Think of under-shadow as the side-boob

of makeup. It’s edgier than

going same-old smoky (or sporting major

cleavage) but still super hot!

GET THE LOOK

1. PLACE THE
   PIGMENT. The lower
   you take the shadow,
   the more dramatic
   the look will be. Using
   a shadow stick or a
   small tapered brush
   (like the one below,
   from It Brushes for
   Ulta)—for the strong­
   est effect, wet the
   brush—start shadow
   directly under lashes.


2. BLEND IT WELL.
   Buff obvious lines
   or edges back and
   forth, in windshield­
   wiper motions, sug­
   gests makeup artist
   Katie Jane Hughes. A
   fluffy brush (try Nyx’s,
   here) makes it easy.


3. LIGHTEN UP ON
   LOWER LASHES.
   “Under­shadow adds a
   lot of eye drama on its
   own,” says Hughes.
   Tissue off your mascara
   wand to get a milder
   effect on bottom fringe.


4. SAVE FOUNDATION
   FOR LAST. That way
   if powder flecks fall,
   you can wipe them
   away without ruining
   your base.
