00:00Can I touch your mustache?
00:01Yes, you can.
00:07So you know eye shadow.
00:10I'm really terrified of it.
00:11I feel like there are two big reasons why I'm so afraid of colorful eye shadow.
00:15The first is that whenever I put it on, I feel like I look like Mimi from the Drew Carey
00:21show.
00:22And the other is that I have this remarkably adorable freckle on my right eyelid and I
00:27don't want to cover it up that much.
00:28I think one of the things that you've got to do if you're afraid of color is figure
00:32out how to make it work for you.
00:34One of my favorite trends for the next season is bringing bright color shadow as an eyeliner
00:40onto the eye.
00:41So the first thing that I'm going to do is choose what color we're going to go with and
00:45I'm going to bring blue onto your eye and I know a lot of people would stay away from
00:49that after your blue eye shadow fear and the fact that you've got beautiful blue eyes.
00:54But what I want to do is something that feels on trend and timeless and really brings out
01:00the shape and color of your eye and balances off the whole complexion.
01:04So I'm starting with a bold kind of deepened blue azure blue liner pencil and I'm bringing
01:11it right along that lash line.
01:14If you were to use this all over the eye it might be very overwhelming but what I'm going
01:19to do is take it on a small liner brush and just line it right above the pencil line that
01:24we just created.
01:26And then I'm going back in with a larger buffing brush and I'm just setting it with a bit of
01:30powder just to stop it transferring.
01:33So we're done with the liner and it's really easy and simple and an alternative to bringing
01:38that bright color all over the eye.
01:40I'm going to finish this with a bit of mascara.
01:42You want to make sure you get that mascara right to the root of these bright colors because
01:46that's going to give you more definition.
01:49Okay, I think I can do it.
01:51I know you can do it.
01:51You're really good at explaining things.
01:52I'm super nervous but also excited like do I look kind of runway on my left side right
01:57now?
01:58I think you do.
01:59I know you can do this.
02:01That is perfect.
02:03The next step is bringing in the bold blue shadow.
02:06Oh god, I ruined it.
02:08Maybe I didn't.
02:09Because you already have mascara on you just need to build it up at the root and that's
02:13what's going to give you that long lash look.
02:16Oh, I think I touched my eyelid.
02:20Oh, do I look rooted?
02:21I think you do.
02:23And do you see how that gives you a little more definition and balance with that bright
02:25color?
02:26I feel like you're watching over me.
02:27Like nothing can go wrong.
02:28Your guardian makeup artist.
02:29My guardian makeup artist.
02:30Thank you so much for showing me these eye tricks.
02:33I feel much better about eye shadow.
02:34I feel like this looks normal and not meme-y as I've been saying.
02:38I'm really excited.
02:38I'm just going to like sashay out of here.
02:40I love that.
02:40I'm going to be really Beyonce about it.
02:42I'm going to worry about it.
02:43I think that's a great way to approach a bright colored eye.
02:46Me too.
