Our advices :
To reproduce this trick at home, we advise you toopt for a small sponge make-up, an easier to handle and more precise format for this small area. And if your sponge has the shape of a Beautyblender, i.e. it is narrower on one side, the best is to apply the lighter shade of the two on the smaller part of the sponge (which will be applied to the inner corner of the eyelid) and deposit the darkest color on the other side of the accessory.
The mistake not to make
Be careful, if you are used to moisten your make-up sponge before using it to make up your face, know that you should not do it for this trick which helps to make eye make-up. The sponge is used dry for this beauty hack ! Two reasons for this: on the one hand, the sponge will have difficulty capturing the pigments of powdery formulas and you risk missing your make-up, on the other hand, used wet, it will damage your eye shadows by soaking them .
