MAGIC STEP 1: PRIME
Always begin by applying the lightest eyeshadow all over your eyelid!
With your Luxury Palette, apply the top left PRIME shade all over the entire eyelid using the Eye Blender Brush. This is the lightest shade in your eyeshadow palette that will create a soft, even base before the other shades are layered and blended on top.
Begin with a small amount and build up to your desired finish. The fluffy blender brush will help to effortlessly and evenly blend the shadow without harsh lines; the brush does the work for you, darling!
Tilbury Tip: To make your eyes look more open and brighter, you can also apply the PRIME shade to the inner corners of your eyes using the Eye Smudger Brush.
MAGIC STEP 2: ENHANCE
Next add some definition to your simple eye makeup by applying the top right ENHANCE shade. Like its name, this shade helps to enhance the look of your eyes by adding a touch of depth and definition in a hue that complements your PRIME shade that you just applied.
Apply the ENHANCE shade to the outer half of your eyelid, blending it up and out into the crease of your eye. Then, using the Eye Smudger Brush, run the shade along the outer upper and lower lash-lines.
This Eye Smudger Brush has shorter, densely packed bristles for more precise application, giving you more control!
Tilbury Tip: If you’re creating a daytime look, you could stop here and apply lashings and lashings of mascara to complete your eye makeup look! However, if you’re creating an evening look, or just want to dial it up with some extra smokiness and sparkle, continue with steps 3 & 4!
MAGIC STEP 3: SMOKE
The bottom-right SMOKE shade in your Luxury Palette is likely to be the deepest shade of the 4 and in a velvet matte formula. This makes it perfect for adding extra definition and smokiness!
To dial up your simple eye makeup look to take you from day to date or disco, apply the SMOKE shade using the Eye Smudger Brush on top of where you applied the ENHANCE shade, paying extra attention to the crease and lash lines. Layer and build up the pigment until you have your desired level of smokiness!
Tilbury Tip: Keep a clean Eye Blender Brush nearby and BLEND, BLEND, BLEND the edges as you go for a seamless-looking finish with no harsh lines!
MAGIC STEP 4: POP
Finally, complete your simple eye makeup look with the bottom left sparkling POP shade! This shade has multi-reflecting pearls and is best applied with your fingertips for magic pigment pay-off and glamourous SPARKLE; simply press the shade onto the centre of your eyelid to add a veil of sparkling makeup magic to your look!
