Hi my name is Marcella and I'm a makeup artist and I'm here today to show you how to put on colorful eye shadow. Colorful eye shadow is a great twist on an everyday look and it's especially great for the Summertime. So let's get started. Some of the tools that you're going to need are a light iridescent for all over the eye and I'm using an off white. Next, a lime green and again it's iridescent and lastly, I'm using an iridescent navy blue for the contour. So let's get started. Begin by applying the lighter color all over the lid from the lashes to the eyebrows. For this, I'm using a fluffier brush with longer, looser bristles. Next I'm going to apply the green with a longer bristled flat brush which will help deposit more color than the fluffier brush. Be sure to stay on the lid and not go above the brow bone. To add a little more depth, I'm going to put the darker blue in the corners of the eye. Don't worry about getting the colors perfect just yet. I'm going to make sure the shape is even first and then we'll make sure everything is blended and flawless. Now to finish blending, take the first brush you were using and blend in small circles to erase the line of demarcation between both colors. Finally, with a small smudge brush I'm going to line the bottom lashes in the same color to tie everything together. Remember to add your mascara to complete the look and this is how you put on colorful eye shadow. Thank you for watching.
