Nicolas Degennes Tips:Play with layering and graduated shading. Apply the darkest colours at the base of the lashes like eyeliner and layer and blend in lighter shades towards the brown line. A “little trick” for more intense colour is to apply the colours over a black pencil base and gently blend.
