Hi, this is Kristie Kennedy, professional makeup artist. Today, we'll be discussing how to do rainbow makeup on dark skin. When using rainbow makeup, creativity is essential. There are no limits to what your look can be. The tools you'll need to create a rainbow look are at least three to five colors. We're going to go with lime green, yellow and orange today. Let's start. Our first step is to apply a neutral based color to the lid of the eye, starting from the inner corner working our way outward. This is going to help open up the eyes, already creating a highlight at the brow bone. And do the same for the other eye, all the way up to the brow bone. That is our first step. Our second step is to apply our first color, about a quarter in and then the same for the left eye. We have to leave space for the other colors and that is our second step. Our third step is to apply the next color, leaving room for one last color and do the same on the other eye. Place the color where your last color ended and then we'll blend over all. Our final step is to apply our light yellow on the inside of the eyelid which helps to open up the eye and brighten for a nice finishing touch. And do the same for the other eye. And blend all our colors together and that is your final step. And that is how you do rainbow makeup on dark skin. Remember your take home product, at least three to five vibrant colors. This is Kristie Kennedy. Thank you for watching.
