"Okay, wonderful. Hi, we're right in the middle of getting my model ready for her next photo shoot, so today, you're in for a big surprise. My name is Sylvia Russell, and I'm going to show you how to get saucer-like eye shape, or how to make a doe eye, or a really big, beautiful eye. Now, the first thing that I'm doing is I'm actually using a white pencil on the inside of my client's eye. So, what you want to do is just take your white pencil and slowly use it on the inside, and if you can take a look you can see the difference. This eye looks white, and this eye has the natural pink. The reason why we use the white is because we want to brighten the eye. Also, it actually enhances the whites of your own eye, and this is the beginning of creating a saucer-like eye. Next, you're going to use a black or brown pencil, whatever complements your skin tone and hair color, and you simply use it under the eye like so. And you also want to go ahead and use it on the top. Now, you would not bring this all the way into the corners of the eye because we don't want to close the corners; we don't want to make the eyes smaller. We want to actually open the eye and make it appear larger. As you can see it left a little line, so what you want to do is you just want to blend that into the eyelash or into the brow line. This may take some practice, but I'm sure that it's something that you can achieve at home. If you want beautiful doe eyes like the superstars then try these tips yourself. My name is Sylvia Russell, and this is how you can create a saucer-like eye."
