Start With A Clean Skin

The key to acing bomb makeup is starting with clean skin. We suggest using a gentle chemical peel to slough off dead skin cells and get smoother, brighter skin for makeup.

Then, load the eyeshadow hue of your choice with a small brush and apply it along the eye sockets and on the outer corner of your eyes.
