Makeup for a Formal Valentine's Day Date Video

Hi. I'm Christian Zamorra here with Real Beauty. As you know, Valentines Day is upon. Okay Leah, so for Valentines day, you are going out for a formal dinner and you're wearing a cocktail dress and we're doing a smoky eye. That sounds great. And I'm gonna start with your eyes first. I'm gonna do your eyes first completely and then I'll do your foundation just in case any eye shadow or anything falls and just wipe it away easily. For the smoky eye, it should really look as velvety as possible, close to the lash line, and then very soft and shimmery as you move away from the lash line. So now I'm gonna take a black eye shadow right along the line, the eye line that you just applied and gently lift. Now this is the silver metallic and then gently going right on top of the other colors that we've applied. So now I'm gonna use a flesh toned Chanel color and then concentrate in the inner corner up to the crease. And the outside of the crease on the outer corner, we gently wanna blend outward. I'm gonna use a gel liner. You could also use a liquid liner but you wanna go over the liner that you just applied to make it very black. Now I'm using the same brush. I'm not applying any more liner but I'm gonna go on the bottom lash line, just along the lash line in the center of the eyes, avoiding the corners, both inner and outer, and I'm using kind of a dreamy greenish gold chocolate brown and then I'm gonna apply that to the outer corners, smudging in with the black liner I just applied. This color is best for greenish, hazel colored eyes. I'm gonna come in with the gold color now Leah and I'm gonna go just on the inside, just really brighten that up. So Leah, I'm just applying your foundation. You have beautiful skin so I'm not gonna use a heavy concealer on you. So I just started using the foundation right under your eyes and then blending down. Now I'll do a little bit of powder with that as well. I'm gonna add a light apricot to your cheeks just right along the apple just to give a little warmth to the skin without putting too much color. This is a Kevin Aucoin lip gloss. It's a pot gloss so it has a little more consistency than a regular lip gloss. Mascara, and there's your light smoky.
