Applying Blue Eye Shadow to Eye Crease

Video Transcript

"Okay, so now we're doing a crease color and it's a pretty dark blue, but it's got a shimmer to it. This is a great color to use for eyeliner as well as the crease. It gets great depth and if you wet it, wet the brush; you can use it as an eyeliner. It looks very dramatic as well. I'm going to use this for the crease. I'm also going to use it a little bit underneath the eye to give it a smoky feel. We're going to do kind of a smoky look, but with blues. So I'm using a fluffy crease brush and I'm just going to dip it in ever so lightly at first. And then I'm just going to keep adding more. You don't want to go too dark with this at first until you kind of gage. Okay, so when you're doing the crease of the eye, you basically want to stay toward the end of the eye and make a sideways "v". So you want to concentrate the color kind of at the end of the eye in a "v" and you want to fill it in and go a little bit into the eye. You don't want to go any further than the middle of the eye really. And you want to keep it all blended together. Like I said, everything should look like it goes together and it blends well together. So little by little, you just want to add more and more color depending on how dark or how smoky you want the eye to look. And just add a little bit at a time and just blend, blend, blend. Keep it darkest at the end of the eye. Give that smoky feel and don't go too close to the brow, because again, you want to keep the brow highlighted. Open. And just add more and more as, close, as you feel like you want your look to be. How dramatic you want it to be. And a great brush is going to make a huge difference. A brush that's good at blending, that applies the color well. You're going to notice when you're using dark colors, you want to have a good brush. Open. I'm just going to add a little more because this is a dramatic look. Close. There we go. We don't want to be afraid of using color. We really want to experiment. And you can pile it on when you're experimenting. She has nice big eyes. If any color drops, just take a nice fluffy brush and brush it away. And then I'm going to take a little bit of this color also and go underneath the eye with a nice pencil brush. These are great brushes to have too to do that smoky eye. And you want to concentrate it darkest at the end again so it all looks blended. It goes from dark to light. And you can do the crease of the eye so many different ways. This is a basic way to do it. Once you learn how to do it this way, you can experiment with other ways and you can experiment with other colors. This is a basic crease. You can do this with any color from black, to purple, to blue, bronze, anything."
