Tips for Applying Eyeshadow

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Jessica. I'm a licensed aesthetician for the last two years. I'm here to talk to you today about makeup application, specifically we're going to work on eyeshadow. For Nicole today, we have chosen lighter colors, she's more fair skinned with the blue-green eyes, so she can wear many colors, but she's going to be going out to a daytime event so we would like to keep it light and bright. First, I'm going to be starting with a round angled brush and that will help me get the contour on the outside. You want to start with dark on the outside and work your say into light in the middle on the inside. So, she'll close her eyes, holding the eye can also help in the application. One swoosh motion downward. You kind of just wanting cover the corner. Always keeping in mind to keep the line lined up with the outside corner of the eyebrow. Then we use a blender brush, we come in with lighter color and starting at the top, we're going to be blending back and forth motion will ensure that you do not have that line on the eye. And then you can always highlight on the inner corner. So we have used three different colors to match her outfit that she's going to be wearing for the day and before you finish up you always want to contour your eyebrows. You can go in with a little bit of lighter color and dab, never draw a line, just dab to give the eyes the shape that they need. Remember, eyebrows frame our eyes."
