One of the easiest things to do with an eyeshadow palette is to visualize each column and row as a potential color combination. In the Love palette, this results in five (vertical) trios and three (horizontal) quints. In very large palettes, you might find it necessary to first visualize palettes with palettes (see below for guidance), especially for those who find it difficult to see the color combinations in the beginning!Next, I like to look for quads of colors, and I’ll start from left to right, top to bottom. In my experience, a lot of brands arrange their pre-made palettes as groups of four. When there are only two rows of eyeshadows in a palette, quads are a good way to start, too. When the palette doesn’t evenly divide into perfect groups, consider using your hand or a piece of paper to “block” out the excess shades so it is easier to see. |

Choose a 'curling' formula and brush to enhance your natural length by adding a little lift and curl to open up the eye. As you use your mascara, comb long lashes to the side, creating a 'cat eye' without the need for liquid eyeliner. Concentrate the mascara onto the outer lashes, pulling up and out for this feline flick. |
