"The next thing I'm going to show you is, how to apply eyeliner. I'm going to use a black eye shadow with an angle brush, and that's going to give you that really soft look in eyeliner. If you want something a little more dramatic, you can use a liquid eyeliner or a pencil, but I really like the way that the, the eye shadow looks, because it's just softer and it also holds up really well throughout the day. So, I'm going to show you how to do that. I'm going to take a piece of tissue and hold it under her eye so the black dust doesn't fall on her face, when I'm doing this. And then, you want to just dip your angle brush in there, and close your eyes, Alex. And then, you want to just apply right along the lashes, so just take your angle brush, and push it right into the lash line, and that's going to give you a nice fused eyeliner, and it's going to really frame her eye shape. And the tissues going to catch any extra dust that falls. And I'm going to go on with the other eye, look up. And just really work it in to the lash line. Try to stay as close to the lash line as possible, so you won't have any space, and it will give you the illusion of having a really full, thick, eyelashes. OK. OK, open, and look up and that way. I like to get the inner corners too, because I like the way that it just makes your eye shape, just really pop out. Now, look up in that way. So, just look up, and to the side, and take your brush and just go right in there. And then, I'm going to lightly go back in, with that purple color, underneath her eyes. Look up. Against the lashes, and that's going to give that really pretty, soft liner on the bottom. So, all I did for that, was I took my brush, the same brush, and just wiped the extra black eye shadow off, and then go in with your purple, and go right underneath the lashes. And this brush is going to give it a little more intense delivery, with the color, because it's a stiffer brush than the fluffy brush, so it's going to be a little darker. OK? And then, you can always take your tissue and just kind of clean up the edges if you like. And that's how you do the eyeliner."
