"If you want to go for an extra dramatic look just go ahead and just kind of pat it on the bottom of your eyes, like so and it'll give it a little more smokey look to it. I'm applying really light here because I know black and grey eye shadow is not for everybody so you know. If you're more comfortable wearing more, wear more. The more you wear the more smokey it is going to look, just make sure it's not too dark. I like to dust it off, the excess. Next for your eyes, liquid eyeliner. I know not everybody loves to put this on; you've got to have a good steady hand. But if you're comfortable with using it, it's going to make a real nice look. What I'm going to do is just use some basic black eyeliner, I'm going to start here and just carry it out from here. Hopefully I do this right if not I'll just use a q-tip and start over. What I just did here, I just did from about here on the eye to the side to create a little flip here. Just a little bit. You'll see allot of the retro look in eyeliner. It's really nice. Don’t worry about the cat eye flip out until you finish the basis of it. I know that liquid eyeliner can be a little bit tricky so play with it until you get it right and you'll kind of find a little dance with your hand can do to make it work. So that there is eyes. So we had the base, kind of white pearl for the brow of the base and next we moved to the charcoal just kind of shading it out real light and then the liquid eyeliner. And don't forget you can use fake eyelashes and it makes your eyes really pop and gives it a real nice old Hollywood look. Okay babies, we're not done with our makeup yet. Here's what we're going to do next. I'm going to show you some tips on your lips and your cheeks. Again, I'm just covering some basics today. You do your own foundation, do what works for you. Maybe you don't want to incorporate all of this. Maybe you just want to do the eyes and you’re done. That's great. But let me just give you some other ideas. For blush, I like to use the darker and rosier shades. Nothing too pink or pale. Depending on what works for your skin tone. Again, I'm no cosmetologist but here's what I like to do. I like to focus on the cheek bone here and kind of work it up into here. This is really definitely more for evening wear or for parties so just add some definition. Get the other side here. Sometimes if you smile you can find your cheekbone a little bit better. So there, not too much just a little color on there on the cheeks but it looks real nice. Next, red lipstick ladies. This one is a little darker than I wanted but it's the one I had on hand. This one here is max diva. Get that on there. Again, this is pretty and it's really dramatic so it's going to be good for an evening look. Another secret beauty tip I have is, I have this mole right here and growing up as a kid I hated it, I thought it looked like a pimple; my mom would say it's a beauty mark so I grew to love it. So I like to color it in, so whether you have one or don't have one have a little fun and throw it on there. Just like that. So whether you have one there or don't have one there just have some fun put it on there and it's create a nice classic look. So those are just some tips on how you can create a nice classic vintage look for your face."
