Hi! I’m Yvette Parrish, thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Eyes are so much fun, and there are really not a lot of rules. I’m going to give you some tips to some basic outlines. It’s wonderful. You can play with color; you can mix eye shadows together. I have mashed lipsticks and made them eye shadows and blushes. The beauty of makeup is the creativeness and the artisticness in it. There are really no rules. I’m taking a little bit of foundation and I’m applying it on her eyelids. You ask why? Because everyone has a little bit of discoloration on their eyelids. Sometimes they have veins; sometimes they are darker in this orbit, they’re pinker. There is always some issue everyone has on their eyelid. So it’s best to put a little foundation there too, so the whole face is the same texture. When it’s time to apply the powder, the powder grabs evenly all over the face, and you don’t have to worry about the powder grabbing here and not here. Remember we are painting, so we want everything, the whole canvas, to be one color.
