Mom, I can't talk right now because I'm doing a tutorial for Vogue.
OK. Let me call you back.
I don't think she cares.
Hi Vogue. This is Jessica Alba.
Watch me do a dramatic, graphic-eye look.
I have, kind of, a dirty little secret.
This is my first attempt at doing a graphic eye.
On camera.
With you.
So, here we go.
I have my foundation on.
So, there's that.
First, I'm going to lay down the lighter pigment.
I'm going to use my finger.
I'm just going to put it right over the entire lid.
Now, I want to blend it.
Just get, like, a fluffy brush
and if you, in a circular motion,
just kind of blend out around the edges,
you can't really mess up.
So, now I'm going to use the wet lavender colour.
I'm going to use it sort of like an eyeliner.
Whenever I'm going to do a thicker line on my eye,
I like to use an angled brush with, like,
a metallic or another colour first.
And when you do go in with your liquid liner with that fine tip,
it allows you to, sort of, trace where you've already laid down
the shadow.
So, now I'm going to go in with that dark eggplant
and I'm going to wet it.
Wetting a dry eyeshadow is a way to, sort of,
treat it like a liquid liner.
But it's a lot more forgiving.
Because I did this initially with the lighter,
I'm just, sort of, tracing over where that was.
And then I'm going to go in with a little Q-tip
and just, kind of, twist and clean it up.
Now, I have to do the other side.
They're never even.
It's really hard to get the right and the left matching.
You can go in with a makeup remover wipe
and if you put a really thin Q-tip, and then you drape it over
you can just go in and fix any mess up
and really even out that line.
That's better.
OK.
Feeling good about this.
So, now I'm going for a fine-tip liquid liner.
The liquid liner just really pops
and it looks great when it's next to the lash line.
Make it as thick as you want,
as thin as you want.
And you can draw it out, you know,
really as high as you want and at any angle.
It's, sort of, your comfort level.
Now, it looks a little crazy because I need my eyebrows on.
I always like to go a little bit lighter than my actual hair colour.
I start mid and work my way out.
But with a graphic eye, you need to have a strong brow.
because it balances out the face, you see the difference.
I think with a graphic eye
you need to have a nice, clean skin look
because you want your eyes to pop.
I really like to use a bronzer that has mica in it,
which means those little shimmery bits.
Not so much that you look like a disco ball
but just gives definition to the face.
Go into the cheekbones.
Where you would normally put a little blush
but instead you're using bronzer.
And then bring it into the crease of your lid.
And it just sort of, like, brings it all together.
Now, the lip.
I'm going to use a liner.
It should be more of, like, a nude lip.
I'm going to go in with a liquid lip.
I'm going to use it with my finger
and, kind of, like, use it like a stain.
I forgot to curl my lashes.
What was I thinking?
True story.
I was on a movie one time
and, you know this little rubbery thing,
it wasn't inside.
Guess what happened to my lashes.
They got a haircut.
Mascara. Last piece of the puzzle.
I think mascara is that last product
that transforms the whole look to level 10 instantly.
Like, you can really pile on that mascara.
And I would even encourage trying to form little clumps
because it just gives you that more dramatic Sixties fashion vibe.
I'm done.
Oh, wait.
I need a dramatic...
Here she is. Here she is.
Alright, guys.
