Hi, my name is Teresa, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to teach you how to apply eye shadow on heavy eyelids. The tools that we're going to need are eye shadow, a flat brush, another flat brush, an eye shadow brush and more shadow. So, when creating a look on heavy eyelids, we're going to apply dark colors to the lids and we're going to put this on the lid because it's going to create a rounding effect, it's going to push in our lid and make it seem as if it's rounded to create depth. We're going to do the same to the other eye as a highlight for our brow which will bring this area out. And I'm also going to bring it down to pop that area out and create more dimension. I'm just going to blend this brown out. And so that is how you apply makeup to a heavy eyelid. And remember the tools used to create this look was an eye shadow brush, a flat brush, another flat brush, eye shadow and more eye shadow. Thanks for watching.
