How to Get Saucer-Like Eyes

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Kim Haertl, with Simply Beautiful, in Austin, Texas, and I'm going to show you how to make saucer-like eyes. We're going to start with really good brushes, and a really light shadow on the lid; close please, from the center, right along the lash line here; bringing it up onto the middle of the lid. So we want to sweep it around on the whole lid. We're brightening the eye this way. Our next step is to use a darker color in the crease. This is the crease, so we want to bring it a little bit up, and sweep it out from the corner of the eye like this; so, if you take your, from your nose to the outside of your eye you want to bring it out to about that point, and then sweep it down around your lash line. Using a smaller brush and a matte shadow want to bring it in a "V" shape; this is the "V" shape, extending out from the eye and across the lashes, from the center of the lashes, out. We're focusing our our shadow towards the outside of the eye, and we're blending. Now, I'm going to take a deeper color, and in this case it's a deep plum, and I'm just going to just really focus it here in this corner. Again, small brush strokes always work best, especially if you're new at trying the technique. Little sweeping, let me see, open please, blending. Now, with a neutral color liner; close, bringing your pencil from the middle of your eye, with small brush strokes right as as close as to the lash line as you can, and sweeping out, open, open please, look up. Again, from the middle of the eye, from the outside of the iris down. It's always a great idea just to smudge so you don't have a really hard line. We're going to do mascara. Middle of the lash, clo; just look at middle distance for me please. A little on the top, sweeping up, sweeping up. You want to focus the mascara from the center outwards. It'll brighten the eye and bring it out this way; out to the side, open. There you go. Wanna' not do it on the bottom. We just want to kind of bring the eye up and out. And that's how you create a saucer-like eye."
