Words to take to your supplier

Softly shaded eyes with a quiet lip
The eye is the focal point; the closed-eye view reveals the softly blended lid color.

What I want to borrow: Compare this with the defined-lip concept if you want the emphasis around the eyes. Open and closed views help distinguish the visible lash line from the shading that appears when looking down.
Adaptation to discuss: At a trial, ask to compare a lighter outer edge, less lower-eye definition or a different depth chosen for your skin and preferences. Keep the finish, lip color and amount of coverage as separate decisions.

Questions for our supplier:
• Do I like the shape with my eyes open and my glasses on?
• Which part feels too dark or too reflective to me?
• What touch-up routine am I willing to maintain?

Scope to confirm: Soft shaded eyes with a quiet lip and the wearer’s desired skin finish.
Responsible people: Wearer and the stylist or makeup artist who will deliver the agreed trial.
Before confirming: Check the trial in daylight and evening light; record sensitivities, acceptable intensity and touch-up products.
Working example (replace with actuals): Book the trial around the actual headwear and outfit neckline; take front, side and back notes, then agree preparation and timing.
