Hi, I'm Christine; I'm a Makeup Artist. I'm going to show you how to apply well-rested eye makeup, so to make you look like you got a good amount of sleep. So, this is a simple procedure; all you do is you need to use a few items. The things we need are concealer as well as a pressed powder, a mascara and a couple of brushes; a flat concealer brush and a small fluffy brush. So, the first step is going to be the concealer. I take the flat concealer brush and I dab it in there and we're going to pat this underneath the eye. So, you kind of dot it all along there, getting full coverage. Then, I like to use the other side of the brush to smooth it out and I'll bring it all the way up into the side of the nose as well. Here we go. Do the other side. Patting it on there just gives you a nice even coverage. And just smooth it out and using the brush gives you a, a good amount of control and then, if you want you can put your fingers over it just to buff it. Now, I'm going to set the concealer with the powder. This helps to keep it from creasing, going into the fine lines and letting it last a little longer. So, you just smooth the powder along underneath there, like so. And then finally, we're going to finish with the mascara. Mascara instantly will brighten your eyes and make you look more awake. So, we're just going to start at the base of the lash and work our way up. Sometimes I like wink to get the lashes through the brush. Doing a little wiggle action too if you'd like and try to get all the lashes from the inside to the outside. I have pretty miniscule bottom lashes, but you can use your discretion if you want to do those bottom ones, just a thin coat 'cause you don't want it to look too unnatural. There you go, it is just that easy, really simple to do; only takes a few minutes to look more awake and wide eyed. Really easy, fun, play with it, try out some new products. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Christine. Have a great day. Bye.
