"So I'm going to add a crease color to this look, just so the pink isn't so like whoa. We want to just tone it down a little bit, I'm going to add a deep purple which is going to go great with the fuchsia color onto the crease. Kind of give it a smoky feel, just maybe sex it out a little bit. So I'm going to use a fluffy crease brush and a deep purple eye shadow. I use this a lot as an eyeliner too, it's a great kind of color to go with any of the cools, like the pinks and plums. So I'm going to dip right into this and go right into the crease of her eye. I'm going to take a little bit on the brush at a time, because I don't want to add too much. If you add too much, it's hard to get that off. You want to just add a little bit at a time. And just to the crease of the eye, which is kind of like the end of the eye in a sideways V and fill it in. You don't want to go too far in the middle, you want to stop toward the middle of the eye and just really condense it at the end so that the eye goes from dark to light, or light to dark, excuse me. And make sure it's all blended. It should all look blended in together There should be no harsh lines. And just little by little you know, add more and more color, depending on how deep you want to go. I want to make it a little more smoky, but I don't want it too dramatic. Just going to add a little bit more. Look at me. Open. Oh that looks beautiful and these colors just mesh really well together. See what a difference that made just adding a little bit of that, that kind of deep plum tone to the eye. It just kind of made the pink a little more muted and gave a little more sexy look, but you can still see that you're, you know, you're really using that pink to your advantage."
