We drew inspiration from the William Rast Spring 2015 beauty and wanted to learn how to create a "wet" eyeshadow. It felt fresh, romantic, and edgy all at the same time. We enlisted the help of makeup artist extraordinaire Caitlin Wooters to show us the way.

Note: Begin this tutorial with your regular concealer and foundation application.

Step 1. First, apply a warm brown shadow in crease with small blending brush. (We suggest trying the Bobbi Brown Sand Eye Palette)

Step 2. Then, apply the same shadow underneath lashes with Sephora Pro Smoky Liner Brush #24.

Step 3. Next, apply a MAKE UP FOR EVER Concealer Pencil on just the inner rim.

Step 4. Finally, add Jao Brand Goe Oil on your lid and under lash line with finger.
