Applying Creme Eyeshadow for Smokey Eyes

Video Transcript

"So we're now going to add a cream shadow, and as you can see, this is black, and this is where you're going to start seeing some of the definition in that reminisce of a smoky eye. So, like I said, this is a cream shadow. I'm going to use a synthetic fiber brush. And with this, it's really important just to use as little as possible to start out. You don't want to go overboard. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to start right from her lash line, and I'm going to start to pull that color up, ok? I am going to cover her entire lid, not going past the crease of her eye. But you can see how it's starting to go on there. And this is a cream shadow, so it's pretty movable, but it does dry pretty quickly, so you want to keep moving and keep blending, ok? So just take a little bit at a time, get a little bit more on there if you need, and keep pulling upwards. But it is important to not go too high, because then it's just going to look kind of freaky. So always start from the lash line and pull up, ok? And you can see this is starting to come together. Now, there's a lot of blending involved with the smoky eye, so don't get discouraged. And sometimes, the smoky eye, you have to keep working until you get the look that you want. But it's all about blending. So I'm going to continue on this eye and do the other eye for you so you can see the finished product on how the cream shadow is supposed to look. So this is the finished product of the cream shadow, and of course, there's a few more steps to do it, but - go ahead and close really quickly - you can see, it's pretty well blended. There is a few more steps to take, so it's still in transition. But you can see that color is on her lid, and we're definitely on our way to creating a really beautiful smoky eye."
