"Hi, my name is Sonja Gjokaj, I'm the owner of Gjokaj Make-up and I'm here with Expert Village to talk to you about make-up for production. In this step, we are going to talk about, I think, one of the most important things in production make-up are the eyes. And I'm going to walk you through how to bring out your eyes. So, the first step is, I want to create a base all over your entire eye area, lower lid and under the brow bone. So I'm really going to pick a shade that is a little bit lighter but still more on the nude side. So I'm picking this sort of egg shell, white or ivory that is going to create a perfect base for what I have in mind later. So you really want to dust off any access powder so it won't end up on your client's cheek. And I'm going to start on the lower lid. Just like that and under the brow. It's called the brow bone right here. What you see here is now is just the highlighted area and now I'm going to show you how to really, really bring out your eyes. And it's really simple. I'm going to pick a shade that is a little bit darker than the nude, ivory shade that Sheena is wearing on her eyes right now. So I'm going to saturate my brush and I'm going to just show you how to create depth. You want to start in the crease, right above your eyelid. And you're basically creating kind of a "V". Like right at the edge of the outer corner of the eye and right above, just like that. It's very, very simple. Look at that. Will you open. So when she opens, you could even work a little bit more. You really want to make sure you blend well. And you can do that with either a little latex sponge like that or with a clean fluffier brush, just like that, would blend the two shades perfectly together. Open. And see how this eye already appears a little bigger and has just a little bit more definition."
