First up, we had a day look! Perfect on your on a regular basis makeup routine to the workplace. Simple, smooth but beautiful. As all the time, we won’t begin a makeup look with out priming your face and Olivia recommends utilizing a conceleaer or any primer to wipe out any veins or discolouration. And this is a bit insider tip from the MUA queen herself: Leave the bottom sticky and do not apply any powder or attempt to set it. It’ll catch extra pigment of the eyeshadow making your eyes *pop*!
Olivia used the Kroma Drama Stay Golden Girl palette to obtain a pure but contoured look. And whereas we’re used to contouring our faces, Olivia’s all about contouring the eyes too! She used the lightest shade to contour the eyes and produce again the definiton that we wiped away whereas priming/conealing the eyes. She then reached for the Kroma Drama All You Need Is Faith And Love palette (sidenote: how *cute* are these names) to use ~hotter~ tones and darker shades to create pure shadows. 
And for all my kweens whose cardio is mixing, we have got one other unique tip for you which may simply change the way in which you mix ceaselessly: Put the color/eyeshadow the place you need it in your eyelid and as soon as there’s no extra color left on the comb, simply buff the sides out!
While Kroma Drama have essentially the most dreamy eyeshadow palettes, in case you’re ever on the lookout for extra – one other wonderful thing about them is that their face palettes are tremendous multifunctional. Olivia secretly lurves to use the contour shades from the Kroma Drama Never Blend In palette as eyeshadows.

And because it already ~blends~ in with the opposite colours, it doesn’t require a lot work. Talk a couple of win-win scenario. And for the reason that contour has an extremely buttery system, it makes for essentially the most creamy *impactful* eyeshadow. 
Olivia additionally recommends utilizing the smaller eyeshadow brush to contour underneath the eyes and naturally, to apply a lil spotlight to the internal nook of your eyes.
What not to do: A typical mistake individuals make is ending their eyelids and forgetting concerning the underneath eye space. If you need it to look extra pure, you need to return and add some extra definition to your underneath eye. 
While it is in all probability as arduous as selecting your fave little one, we had to ask Olivia her private fave palette and brushes, ya know, only for analysis functions. And she selected the Kroma Drama Never Blend In palette since it may be utilized in actually *any* method and her prime three brushes are the largest one, the shaded one and the mixing brush.
Speaking of brushes, in case you’ve ever been caught questioning which one to use, Olivia gave us the lowdown. The lighter the color, the larger the comb. This is as a result of smaller brushes provide you with extra definition and greater brushes permit you to transition shades properly. Huh, who knew it was that straightforward?
Another pro-tip she shared with us was not to swipe when making use of makeup, particularly contour or blush. Instead, simply calmly faucet on the pores and skin to permit the product to mix properly *with out* wiping away at any of the merchandise used beneath.

For the evening look. Olivia went off of her day look, protecting it actual for the women who get house from work and are not going to take off a full face of makeup however as a substitute simply ~construct~ on it.
She used the Kroma Drama All You Need Is Faith Palette and reached for the *darkest* shade to create a wing. Yes, we imply like winged eyeliner however with eyeshadow as a substitute. Crazy, proper? Well, a wonderful thing about utilizing eyeshadow as a substitute of eyeliner is that it is simpler to clear up any errors making it perfect for rookies. 
A mistake that lots of us (myself, included) have been responsible of is doing our makeup with our eyes shut. Olivia instructed us the trick to a flawless eye makeup look (in addition to regular palms) is to do your makeup along with your eyes open, so what to count on. It can look bizarre when your eyes are closed, nevertheless it’ll look excellent when your eyes are open. Woah, I mentioned eyes quite a bit there.
Something else to add to the lengthy listing of causes we’re loving Kroma Drama is the truth that they’ve *zero* fall out. Yes, ZERO. 
Also, one thing I used to be afraid of (and nonetheless am, TBH) was going too far up with my eyeshadow to my forehead bone. Well, in a stunning flip of occasions, it appears as if that is precisely what you must do. Olivia instructed us to go all the way in which up with our colors and never be afraid to carry it out both. One of the explanation why it is nice to apply your eyeshadow all the way in which up to your brows is as a result of while you pack on a bit spotlight in your forehead bone, it will combine with the eyeshadow – making it the perfect hue of a mix between the highlighter and the eyeshadow. 
She added a lil pink shimmer to the look and recommends utilizing your fingers to apply any shimmers or pigmented shades to your eyes. Hashtag life hack. No surprise all of the MUAs on YouTube love swatching glittery pinks.
Olivia added some golden shimmers on prime of the pink to even it out a bit, however in case you love the pink (like we do at Cosmo) you may simply go away it as is.

Another huuuuge makeup tip that she shared with us was that you must simply faucet between the traces the place you are transitioning the glitter and matte shades, in case you mix, you may combine the colors and it will take away from the precise look.
And if all this speak is freaking you out a lil since you’re a newbie, worry not as a result of we have got your backs too. We requested her what one of the best palette is for rookies to begin out with and she or he recommends the Stay Golden Girl.
For our final and closing look, the Kroma Kraze, it was alllll concerning the colors. And whereas the star of the present was going to be vibrant eyes, Olivia all the time likes to maintain stability. If she does a lighter eye, she’ll go for a darker lip and vice-versa.
In order to actually make the colors pop this time, Olivia primed the mannequin’s eyes with white concealer and whereas we admit, it appeared a lil loopy, we noticed simply efficient it was.

She coated the complete lid with white concealer to take out *every* color within the pores and skin. Olivia reached for the Kroma Drama Stay Classy palette and selected a shiny orange shade, perfect for summer time. And whereas there aren’t any guidelines in makeup, she recommends straying away from totally different textures when doing a daring, shiny look. Just so that you’er not taking away from the precise color and depth of the look.
Something tremendous… totally different and fascinating and likewise kinda genius that we noticed Olivia do was spray her MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ immediately into one of many pink eyeshadow pots within the palette and blend away! “Mix it unitl it feels prefer it’s creamy and also you’re pleased with the color,” she mentioned. “It makes it a lot simpler to apply as a result of it is cream[y].”
She used the creamy pink to create a winged liner that was tremendous pigmented, fierce and daring. And whereas this look was simply two steps, it stole the present and was a crowd-favourite. And that simply goes to present that a few of your greatest makeup seems would be the quickest and best to do!
Do your self a favour, seize a Kroma Drama palette (or two, or ten) and go loopy. Have enjoyable!
