"So, we're going to start on the eyeshadow for Sherry and we're going to start with the highlight color first. So, what I'm going to do is, I'm going to take this highlight shade right underneath her brow bone and you can see that when you blend this in, it gives this really light color, but it sort of gives this instant brow lift. And, sometimes, or for some people, they really just don't want to use a ton of shadow, even just a highlight actually creates a really, really beautiful effect to the skin without having to apply all these other colors. So, I'm going to start right on her brow and just blend it in. And you can even kind of pull it down to the crease of the eye so it's perfectly blended. You can see how pretty that is. So, we're going to start on the other side. And, once again, just right below the eyebrow. It's better to press it in and then sort of wipe it away because we want to make sure that that color kind of absorbs, right where you want it. The brush that I'm using is sort of a flimsy, almost like a, I would say, more of a Sable hair. And this is going to help to really move that color in and give it a really shear finish on the eye."
