The power to mesmerize is in your eyes, with this make-up hypnotize… I have de-coded the secrets to iconic, mesmerizing eyes with my Color-Coded Eyeshadow Palettes. Each one contains four harmonious color ways that offer a complete “desk to disco” eye color wardrobe and an easy to use application ritual that is fail-safe to follow. It’s my artistry made effortless!

How To Apply Color-Coded Eyeshadow Palettes

A color-coded eyeshadow palette that blends seamlessly into 3 looks, taking you from DESK to DUSK to DISCO.

DESK (day look)

  1. An open, mirrored-lid quad eyeshadow palette with eyeshadows in shades of shimmery brown, dark brown, grey-brown, and dark beige, with prime written on the dark beige shade.

    Step 1: Prime Shade

    Using my Eye Blender Brush, apply Prime to the entire eye-lid, with a backwards and forwards ‘windscreen wiper’ motion. Then using my Eye Smudger Brush apply the Prime shade to the inner corners of the eyes to open them up.

  2. An open, mirrored-lid quad eyeshadow palette with eyeshadows in shades of shimmery brown, dark brown, grey-brown, and dark beige, with enhance written on the dark brown shade.

    Step 2: Enhance Shade

    Nestle the Enhance shade in the outer corner of the eye socket using my Eye Blender Brush and blend. Then using my Eye Smudger Brush apply the Enahnce shade along the upper and lower lashline.

Dusk (evening look)

Repeat Steps 1 and 2.

  1. An open, mirrored-lid quad eyeshadow palette with eyeshadows in shades of shimmery brown, dark brown, grey-brown, and dark beige, with smoke written on the grey-brown shade.

    Step 3: Smoke Shade

    Using my Eye Smudger Brush apply the Smoke shade along the upper lashline and into the socket in a half-moon shape. Also run it along the lower lashline.

DISCO (night look)

Repeat Steps 1, 2 and 3.

  1. An open, mirrored-lid quad eyeshadow palette with eyeshadows in shades of shimmery brown, dark brown, grey-brown, and dark beige, with pop written on the shimmery brown shade.

    Step 4: Pop Shade

    With your ring finger, apply the Pop shade to the centre of your eyelid for amped up glamour.
