Hi again, we're moving onto eye make-up. This is the hardest part. This is where you need
much practice before your big day and practicing how to do your eye makeup, how much color
you need, what tools to use and how to use them. I'm going to start out with your base
color. I like using a very simple sheer, champagne or nude color, nothing glittery but you can
do something that's a little iridescent. You don't want to use something that's too matte,
either because you want it to have a little pop, you're also using that as highlights
under your brow, and your base is going to go over your entire eye. A big brush is necessary,
so you can get a lot of coverage and again, start out light, see how it turns out and
then you can add more and more, as you need it. The base is very simple; you just want
to put it all over the lid, simple as that. Under the brow, all over the top of the eye,
just all over. Again, I'm a big blender, so anything I do on top of the lid, I always
want to do under the lid, so I take a little bit and go under the eye, as well, so that
it's all even.
You really can't mess it up, well maybe you can. That's why you need to practice because
eventually, it will be like second nature; you can do it with your eyes closed. I'm moving
onto the lid color. I like to use neutral colors, plum like browns or you can use something
that has a bronze tone but again not to glittery, just depending on what look you're going for.
I'm going to do a really basic plum brown, smoky eye on my model, so I'm using a plum
brown on the lid color. I'm going to use a little smaller brush, so that I can get a
little more color and this just goes, directly, on top of the lid. When I mean lid, I mean
the actual ball of the eye, where the eye protrudes. You don't want to take this up
to the brow cause that's where the highlight needs to be. So on the top of the lid, where
the ball of the eye protrudes. You want to take it a little underneath the eye, as well,
just to make it even
