4. Using the V brush, apply the Sea Mist eyeshadow to the outer V area of the eye and spread it to the crease. Be careful not to cover all of the stealth, after all you want all the colors to show. If necessary, use a soft brush to blur any rough lines.
5. Apply the Sea Mist eyeshadow to a third of the lower lid in the same way, meeting the Mercury eyeshadow.

7. Apply Ice Queen eyeshadow under the eyebrow as a highlight and on the inner corner of the eye to make the eyes appear brighter and more open.
