"Now that we have already done the concealer and the tight line we are going to move on to basic eyeshadow. Now I recommend a line that has a lot of pigment. I lot of line do not have a lot of pigment and that is what we are going to find at the drugstore those colors kind of go on ashy. They don't look like the color on the package so it is very important to invest in a good set of eyeshadow with pigment. I like Sue Devitt, Mac, Christian Dior those are really good ones that work with also Murad is also good to work with. So you take your basic color I usually like to choose like a bronze type gold that is looks best on darker skin and you want to use a flat brush. You just want to tap gently all over the whole entire eyelid. I like something with a little bit of shimmer on someone who has a younger eye it just gives it a little bit more pop. If you are a little bit older you can still wear a little shimmer right at the top but you don't want to wear shimmer all over. So just like that and across, you want to get the whole lid. Always padding if you just brush it does not tend to stay on as long so a little pat is great. You can smooth it out just a touch and then whola a beautiful base color. "
