"So, next we're going to be using a Crease Shade with a certain brush that is perfect for putting on crease shadow. I'm going to show you how to do that. So, I'm going to start by swirling this brush, right into the shadow and you can see that it's sort of right on the tip of the brush and what we're going to do with the crease of Sherry's eye is, go ahead and lean back for me and just look down at the floor, this is a great way that you can do this at home if you hold a mirror down below. You can actually see your natural crease line so we're going to start from the outer corner and just slowly start to sweep that color back and forth and keep blending it around. So you can see that that color has gone on Sherry's eye, and now we're just going to start to blend it. So I'm using, almost like a windshield wiper motion, back and forth and then these sort of small circular motions to kind of move that color around. And it creates a really pretty effect. Now, what you want to do for a crease shade is, you want to essentially pick a match shade. Not anything with any shimmer and also something that's, I'd say, two to three shades darker than your natural skin tone. So, it is going to give you that natural depth, and look straight forward, and you can see how pretty that is on her eye and it also helps to bring out the green in her eyes as well."
