Hi, I'm Ashley, and I'm a makeup artist. And today, I'm going to show you how to do flashy night makeup for fair skin. This is perfect if you want to go out on the town. First, you'll need a light shadow, a bronze shadow, a dark gray shadow, a pretty pink blush, black eyeliner and black mascara, a blush brush, a double ended shadow brush, and a wide shadow brush. And also a pretty shimmering lipstick. Your first step is to apply your light shadow all over your eyelid. You will apply your shadow all the way up to your brow to add a nice base color. And this actually has a pearl sheen to it so you have a little shine added. Add a little bit in the corners of your eye to brighten the eye. And you can take your finger to kind of blend that. Next, you'll need your bronze shadow to apply just on the lid. We'll start with applying in the inner corner of your eye all the way to the outside. And just on your lid. And you can clean up the mess a little bit afterwards if anything falls. Next, you'll need your dark gray shadow and we are going to apply that just along the crease. We'll start on the outside and follow your natural crease. And you can play it up a little bit on the outside and add a tiny bit more for a smoky effect. Next take your light shadow and go back and blend that upper line. Next you'll need your black liner to outline your eyes. And you'll start on the outside. And it's okay if the line is not perfect you can go back and blend it afterwards. Now you can go back and blend with your smudgy. Next you'll need your pretty pink blush. And we are going to add a little color to the cheeks. For flashy makeup you can go a little bit overboard. It is nighttime and that will make your cheeks stand out. And you can always go back with your foundation brush and blend that. Make sure you got a nice line of color diagonal all the way up to your ear. Now, you'll need a black mascara and we'll coat the lashes. I'm using a volumizing black mascara which thickens the lashes. And also the thicker you apply your liner on the top the thicker your lashes look as well. And now for your last step your shimmery lipstick. You'll apply this all over just to add a touch of color for your flashy look. And there you go. That's how you do a flashy nighttime look for fair skin. If you want to go out on the town, this is the look for you. Thanks for watching.
