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,
00:26and I don'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 out how
00:33to make it work for you.
00:34One of my favorite trends for the next season is bringing bright color shadow as an eyeliner onto the eye.
00:41So the first thing that I'm going to do is choose what color we're going to go with.
00:45And I'm going to bring blue onto your eye.
00:48And I know a lot of people would stay away from that after your blue eye shadow fear
00:52and 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 the shape
01:00and color of your eye.
01:01And balances off the whole complexion.
01:04So I'm starting with a bold kind of deepened blue, azure blue liner pencil.
01:10And I'm bringing it right along that lash line.
01:14If you were to use this all over the eye, it might be very overwhelming.
01:18But what I'm going to do is take it on a small liner brush and just line it right above
01:23the pencil line that we just created.
01:25And 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 that bright color
01:39all 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 that's going
01:47to 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.
01:53I'm super nervous but also excited.
01:55Like, do I look kind of runway on my left side right now?
01:58I think you do it.
01:58I'm very runny right now.
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.
02:13And that's what's going to give you that long lash look.
02:16Oh, I think I touched my eyelid.
02:19Oh.
02:20Oh.
02:20Do 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 color?
02:26It does.
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 Mimi, 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.
02:41I'm going to be really Beyonce about it.
02:42I don't even worry about it.
02:43I think that's a great way to approach a bright colored eye.
02:47Me too.
02:47Thanks for watching Refinery29.
