"So, next, we're going to do that pop of color to give Sherry that really beautiful Spring look. So, as you saw, we're going to use this really pretty Plum color. Sherry has really beautiful green eyes and a plum is actually going to bring out even more. So, what I'm going to do, go ahead and close your eyes, is I'm going to use that color right on her lid and I'm just going to press it right in and I'm not swiping the brush, because especially with more of a pigmented color, if you swipe it, you're sometimes going to get that fall down, down here and we really want to avoid that because we've already worked on her eye makeup, or, on her skin, excuse me. So, I'm just going to press this right in and you can see how pretty that is. I'm really loving how this looks on your skin, Sherry. So, blend it right into the skin and then if you need to go back and get the same brush that you used for your crease color, you can do that so it blends everything in together and you can see how pretty that is. And then I'm also going to give her a little bit underneath, so go ahead and look up. And this is a great way to surround the eye with color so her eye really stands out and you can kind smudge it out and create a soft, smokey effect if you want to. Or just something right on the lash line. And just keep blending it until you get the consistency that you want and the smoothness of the color. That's really pretty."
