It's going to help the eyeshadow go on with more vibrancy. And, it also prevents creasing and caking. It's going to keep the eyeshadow looking a lot fresher throughout the day. So, we're just going to pat a little bit on her lid using your ring finger. Because we never want to pull or tug at the eye area. So, this finger exhibits the least amount of force on the eye area. And, another thing that you can do if you have problems with either mascara or eyeliner running under the eye. You can just kind of pat a little bit right underneath the lower lash line. And, that will keep your eyeliner and your mascara from running under the eye. And, you can to that too. Because it's nice and translucent. It's not a heavy or cakey liquid.

And, that will just make sure your eyeshadow stays looking really great all day long."
