One & Done: Sirius Starlight

One & Done: Sirius Starlight

From inner tearduct to beyond the crease, I applied Sydney Grace Sirius Starlight (from the Quintessence palette) as a one-and-done look. For a really smooth shine and less visible sparkle, you can apply it with a dampened brush or really press it on with a fingertip.

I applied Borealis mixed with Sirius Starlight on the lower lash line for a more sage-like color.
