"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. We still have a third color we are going to use. We use it under the brow right here. This is where I’m going to put her highlight color. This makes her eyebrows stand out. Remember when we did the eyebrows; we really want to frame the eye. So this highlight, that we are going to be putting underneath her brow, will highlight it even more. So I’m going to take a smaller brush, because remember we talked about that: if you are going to be in a small area, use a small brush. If you use too big of a brush, it’s going to kind of ruin your makeup look. I’m going to take a pretty highlight color. I’m just going to apply it underneath her eyebrows. That way she has warm browns, creams and golds on her eye. This is a natural look, especially if you have a yellow base skin. The browns are very natural and very pretty."
