Mascara presents a challenge to people with oilier skin, and those who have extra-straight or super-short lashes. Get awkwardly close to a mirror and examine how your eyelashes grow—if they jut out and appear completely curl-free, our solution lies therein. By administering a curl at the lash line, you’ll lift lashes up and away from your eye area where mascara-shifting oil exists. Some people use a spoon and their thumb (Google it), while others prefer the refinement of a full tool kit, like Joe Fresh‘s Eye Grooming Kit ($10, joe.ca) to carefully lift and separate their lashes into shape.
Keira swayed from using traditional black liner to smudge around her eyes and used a flat, non-shimmery grey shadow instead. Finding the correct finish—matte and flat, opposed to waxy and shiny—is key to getting this look right. We recommend using your finger to spread Joe Fresh Cream Eye Shadow in “Slate Grey” ($6, at Joe Fresh) over your lid and below your lower lashline before using a Q-tip or makeup brush to perfect the edges. It’s a highly-pigmented grey that blends easily, thanks to its creamy formula, but dries matte and will easily stay put all day.
