And smooth it from your eye lashes to the crease line. Now take a Smudge Liner/Shadow pencil. There are six shades for you to choose from. Put a soft, smudgy line of colour round your eyes, close to the lashes. Then use any one of Seventeens eight Liquid Mascaras on your lashes. You’ll be misty eyed.
