Applying Black Eyeshadow for Stage Makeup

Video Transcript

"Now, we have the last eyeshadow which is the black. Or, it's an off black actually. This comes in by itself, a little case. What I use is a very small brush that has an angle. This is called an angle brush for eyeshadow. Where this eyeshadow will go is both on top of the eyeliner that I just put on her face and on bottom parts of her eye to pop out that eye to give her that smoky eye look. So, if I can go ahead and get on this side to show you exactly what we're going to do to both sides. I use a little napkin to cover up her cheeks all the way across. I place it right underneath the eye simply because this is dark and it might blend in with the rest of the makeup and you do not want to ruin the rest of the makeup at this point. Because you do not want to start rubbing off makeup, it will only ruin what you've already done if you start rubbing. You really, essentially, do not want to touch your face with your fingers or with any type of anything other than maybe possibly retouching your makeup up with the appropriate brushes. As you can see, I'm placing the eyeshadow right above that eyeliner that I already placed right there. It's only going to the corners of her eyes. I do not want to put it out. Can you see that? Open your eye. Do you see how it pops that eye right open? That's exactly what you want for stage. I'm going to go ahead and put a little bit on the bottom. Chrissy, look up. You want it right underneath that lash line on the bottom. As close to the lashes as you can possibly get."
