"Now for the eye shadow base, I'm going to use kind of a pinky, silvery, iridescent color. Now this is a really cool color. You can use this with so many things. It kind of pulls a pinky, lavender with a silver fleck. So since we're doing purples, this is what I'm going to use and I'm going to put it all over the eye. I'm going to use it as a base and a highlight. Now you want to use a nice, big brush and you really kind of want to pile it on. This is a very sheer, light color so you can kind of really put it on heavy. And it's going to go all over the eyelid, under the brow, all over the eyelid. If you have a nice big brush, it's going to go on really smooth and it will be very easy. You just want to blend, blend, blend. You also want to take it underneath the eye. Look up for me. Anything you do on top, you kind of want to do on the bottom a little bit so everything looks blended and even. And plus this is a nice highlight under the eye too since it's a light color. You want to concentrate it like under the brow, look up for me, in the inside corner of the eye, just gives a nice highlight. And we already notice such a huge difference by putting a base color on. Now this is a really pretty color she can just throw on and go out for the day, but we're obviously going to add more to it. But it's just a great tool to use a base and everything will go on so much smoother."
