"Hi! I’m Yvette Parrish, thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Eyes are so much fun, and there are really not a lot of rules. I’m going to give you some tips to some basic outlines. Her eyebrows are shaped beautiful, but I want to do is strengthen them a little bit, and fill them in with a little bit of color. I’m going to take a small brush, because I want to work in a small area. I’m going to take an eyebrow color, which is a brown. Then try to match the hair color as close as possible. I’m going to take like a brown color, and I’m going to apply it where I think she needs a little strength. Then you can see the difference between the two brows. I don’t do a lot, but this really helps the eye look just beautiful, the finished product. It’s like having a beautiful painting without a frame. What I’m doing is making the frame of her eye just beautiful, so that way my painting will look even more beautiful. Alright, I’m just filling it in. You can see the difference in the strength between this eyebrow and this eyebrow. I’m going to do the other side. Then right here I’m going to fill it in, because this is where it is a little bit weak right there. Everyone has a different weak spot. It could be right here by the eye; it could be at the end. Usually it’s at the ends, because this is where we go crazy tweezing. When we first start tweezing it’s the first thing we tweeze, and we are always afraid to tweeze this part. I’m just kind of filling them a little bit. Now we have a beautiful frame for her eyes."
