"Hi I'm Kelli, I'm an aesthetician and a makeup artist at Ulta Salon and Cosmetics and I'm going to show you some tips on how you can blend eye shadow. One of the best things to do is you want to make sure you have some really great brushes that's going to make it really, really easy for you. So we're going to work with three colors here real quick. So we're just going to start with our lightest color and we're just going to sweep this all over the eye from lash to brow. We're going to take our medium tone color and we're just going to kind of blend this right in the lid up into the crease. We're actually going to move on to a domed shaped brush from a darker shade and we're just going to do a really slight windshield wiper motion back and forth, little V on the outer corner. Just kind of blend it in a little circular motion. Really great way to find the natural crease of your eye if you're applying this to yourself is just kind of look back and that helps you see the natural crease. Open for me. So you can see to look at her, she doesn't look like she has three colors of eye shadow on there very easily blended. And if you maybe have a little bit of a heavier hand, you can get a blending brush. Close for me. And just kind of go over in a little bit of a circular motion, and this kind of blends all the colors together. So those are some tips of how you can blend eye shadow."
