Get the Effortless Glowy Summer Eye In Just 3 Steps

There’s something about a sultry summer eye that feels fresh, easy, and effortlessly chic. With just a couple of Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow and a sweep of mascara, you can create glowing, dimensional eyes that light up your whole look. Here’s how to get it.

Step 1: Add a Wash of Amethyst

Start with Caviar Stick Eye Shadow in Amethyst, a shimmering taupe-violet that instantly brightens the eyes. Apply it all over the lid, leaving the very center bare for dimension. Blend edges seamlessly with the Ponytail Brush for that soft-focus finish.

Pro tip: Smudge Amethyst along the lower lash line as well for a subtle, smoky glow that ties the look together.

Step 2: Pop On Some Metallic Taupe

Next, take Caviar Stick Eye Shadow in Metallic Taupe and apply it right to the center of the lid. This creates a spotlight effect that makes eyes look bigger and more radiant. Smudge a touch along the lower lash line too, blending it into the Amethyst for that lit-from-within shimmer.
