When you’re holding your #224, keep your hand at the far end of the brush handly and not close to the brush tip. This technique will help you ease-off the pressure and allow for lighter work and more blending oomph. The brush should only be touching the eye lightly, just the tapered tip and not the whole brush head. That will help not create too much muddiness or streaking.

Also, the 224 is not just for windshield wiping! To really get the best use of it, try moving it in tiny circles where two colors meet (like on the border). This motion will gently blend the colors without creating mud.

Lastly, to really rock the grey eye (or any smoky eye) sometimes you need “a bridge color” like Saddle to safely transition from smoke to skin. Hope this helps, even just a little!?

And when it gets down to it, I wish I could:
- Speak Spanish
- become a runner without hurting too much
- write a kid’s book
- find out what happened to all of those CDs that went missing at work
-get pregnant!

Oh yah! I bet he moisturizes, too.

I gotta tell you that I’ve watched The Godfather about a billion times. It’s one of my favorite movies, too.

Oh boy, I hear you on #3. I’ve been waking up lately in the middle of the night and it has not been cool.

Yup, you and me both on #9!
