- Use the medium shade again to line under the lower eye, going about three-quarters of the way in under the lower lash line (this tip works for most eyeliner to make the eyes look larger).
- Use the highlight shade along the lower lash line below the medium shade, in the inner corner of the eye, and at the brow bone.
