"Okay so now that we have the eye shadow base and highlight on we are going to do the lid color. So I am going right to my big pallet of colors and I am going to do a pinky nude with and iridescence to it. I am just going to put this color directly on the lid. And by the lid I mean where the ball of the eye protrudes. So right from where the lash line is all the way up to the ball of the eye but not past the crease. So I am using a small brush so I can get it right where I want it. Just right on the lid. And this is a very shear color so I am just going to add some more. Again you can apply it as shear or as heavy as you want. And you can use it wet or dry also. I am just using it dry. It is a very natural look that I am going for. So I am just blending it out. But it's really right from the base of the lashes just to the crease is where I am applying most of the color. Open. And then I am also going to take like I did for the base a little bit under the eye. So whatever I do on top I want to do a tiny bit on the bottom just to make everything look even. And it just gives a nice highlight under the eye as well. Just a tiny tiny bit. Just make sure everything looks blended. You don't want to see any harsh lines. It should look like everything just molds in together like a rainbow. And there we go, there is the lid color."
