Eyeshadow Tips for Blue Eyes : How to Apply Eyeshadow

Video Transcript

"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, because I want to give her eye a strong beautiful frame and strength…so when I add all the eyelashes and the drama, it’ll be able to hold it. Like a beautiful painting, I want a beautiful frame as well. That is what I’m going to be doing. I’m going to fill in her eyebrows; I’m going to use a taupe eye shadow that looks similar to her hair color. I’m going to grab a little bit of the color, and I’m going to apply it where she needs some strength to her eyebrows. Any color that you use for the eyebrows is going to look one shade darker on your brow. So don’t get a color that is too dark for your eyebrows. If anything, go a little light, because you don’t want that Graucho Marx effect, unless you do. I’m filling in her eyebrow, and look at the difference in the strength between her two eyebrows. It really makes a difference, and it will be able to hold all the other colors I am going to put on there. So if you notice she has enough hair and strength right here on her brow, but right here she starts getting weak. So why should I apply color here since she is already strong there? I’m going to go straight to where she is weak, and it’s right there just in her arch. I’m going to brush up. Now we have the foundation on, we have our eyebrows prepped; give her a little sharp right there."
