ERIN KEITH: Hi. I'm Erin and you're watching Expert Village, and today we're going to be working on corrective base makeup. Okay. Now, we are going to work on highlighting the cheeks, jawline, and the brow bone. Now, for the cheeks and the jawline, we're going to do the same thing with the loose powder and your angled sponge. Butt of the sponge, tap, tap. Get some rid--rid some of that excess right there, and you're going to go right under the eyelid, the bottom eyelid, but you're going to go right there on top of the cheekbone, now which you can see 'cause see has very lovely cheekbones. Okay. Let's do that for right now. Also, doing this too, putting the powder under here, you can also do two things with one--at once with putting loose powder under the eyes if you ever do any heavy dark makeup or whatever. Whenever the dark makeup falls from the eyes, this powder will catch it. And once you are ready to sweep it off, it will sweep off the dark as well and not mess up your whole base here. So then, we've got for the chee--or the jawline right here, we're just going to do a little tiny bit. We don't want to do too much but just a tiny bit. Right here, thank you. Okay. All right. And now we're going to do the brow bone, which I like to use--I don't really like to use the loose powder 'cause it's kind of dangerous when using it above the eye, it's like it can possibly get in there a little easier but just maybe a standard white eye shadow is appropriate. So just go right under your eyebrow like so and just kinda blend in. See how it's nice, uplifts the eye--eyebrow bone a little bit. All right. Right here. Just put as much as you think is needed or just highlight it as you want that brow bone. Right there. Okay. That one's pretty easy. I--now, we're going to go back and just brush off all your stuff. So here we go, just take out with clean sweeps right here, away from the face. That's nicely highlighted the cheekbone area. Okay. Now turn your face this way for me. There we go. I'm going to get the rest of that off. All right. All right. All right, and the other side. Very nice. Okay. There we go.
