"Now we're ready to start on the eyes. The first thing you want to do is you want to do a base color. Since we're doing kind of greens and bronzes and we're doing a really warm look, I'm going to use more of a golden eye shadow. It has an iridescence to it. It's kind of like a golden champagne color. It's called rice paper. It's a really smooth satin shadow too, so it's going to go on really smooth and has that gold fleck to it. You really can't get this wrong. You just want to put this all over the whole entire lid. You want to use it as the highlight under the eyebrow as well and just really blend it all over the entire lid with a nice big brush. It's just a very smooth, pretty kind of glowy color. I'm also going to take this underneath the eye as well. We're doing a very smoky eye look with this. Alicia Keys always has a fantastic smoky eye. There's going to be a lot underneath the eye as well as on top of the eye with this look. Underneath the eye, we just want to give it a nice glow too. I'm going to take this underneath the eye as well to give a little glow and shimmer."
