"So now that I've added all the dark colors I'm going to go back with the blending brush and just blend everything together so it's nice and smooth looking. This helps to lift away any excess eyeshadow that you might have and just kind of fluff it around really lightly. So blend in all of our colors together. I like to also add a highlight to the brow area, to the brow bone actually after I've done the dark colors because I think it gives a bit of a cleaner look. So I'm going to use a nice light bright color here and I'm just going to go right along underneath her brow line. Just kind of blend it back and forth and we'll do the same thing on the other side. So I went ahead and I wiped away any excess shadow that might of fallen around her eye area to give it a nice clean look and I'm just going to touch up with it with just a touch of concealer around her eye area. Can I have you look up? This will just kind of help brighten the eye since we have so many dark colors around it and make sure we didn't get any smudges where we didn't want them. Just turn a little bit, okay perfect! Now we'll just go back with a little mascara."
