"The eyes are completely done. Before we do the lips, I'm going to do a little face and body shimmer because this is a glamour glitzy look and this is an evening going out and about kind of look, or red carpet look. I'm going to take a really cool gold shimmer powder and I'm just going to dust this all over her face and body. You want to use a nice big brush and just really dig into it. It's a nice shimmery, sparkly color. It's got a lot of glitter. Just go all over the face. On the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose. You really can just go crazy with this color. It doesn't have a lot of color to it. It's just mostly a gold glitter, so you really can just go all over the face. It'll just give such a nice glow to the skin. Not only on the face, but down the neck. Since she's got an open shirt. If your shoulders are out, just go all over the body with this shimmer. It will just look beautiful in the evening light. Be generous with it. Really all over. The collar bones. You can even tell now her skin just looks immaculate and perfect. You can even take this and go over the eyes again too if you want. I'm not touching the eyes because I've perfected them, but you're more than welcome to put a little more shimmer or glitz on your eyes too. There we go. We're ready for lipstick."
