Hi, my name is Teresa, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to teach you how to apply light makeup for green eyes. The tools for this segment are going to be a primer, a light eye shadow, a gold eye shadow, a brown eye shadow, a flat brush and an eye shadow brush. So, to achieve this look we are first going to take our primer and we're going to apply it to the lid of our eye. This is going to help our eye shadow adhere and last longer and it will also bring out the color that we're going to be using. Then we're going to take our light eye shadow and we're going to apply it over the base of our eyelid and this is going to create a highlight for our brow bone as we add our other colors in. We're just going to place that on there like that and we're going to do the same thing with the other eye, highlight our brow bone. Then I'm going to take the gold color and I am going to brush it over my eyelid and this is going to create a natural look that looks really fresh in the daytime, very light and natural. So after we brush our gold on, we're going to take a light brown for the crease and we're just going to brush that in there and just blend it on in and so that is how you create a natural eye shadow for green eyes. The tools for this segment are a primer, a light eye shadow, a gold eye shadow, a brown eye shadow, a flat brush and an eye shadow brush. Thanks for watching.
