    how to get bardot eyes

    (Image credit: Kathryn Wirsing/Stephanie Stanley)

    Start with your regular concealer and foundation application.

    Step 1. Start by applying a matte light brown shadow in the crease and wing out. (We used the taupe shadow from the NYX From Dusk til Dawn palette with MAC 217 Blending Brush).

    Step 2. Next, use an eye pencil, like butter LONDON WINK Eye Pencil in Brown Sugar and create a thick wing covering half of the lid. The line does not need to be perfect.

    Step 3. Then, connect the top wing from the outter corner all the way around to inner corner using the same eye pencil.

    Step 4. Now, you can perfect the line by filling it in with with a very slightly damp eyeshadow. (We used Bobbi Brown Eye Liner Brush and Mahogany Shadow)
