How to Apply Cream Based Eyeshadow

Video Transcript

" I want to thank you for visiting expertvillage.com. Today we’re going to learn about some makeup techniques and this is my beautiful model Ana-Lucy Corona. And what we’re going to do for her eyes, just like her face, we’re going to put a base on her eyelids and this is cream base that you can get from most makeup lines. What I’m going to do is just tap it in, remember use your ring finger or your middle finger, and I’m just going to rub in a base. And what happens is the eye shadow that I apply will stick to this base and you won’t have so many sprinkles that happen underneath your eye. So I’m going to apply this base and it keeps the color on longer, and it’s crease resistant and there’s all kinds of benefits. So you should always start with a little bit of a cream eye shadow first; I chose one that’s a little bit yellow golden. So apply the cream with your fingers, it’ll allow you more control and you won’t mess up your pretty brushes, and I just put this golden yellow base on her whole lid, and you see how that kind lightens her up. And now whatever color that I use on her eyes it’ll stay true."
