We're working on the contour on our beauty makeup here, and I talked last time about just really putting a taupe color here to design the eyes. I've actually taken a light color in here. Go ahead and close for me. And I'm putting a light color in here. This is really going to do two things. It's going to bring this area forward and not make it appear so dark, and it's also going to make my contour area show up a lot more so I'll have a lot more of an interesting eye. Just putting color on an eye it can be very pretty, but you're not really designing it. Doing this contouring, highlight and contouring technique you're really designing the eye. So now we're going to move into powders. I've already put the light where I want it and the dark where I want it, and before she opens her eyes I really want to get in there with the powder because the powder is going to set the makeup. So everywhere where I have a light color, I'm going to put some light powder. I'm using just a frosty peach here. And then what we'll do is we'll take a darker color and we're going to put it right where I put the dark color on her eyes.
