Just before applying eyeshadow, the expert applies Smashbox's primer "so the eyeshadow won't crease," she explained.

Milani
While glam squads commonly share dual uses of products, Erika's use of liquid lipstick is life-changing.
"Then, I took a pink liquid lipstick—it's called Milani—and apply it as an eyeliner," she told us. "It doesn't crease. It stays in place."
BH Cosmetics
"I like doing eyes first," Erika explained why she doesn't use foundation or concealer before shadow.
