How to Apply Dark Eye Shadow

Video Transcript

" Thank for joining me at expertvillage.com. Hi I'm Yvette Parish, and this is my beautiful model Tam Welton today, and what we are going to be doing is doing a dramatic makeover on Tam. I'm going to use a plum palette, and as you can see it has a purple, a light lilac purple, a white, then like a pink: these are a real pretty palette for her. I'm going to grab the purple, the darkest color—always go darkest first, because God forbid, if you make a mistake, you still got the light colors to go over everything, and you can fix anything. So I'm going to slightly lift up her eye, and I'm going to see where I want to apply her dark color. I'm not blending, I'm only getting her contour where I want it to be. Okay open your eye. If she opens her eye, your model or your self when you are applying makeup, and if you do not see this line. Lets say you open your eye, and you just don't see it you didn't go high enough with this contour. Notice that I'm using a small brush because I'm working on a small contour area right here. I'm not blending; I just want to make sure it is where I want it to be."
