Step 1

In this sample of the way I paint eyes, I chose a snowball noggin ornament. My flesh color for this lil gal was pink. After I put my flesh color on, I then chose to give my eyes some eye shadow. I dry brushed the blue for the eye shadow above the eyes.

I then re-loaded my dry brush with the flesh tone pink color that I had used originally for the face.

Step 3

I went back over the blue eye shadow by dry brushing a light shade of pink back over the original color of blue to tone it down. Pictures here show the eyes with the eye shadow before and after it was toned down.
