About this series
Each look idea revolves around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that, depending on the skin tone, one could bring in the right browbone or an additional transition color. Think of these ideas as a stepping stone with four “core” colors that can inspire your next look. For reference, based on how I normally apply makeup, I would consider applying the colors in this order: inner lid, center of lid, outer lid / crease and crease / above crease or lid.
