"So now we're going to contour the crease and the corner of her eye and that's going to really give her that dimension and make her eyes really stand out and look very open which is really great because she's going to be taking pictures all day and it's a day to remember so you really want to look your best. So, I'm going to use the soft purple color that has a little bit of gold in it, and it's not like really, really purple, it's just a soft one, cause you don't want to go overboard with the color on your wedding day. So we're going to apply this purple right into the corner and into the crease and it really blends nicely with the lid color because it's got the pink and the gold and the purple, just a little reflex of the gold. And then I'm going to start on the other eye, keeping that little V shape right here and just really lightly apply it. And start with a small amount of product on your brush and then work it in and then if you'd like it darker, go back in and just layer it. And use circular motions to blend the edges cause you really want it to fuse together. You don't want any dark edges or lines on your wedding day. Just work it right up into that crease in the corner and then if you find that you don't like the edge or something and you want it to be a little more blended, just grab a different clean blending brush, with no product on it and just blend it out, just go back and forth, in circles and just blend it and that's going to help soften the lines. It's really good to always have an extra clean blending brush with no product next to you. And I'm going to go back in and add just a little bit more up into the crease in the corner and blend it out again with the clean brush, "and open your eyes". And make sure that it doesn't come down too low because that's going to make you look like your eyes are closing and being pulled down at that side. So you want it to stop around about here where the brow ends. So just take it to about right there and up and try not to pull it down too much. So that's how you contour the crease."
