Start by applying a nude eyeshadow all over your lid—this will serve as the base for the rest of your look. STEP 2: ADD SOME COLOR

Next, dip a crease brush into your medium blue shadow. Use this color to help define your crease, blending it into your crease with windshield wiper motions. Create even more depth by layering the palette’s darkest shadow over top. Before moving onto the next step, use a fluffy eye shadow brush to blend between the different shades so that there aren’t any harsh lines of demarcation. STEP 3: BLEND COLOR UNDER YOUR EYES What’s holographic skin without an extra boost in radiance? Top off your look by applying a metallic rose highlighter to your cheekbones, tip of your nose, and cupid’s bow. MERMAID MAKEUP LOOK #6: UNDER THE SEA UNDER-EYE MAKEUP

By placing the lightest metallic pigment at the center of your lips, you can help create a fuller-looking pout.
