Questions & AnswersHi, I'm Kate Shepherd on behalf of Expert Village and today I'll be showing you a face make over. So, I'm gonna be using three shadows on Sherri. A base shade at the top. We're gonna use more of a taupe for the crease and lid of her eye and then a really beautiful plum for the other corner. So what you want to do is we're gonna to start with this base shade. It's a really soft pink with these really light shimmers on it, it's really beautiful. "Go ahead and close your eyes." What you want to do is start from the lid and you just want to softly blend the color out even all the way up to her brow bone. Color like this can work as a highlight. So, you can be really liberal with how you blend it in. You could see it gives her that really soft glow to her eye lid. The next step is we're going to use this taupe shade. You don't need to use too much of it, but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start right on her lid starting at her lash line and pull the color up. So this is gonna give her sort of a real light smoky eye. It's really really pretty for a day time and you can definitely apply it for night time if you are going out to dinner or something. You could see how it gives her that soft definition and you want to make sure it's very evenly blended. The third shade that we're gonna use is a real beautiful plum. So this color I'm just gonna use right on the outer corner of her eye and I'm just gonna push it in, I'm gonna smudge it in and then blend it from there. You can see it gives her a real soft define look. It's not too over the top. Now if you wet these shadows down, the color will come out a lot more. So, you can really apply it up depending on where you are going. Because Sherri has green eyes, this plum powder is really really ideal for her.
