If it is unsuccessful, the cotton swab is like the blur tool in PS. Use the cotton swab to gently wipe the lightest area of ​​the eyeshadow to achieve a natural transition from presence to absence.

3. Note that the tail of the eye should be slightly heavier than other places, and the lower eyelid also needs a little application, but not too much or too heavy, one-third of the eye length is enough.

4. Use dark tones in the area 2-3 mm above the root of the eyelashes. Don't apply it too widely. Also, apply from bottom to top from dark to light, bordering with the previous eyeshadow.
