Robert: I'm always asked how to wear bright colored eye shadow, how to wear color.
The most important thing first is you want to ground it with a neutral eye and that's
what I've done. I've just given her a basic neutral eye.
A taupe midtone
a beige shimmer.
Now I'm gonna take
now in order to get the most intensity out of a color, you need to build to
crème on top of, powder on top of crème. And pencils really work great for that.
I'm gonna use a teal pencil.
And I'm first gonna start at the bottom.
And I'm just going to start to layer on the color
by really putting it on there.
And then I'm going to go back over it
with a brush to blend it out.
But by layering this pencil on first,
it's really gonna lay that color on there and then if I put
teal shadow on top of it.
Now I'm going to take my number twenty two brush
and I'm just going to blend it out.
It's almost like you're using this pencil as your first
bit of liner, bit of shadow.
And so I'm taking it and blending it out.
Now, I don't always say you should line the wet, inside the wet tissue.
You should not do it every day.
But for special occasions or when you want to create a fun look,
lining the inside wet tissue especially on this look
really helps intensify the look of that teal.
So I'm going to line the inside wet tissue as well.
And then I'm just going to build and blend,
build and blend, build and blend.
Making sure to
get it right into that lash line.
This side as well.
And my number twenty brush is the right stiffness to really blend out this pencil.
And you can see, look up for me,
by painting the eye neutral first, how that
neutral taupy brown underneath the teal grounds that teal
and makes it more wearable.
Now also with this look I'm gonna do a very very naked mouth,
kind of a taupy color.
Because this look is definitely
all about this hideous eyeliner. No I'm just kidding, all about the teal eyeliner.
I'm gonna start to do the top lid. Look down for me.
Just starting to get it at the base
of the lashes.
Now you want most of the color concentrated at the base of lashes and then you
want it to blend out.
You don't want to be the same intensity of color from lash line
to brow.
That would make you look like Mimi from the Drew Carey show.
Not our goal.
Not that Mimi wasn't cute.
Once again you can see how the
me putting this on top of a nude or
basic eye
really helps ground this teal.
Look down and over, yeah there you go.
Wanting to make sure you surround the entire eye with the teal.
Now I'm going to go back over it with some powder.
And in the corner I'm really pulling it up.
Blend that color out.
Going over the powder underneath.
Or going over the liner with powder underneath.
Turn this way for me, there we go, look down.
Once again starting at the base, pulling it up.
Okay now I'm going to take and I'm bringing some teal eyeshadow up onto the lid.
You still want your most intense teal
on
at your lash line.
You can see how by bringing it up
really blends out that color. Now keep in mind I'm patting it on as you can
see.
And when you pat it on,
you get more intense color
then when you wipe it on.
Hannah, you're special. I don't normally ever do color.
That's why it through me for a loop for a second.
Blending it out a little bit on the edges.
Using my fluffy number twenty eight brush that's clean.
Then I'm going to do a layer of mascara.
Oh much better, I thought I was losing my mind.
Now I'm going to conceal her lip 'cause it's really important that the rest of the face look quite
naked
with this look.
So I'm just going to take my finger and I'm going to just conceal her lip.
And I'm going to do a very taupey
lip because they don't want any more color on the face
other than her eye.
Okay so I finished concealing the lips
and I'm going to take a very taupe
taupey lip liner.
I'm gong to line her lips.
It's still a color that the lips could be
so I don't want you using a taupe
eyeliner on the lips.
Because as you know each formula of product
is formulated for its purpose.
And I'm gonna fill in
just a little bit towards the center.
I never like to just line around the edges.
I'm going to take my lip brush and I'm going to use it to blend out
that lip liner.
Now I'm gonna get a
very soft
taupey nude lipstick color
and go on top of it.
And you can see why so important to have
so little color on the rest of the face when you have that bright of an eye. So this is how you use
color.
When you're using it on the eye that's the only color you're going to have on the face at all.
