Hi, my name is Jamie Hoover with Faceitjamie.com, and this is black eye shadow tips for round eyes. The tools that you will need for this are a black eye pigment, a black eyeliner, a smudge brush and a blending brush. So, to get started, I'm going to take my black eyeliner. I'm going to add the black eyeliner to my daytime look, just to deepen it up. Start in the corner and blend it about halfway over, same on the other side and then take it in the corners. You want the black to be prominent in the outer corners of the eyes just to open up round eyes. Your next tool is your black eye shadow pigment and crease blending brush and I'm going to start on the outer corner where the eyeliner ends and just blend and I'm just taking this with the colors that I'm already wearing from daytime and blending a little bit of black through the crease to give it a smoky look and blend it down by the liner. And do the same on the other eye. And, I'm just going to blend over again with my blending brush. I'm not pulling the eye, I'm just holding it in place so that it doesn't move and it blends really nicely. And get your pretty smoky evening look and if you need to just clean up underneath with the brush. My name is Jamie Hoover with Faceitjamie.com and that was black eye shadow tips for round eyes using a black pigment, a crease brush, a blending brush and a black eyeliner. I hope you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching.
