How to Apply Eye Makeup Base

Video Transcript

" Hi! I’m Yvette Parrish. Thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Today, I’m going to show you how to apply makeup properly, professionally and the use of brushes. We did the eyebrow; we strengthened them. What I am going to do is a base on the eyelid, and this is a cream base that you can get from most makeup lines. And what I am going to do is just tap it in, and remember use your ring finger or your middle finger. And I am just going to rub in a base, and what happens is the eye shadow that I apply will stick to this base, and you would not have so many sprinkles that happen underneath your eye. So I am going to apply this base, and it keeps the color on longer and it is crease resistant and there are all kinds of benefits, so you should always start with a little bit of a cream eye shadow first. I chose one that is a little bit yellow golden because it goes with her natural look, but there are other colors that you can get such as a pink, you can use a white. You can even use a blue and that pink. You can do a different base, this is Revlon, this is Clinique, I have Aveda: whatever makeup line you feel comfortable with. Anytime you are working with the cream, I would recommend using your finger. Because if you use a brush, all the hair gets all really disgusted in the cream. It is not a sanitary thing. It’s a big mess. I promise you use a brush one time and you will never use it again. So apply the creams with your fingers. It will allow you more control and you would not mess up your pretty brushes. And I just put this golden yellow base on her whole lid, and you see how that kind of lightens her up, and now whatever color that I use on her eyes it will stay true. "
