Hi, my name is Ana, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to show you how to apply glamour makeup for tan skin. I'm going to start off by using this eye shadow palette. I'm going to use the light, light pink eye shadow on my brow bone. I'm going to use this neutral toned brown eye shadow all over my lid, the teal in my crease, and this dark purple color on the other corner. I'm also going to use a black and gold eyeliner pencil, and a highlighter in pink. Lets get started. I'm going to start off by applying the light brown eye shadow all over the lid. It's a neutral tone and I'm going to add definition around this color. I'm going to move on to the light green teal eye shadow. Pick up a small amount using a blending brush and just apply it to the crease. This is a great way to add a small amount of color and also define your eye shape at the same time. I'm doing small circular motions to get a good blend. I'm going to add the darkest shade which is the dark eggplant color to the outer corner of the eyes. Using the same blending brush I'm going to start by applying to the outer corner. And then I'm going to pull it into the crease. This is going to add some depth to the eye. And all of these colors are great for tan skin because they are all neutral tones. Neutral tones are usually made up of warm shades and you'll find warm colors naturally in tan skin. I'm just going to run the blending brush all over the eye to make sure it's well blended. The last color is the light pink and I'm just going to use that to highlight the brow bone. Next, I'm going to run the gold and black sparkley eyeliner on the top and lower lash line. For the bottom, I'm going to use it in the inner water line of the eye. The last step is to take a little bit of the highlighter shimmer in pink and just add a little bit to the cheeks. And if you have some left over on the brush just run it all down the center of the face. You may have a little bit of fallout from applying the eye shadow, you can take a damp cloth or a brush and just easily wipe it away. Wearing glamour makeup is fun. If you add a little bit of shimmer to the cheeks it just adds that extra bit of glamour. Thanks for watching.
