"Hi! I’m Yvette Parrish, thanks for joining me at expertvillage. Eyes are so much fun, and there are really not a lot of rules. I am going to give you some tips to some basic outlines. I’m going to take a gold eye shadow; it has a high metallic in it. Now I’m going to slightly grab a little bit of it, and I’m going to put this on her base. And I would like to put a little sparkle close on the eyelid right here, because that way when they blink or they open their eyes, people only get a little hint of shine, a little shimmer. You won’t be slapping on the shine; you are just going to be flirting with them shine. Alright, so what we did, we applied the darker contour color here, we blended it. Now I took a gold; because we are keeping it in a warm look, I use brown and gold on her lids."
