For effective, long lasting eyeshadow adhesion, first apply Perfect Eyeshadow Foundation and gently dab it into the skin using the fingers or a make-up sponge.
Step 2
For a perfect eye make-up make sure not to forget the eyebrows: Brush off surplus make-up and powder from the eyebrows.
Step 3
Carfully apply brow powder between the hairs with a fine, slanted eyebrow brush. Start at the inner corner of the eyebrow.
Step 4
Use a flat brush to apply eyeshadow onto the centre of the lid and spread it towards the outer corner of the eye. Fill in the inner part of the lid with the eyeshadow remaining on the brush.
Step 5
A tissue will prevent any eyeshadow from falling onto the lower part of the face.
Step 6
The flat eyeshadow brush is perfect to place darker accents below the eyebrow. Known as Marlene's bow, it intensifies the finished smokey eyes look.
Step 7
Draw a line with the eyeliner brush or the new LCN Eyes Deep Black Eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye with one even stroke. Apply the lid-line directly at the lashline.
Step 8
If the colour smears or runs, the LCN Make-up Remover Pen is a quick and easy help. After correcting just reapply make-up onto the respective spot witha sponge.
Step 9
Use the fine eyeshadow brush to place some colour onto the lower lid-line. You will achieve the best result, if you start in the inner corner of the eye, using less colour as you draw the line towards the outer corner.
Step 10
Finally generously apply mascara. It’s best to apply the mascara with slow strokes out from the lid with an upwards movement. Slow intensive application creates an even coating of mascara onto the lashes. If the lashes still stick together, you can brush the lashes with a lash brush to separate them and remove any excess mascara.
