Well, this is also no help but here's what I do. I very carefully line my lower lid with a sort of steel gray pencil crayon. I don't press hard or use a solid line, just sort of light and very closely dashed, then I blend. Next I add shadow to the lid with a brush, well to the crease really. I sort of hit the crease and a little above it and a little below. After I add the shadow, usually a darker shade, I blend it in with a different brush so it looks sort of 'smokey'. Then I dab on some light shadow right at the lash line and finally a small line from the inner corner of the lid, at the lash line and I end the line before I reach the mid lid. Finally, mascara on the upper and lower lashes. I know this all sounds time-consuming and heavily made up but it's really neither. You can see the shadow of course but I don't think it's overdone adn I can do this in aboutthe same amount of time that it took me to line my upper lids, when I was doing that. Oh and boy, do I know about the creepie crepies. ;)
