4. Apply Pistol on the center of your lid using a flat brush for a light shimmer. Blend out.

5. Using a flat brush, apply Blackout at the end of your lash line and stamp the color and then lightly “flick” the black shadow into the rest of the eye look. Blend out.

6. Use Tease again under your lash line and follow with Blackout right at your lower lashes. In your waterline, use your liner color of choice. Go in with Blackout one more time to help meld the gel liner into your lower shadow. Finish with L'Oréal Lash Paradise Mascara.
