What is the primary purpose of applying an eyeshadow primer before eye makeup?

A medium-toned matte shadow used in the crease to blend other colors seamlessly

A transition shade is a medium-toned matte color applied in the crease area to create a seamless blend between lighter highlight shades and deeper lid colors.

A sharp, precisely defined line separating the lid color from the crease

A cut crease uses concealer or a light shade to create a sharply defined line that visually separates the eyelid color from the crease color.

Question 4

Pencil or liner brush

A pencil or liner brush has a small, precise tip that matches the narrow width of the lower lash line for accurate eyeshadow placement.

Question 5
