"So now we are going to go in and contour with a nice shimmery taupe. So just dip the end of your fluffy blending brush, tap off the excess, and go right in with the crease and you just want it to be really light and natural. All the focus is going to be on your lips. So you just blend back and forth, around in a few circles, up into that crease. For those of you that aren't really sure where the crease is, the crease is right underneath this bone and right above where your eyeball, you can see your eyeball shape. It's right underneath this brow bone. So just blend your brush around in little circles and the little circles are going to help blend it while it applies it. So it does all the work for you. Okay, and open your eyes. Now, we are going to take the same brush and just lightly dust the same color underneath the eye. That's going to give you, what they call, a drop shadow. It's going to give you the illusion of having longer lashes on the bottom. Now we're going to go in with the angle brush and a black eyeshadow, tap off the excess. We're going to go right along the lash line and just stick that brush just pat it right in. You don't want to drag your brush because it's harder to keep it straight and it doesn't really apply the pigment as well. So you want to go right along the lashes starting at the outer corner because the first place that you press your brush down it's going to be the darkest and then just continue to the inner corner, right along the lashes. It doesn't have to be perfect because you can do a smoky looking eyeliner and that still looks great. So, open your eyes Alex, and then look that way. Make sure you get the inner corners, look that way, cause that really is going to help frame the whole entire eye. So that's contouring the crease and the eyeliner."
