"Now that we have the lid done and it's pretty vibrant bronze, we're going to right into the crease of the eye. I'm going to use an awesome, awesome green color. It's called humid and it's this deep forest green. It's highly pigmented and it's also got a lot of shine and glitter to it. I'm going to use a nice little crease brush. I'm going to go into it very softly and just keep adding more. This is a dramatic look, so want it to have some high drama. Just be careful depending on your skin color how vibrant it's going to come out. You don't want to put too much on and not be able to take it off. It's better to start simple. Light and soft and then just go darker and darker and darker. We're going to start at the edge of the eye and I'm going to start at the edge and then just go inwards. I want the end of the eye to be really, really dramatic. This is a very, very cool awesome look. These colors go beautifully together. Open. Close. Kind of like peacock feathers. They really blend in beautifully together, the bronze and the green. Open. There's going to be some spillage and you can clean that up later. That's not a big deal. You just want to make sure you get the crease of the eye just perfect as far as the perfect darkness, deepness, or depth. I think that's pretty good for now."
