"Hi, I'm Kelli. I'm an aesthetician and makeup artist at Ulta Salon and Cosmetics, and I'm going to show you how to do a quick smoky eye for an evening look. We're going to start with a cream liner, and I'm going to apply this to her upper lash line a little bit thicker than I would normally. Then, I'm actually going to take my smudger brush and I'm going to smudge it up towards her crease; making it a little bit heavier on the outer corner. I'm actually going to take my brush and dip it in a little bit more in my cream liner, and kind of work it through the middle of her lid up to her crease; flip over to my smudger. Just kind of smudge that into her crease. I'm going to take a lighter color. I'm just going to kind of blend this on the inner portion of her eyelid, and I'm going to take a light color up by her brow. And then, I'm just going to go back through and darken up my liner a little bit more, look up for me. A little bit underneath, and connecting it in the outer corner, and then I'm just going to take my smudger and just kind of smudge it underneath to give it a smokier appearance. And then, we're just going to top it off with a coat of mascara. Look down for me. So, that's an evening eye look."
