Okay so, when you give dimension, you want to soften up. You want to keep it, you want to keep it nice and dark on the outside and on the inside, just want to give it a soft look. So same colors I was using before, so I want to be a little soft here and then I will bring it in a little bit and just make it a little bit softer. Once you did it soft, you’re going to go back and get your mixture brush—orange and gold. Try these. These are two great colors and now I’m really softening it up. So he is going to be—just cleaning up, it’s going to be beautiful eyes. Now in the inside part of the eyes, you want to really want to split it up. So we want to use the color that’s something lighter but you want to be very, very careful when you’re using white. Be careful on colors like this and this. Try to avoid them by themselves. You can take it a white but you mix that with something else. If you use a white by itself, it’s going to just end up glowing in the dark. And looking very gray and ashy so if you’re going to use a white, mix it with something else or find the color that is not white and still has a nice bright tone. So close your eyes and you want to put it right in the center of the eyelid so you want to put it on any corner and you want to take it up. Can you see how you’re creating dimension from the down going to the side? You see the light and the dark. Now, let’s say we’ve finally putting up brighter color for you. Yellows create any kind of redness. That’s what yellows are good for, to created the red. So I pick the yellow color, it’s kind of depends on what you are using. Color here is really important, but you should use it rare. Yellow breaks red. Okay so here we’re going to put a little bit of yellow and I'm going to take this up a little higher too. So now I’m really opening this side, very similar to the other one. But right now, we’re just closing this side. And again this is the part of the make up application that is a little scarier, and when we started because what we’re doing is working all morning, all day and probably all night. So we can make this lovely young lady feel comfortable. You want to make sure you really have thin capered brush. It’s angled and it’s very fine and it’s hard and you have a good control, this will hold it in place. These are my brushes but you can use anything else. You can use my brushes. You can use the brushes that you might already have. I want to show you this technique with a good brush. So those products are what you really need. And remember you can always learn, you can always add on. And now, we’re going to put some blushes on. Don’t forget the clean up steps. Clean up step is very important. So basically, after the clean up step, we’re going to use something light again, not too light and put it here. What they actually do here is they kind of cover. What I’ll do then is I will take the light color and not that too light, and you can go right underneath the eyebrow. But you see, you could just do a thin line right underneath the eyebrow and you create that little dimension that you have to put in. You see how that really freaks out the brows and create a sharper look. This will all mix in. You can take your regular all over brush again, so doing that. Okay now, using the brush, eyelash is very important and then I'm going to do this and putting it up. So when Dominic opens his, it looks very, very odd. So we’re going to take our mascara, you see, once the eyelashes go up, you can’t even see the contrast anymore. But this gives you time to go back and you can always add wherever colors you want. But once you create surface or space, you know where I think it’s going to go. And the reason I put in the eyelashes last is they’re going to help to create the final look. And now we’re creating that contour, and very, very slight you do not have to have anything too, too strong, but you can always add on. Did you see how I just created the contour? So when he opens, now it’s really going to pop. Once you’ve created the basis for more everything it’s going to go, it’s so easy to add onto it. Then you’re going to add some red and you see how just slightly changing colors in the look. But with the lashes, the best way to make them is to use the mascara, holding your finger right on top of the middle of the eyelashes, and move it back and forth in a sideways motion, you’re connecting the fake lashes with the real lashes, now you have one nice—one long nice looking lashes. So now, the eyelashes are done. We’re going to do a little bit on the eyebrows. I will just be very, very delicately choosing the colors, just fill it in and we’ll go back to this but right now we’re going to do everything else. And don’t be afraid to use brown. Okay remember the little sponge that we used in the beginning, I'm going to take that same sponge and I’m going to do this. I'm going to remove all the excess make up that I just pound onto the face. With your own make up, you put in kind of the foundation. This is what I do when I make up first, and also when you’re air brushing, you want to make sure that once the eyes are done, this will not affect anything. Alright so we’re going to take all the make up blocks that was really on his face—all, everything you have to mix in to the foundation. Okay then, I'm going to use—I'm going to take the concealer and the A foundation right now because this is the concealer that Dominic usually uses as his foundation and I'm going to use a little bit lighter. I’m going to start at of with the foundation. I'm going to use the light part as his highlights and I'm going to show you some quick tips and tricks. Now this is what I’ll do on air brushing—
