"And we're now going to use a crease shade for Sherry. What this is going to do for her is it's going to give her a little bit more depth on her eye, and I'm using a really loose, kind of a pony tale brush for this, right on the tip of the brush. So, a great way for you to do this at home is to tilt your head back, look down just a little bit so you have a mirror down below you, and you can actually see where the crease of your eye is. So, I'm going to start from the outer corner of Sherry's eye, and start to blend this in moving inwards. So, what this is going to do, like I said, is give her a little bit more depth, and it's just going to add a nice, natural color. Now, there's of course, a few other steps that we're going to do for the smoky eye, but this is just one of a few, and this creates a really good impact. If you don't want to a smoky eye, you just want to do something light, this is a great thing to do just by itself, to give your eye a little bit of color. And you can see I'm sweeping it back and forth and that I'm using sort of these light, circular motions, and that's going to help to pull the color up, as well as pull it down, so it's totally seamless. And that's what we want. We don't really want any defined lines, especially not with a smoky eye. So, just keep blending until you get the look that you want, and go ahead look straight ahead, and you can see how pretty that is on her eye. "
