Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Prime lids

    Eye primer prevents creasing and makes shimmer last—especially important for smokey and cut crease styles.

  2. 2

    Place transition and lid shades

    Use mauve, green, and bronze on the lid with a matte transition one to two shades deeper in the crease.

  3. 3

    Define for the style

    Carve crease with concealer, set, then place lid shimmer below the cut line.

Best shadow colors for hazel eyes

mauve, green, and bronze enhance hazel eyes. Avoid shades that match your iris exactly—they flatten contrast.
