waste money with NARS, for with UP you still have to go their training program and they pay you while training you.
    From the experience I've had as a railroaders wife for 20 years, do not get a job on any RR if you want a family life, you are never home, miss birthdays, anniversaries and any other family time you can think of including holidays. Any RR will play havoc with your life, but is you don't mind the stress, go for it.
    If you wrote down those atributes you mentioned in your paragraph here, that's certainly a good indicator. Many people don't - or don't know how - to make an application stand out. I did the same thing many years ago when I applied. I also had a few aquaintences that worked for different railroads, and asked them if I could use them as references. Even if it means writing all this stuff down on a seperate sheet of paper and attaching it to the application, it going to catch someone's eye. Good luck.

    What color Nars blush is good for dark skin?

    I am an NC50 with yellow undertones. I am looking to buy a nars blush. At this point in my life, it is pretty pricey for me so I can afford only one. I am looking to wear this during the day...say everyday.What color Nars blush is good for dark skin?
    hi,


    I love nars blush and im nc50 studio tech ';mac';......well it depends? I love ';exhibit a';,';taj mahal';, ';crazed'; ';torrid'; well if i were you i would play it safe and do ';exhibit a'; because its a matte color but you will need a light hand! Or if you like berry reddish do ';crazed'; which it beautiful w/ a little shimmer. hopefully this helps :-)What color Nars blush is good for dark skin?
    While I'm unfamiliar w/the brand you mention, I am very familiar w/aularale.com/7002's products. I've learned to wear all colors in blush - it's an accent to the rest of your outfit - like coordinating your hosiery and shoes to compliment your outfit. So, there's not really one shade that is good for every day unless you wear the same color clothing every day. Check out the combos on the website and do not be afraid to wear any of them - you only have to use a little of it.

    Whats the difference between mac and nars makeup?

    I dont get why there so expensive when u can buy the same shade for like 10 $ cheaper!...


    also


    wat are good summer makeup tips / styles?Whats the difference between mac and nars makeup?
    mac and nars are both so expensive because of the quality. mac make-up is thick and offers amazing coverage and thats why its often used by professionals and stage make-up as a long lasting, high coverage product is needed. i use mac make-up sometimes but i cant afford to keep buying it so normally ill just stick to the more affordable brands like loreal and maxfactor.





    as for summer make up tips, natural eyeshadow will be very popular in 2008. this includes beiges, browns, whites and greys. light shades of plum and purple will also be seen a lot. in 2008 you will notice the amount of eyeshadow women apply to their eyelids will be reduced in comparison to recent years. overall, its best to not go heavy on brightly coloured shadows.





    to achieve this look try colours in the brown family like taupes and peaches. l'oreal do some lovely neautral shades. try to somewhat coordinate your look. i dont mean your shaddow should be beige, your blush should be beige, and your lipstick should be beige. i dont mean a monotone colour, just a coordinated one.





    apply primer as described previously. apply eyeliner under the eyes (above eyelashes) and a thin line above the eyes close to the eyelashes. grab your eyeshadow brush that is thinnest and dab it in the eyeshadow. raise your eyebrows, find the crease of your upper eyelid (where you might feel the bone for the top of your eye socket), and then take the brush and line it with the eyeshadow. do it as if you're holding a pencil and you're using it to draw on your eyes. do this to make a half circle above your eyes. (don't go too far out to the side of your face when doing this step).





    to do the bottom part of the eyeshadow, take out your thin brushed eyeshadow brush again and dab it in your black eyeshadow. (tap it on the rim to get rid of excess eyeshadow that could fall off the brush and leave unattractive black spots of eyeshadow under your eyes or on your cheeks!) with one easy motion, start by putting the brush under your bottom lashes and sweeping it from side to side in a straight motion to create the point under the eye on both sides.





    touch up by making sure no excess eyeshadow fell onto unwanted places on your face and adding a little concealer to seal the deal. and you're done!





    hope this helps
