Hi, my name is Kathryn Fernandez and I'm a makeup artist in Los Angeles, California. Today I'm going to show you how to always look fresh. These are the tools you'll need: a paper towel, a little bit of water, matte nude eyeshadow, and also a de-puffing eye agent. Okay, let's get started. The first thing that you're going to do is apply your de-puffing eye agent and you can use the applicator directly, but because I'm a makeup artist and I put makeup on multiple people, I'm going to put it on my hand first and then how you use this is you simply pat it. Working on set, it's generally a 12 to 14 hour day, so I like to use this when the actors and actresses are starting to feel the hours, 'cause obviously, you're supposed to look fresh at all times, you're respect of the time of day or how long you've been working on set. And the reason that you want to pat it in is so that the makeup that you have there already doesn't move. And what this does is this adds a little bit of moisture and water into your eyes so it really kind of re-hydrates them and kind of gets them a little bit more awake looking. While that's soaking into your skin, you're going to take your paper towel and wet it slightly. The reason you want to do this is because you're going to want to give a little bit of moisture to your skin as well because the same effect will happen. You'll have a fresh glow to you. Okay, so after you wet your paper towel, you're going to simply pat it on. You can also use the nice little Evian spray things that they have, but this is just another way to do it. Okay, so go ahead and pat it on. The last thing you want to do is actually go in with your lid brush, and your cream eyeshadow and kind of go in, and do a nice little coat of eyeshadow, just to really awaken and brighten the eyes and that way you can work for another 12 hours. Okay, so once you've done all that, you are now set and fresh. Thanks for watching.
