What you need
Steps
Apply a thin layer of eye primer across the whole lid and up to the brow bone. Let it set for a few seconds so the powder grips and does not crease.
Load the 217 blending brush with MAC Omega and tap off the excess. Sweep it in small circles above your natural crease, not inside it, so the color stays visible when your eyes are open.
Switch to the 221 mini tapered brush and press Omega into the outer corner. Build the shape slightly upward for a soft lifted effect.
Use the same small brush to run Omega along the outer half of the lower lash line. Keep the line thin and blended so it does not look heavy.
Pat MAC Naked Lunch onto the inner half of the lid with the 239 shader brush. Stop where the Omega begins so the two shades meet softly.
Use a clean detail brush to blend the seam between Omega and Naked Lunch. Sweep back and forth gently until no hard line shows.
Line the upper lash line with a soft eyeliner and apply mascara to top and bottom lashes. Keep the liner close to the lashes for a clean finish.
Tips and common mistakes
Place shadow above the crease, not in it, or hooded lids will hide the color when your eyes are open.
Tap excess powder off the brush before applying so the shimmer does not scatter over your cheeks.
Build Omega in thin layers instead of one heavy pass for a softer, more even blend.
Use a light hand on the lower lash line, since dark color there can make mature eyes look tired.
Questions
Can I use other eyeshadows instead of MAC Omega and Naked Lunch?
Yes. Any matte taupe-beige can replace Omega and any soft pink shimmer can replace Naked Lunch. Match the tones rather than the brands.
Do I need all the brushes shown?
No. A fluffy blending brush, a small tapered brush and a flat shader brush cover the whole look. A detail brush helps with the lower lash line.
Will this look work on non-hooded eyes?
Yes. The placement above the crease and the lifted outer corner suit most eye shapes. Adjust how high you place Omega to match your own crease.
