Practicing your smoky eye?  There’s a good chance you’ll end up with some sort of pigment falling below your lower lashline. Here’s the best way to clean it up—without having to start over.

1. Remove the pigment from your lower lid with a gentle eye makeup remover like Elemis White Flowers Eye & Lip Makeup Remover ($30).

2. Apply a light eye cream like Ole Henriksen Fresh Start Eye Cream ($38) under your eyes. Let it dry..

3. Pat concealer under your eyes to camouflage any dark circles.

4. Lightly dust on some powder like Boots No7 Perfect Light Loose Translucent Powder ($11.99) to set the concealer.

Next time, remember to blow on your eyeshadow brush to remove any excess pigment before it hits your lid.
