Key point: matte concealer to prep eyelids. If you use a creamy concealer that is not matte, you will have to set it with (translucent) setting powder, otherwise it would crease up and your eyeshadow wont look smooth and flat.

You ever just get the urge to throw your makeup away and start fresh? Im there.

[deedaloca]

I’m so grateful for your brush details ! I’m 52 and learning a completely different way of doing make up these days ☺️

[laryneskridge-williams]

Thank you so much for this detailed make-up tutorial. I am 38 years old, modeled, had make-up professionally done, and picked up tips here and there, but have never had anyone explain to me what brushes to use, how, and why. You're beautiful, flawless, and Queen.

[BelleOfThaBall]

You are so well spoken. You explained the product and the reason for it very well. For someone like me who doesn't really know anything about makeup but has recently become interested in it, I was able to follow along and understand the reasons why my previous makeup attempts didn't quite work. I don't really like the "full beat/baked" look and rather a more natural look so this was very helpful-nothing too dramatic. Thank you, I was able to follow and 'mimic' to achieve the look I wanted.

[MsArlet]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! Girl, this is a freaking fantastic tutorial. One of BEST I've seen - so so helpful with the brushes, sizes, shapes, reasons, SLOW, and steady application and explanations. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! This is totally doable and I can't wait to try it. Eyeshadow / winged look is my Achilles heel - and you've made this actually doable.

[EM-sksc]

I've come back to this tutorial like 9 times. Every time I want to do an eye look for a special occasion I come back for these basics - you're a wonderful teacher!

[Peppermintmocha]

This is the most detailed tutorial that was easy to follow and understand. I love how you broke down and explained what colors to use on each part of the eyelid, as well as explained how to apply each color. Thank you again for this tutorial!

[theoriginldw]

i buy a lot of eyeshadow palettes with the intention of using them knowing full well i don’t know how. it’s about time i grow up and learn 😭

[Sultry]

Loved it. She’s beautiful and it wasn’t overdone. I don’t know how to apply makeup and I felt this was easy to follow.

[coconuts]

Thank you so much for placing the brush on your palm to show size, so many tutorials don't do that and I can't get a sense of how big the brush is and if I have something comparable!

[sweetbaby]

This is truly one OF THE MOST detailed eyeshadow tutorial I have seen here on UTube. Not only did you explain which concealer or primer to use but you explained which brushes to use and why you are using them. And exactly where to place you shadows. You did an amazing job and by the way your makeup is flawless. Thanks for sharing. I am going to add this to my play list and so I can practice. Oh by the way how do you know what colors to use that will look great on your skin tone or does that even matter.

[SamanthaHenry]

reminds me of when I discovered beauty youtube in 2008/2009 ... aww the nostalgia

[erickamitchell]

Sis!!! I am 40 years old, and for my entire life I never understood why my eyeshadow tended to muddy up into one mass color despite blending with multiple tones. Thank you for sharing the importance of PRECISION and using the right brush for your eye size.

[lateciaUNiQUE]

This is the best eye shadow tutorial I’ve seen

[patriciaharris]

THIS is a tutorial hunty! Finally, someone who is actually skilled at TEACHING what they know.

[marian.]

Thank you for this! I'm 41 and makeup has come such a long way since the 90s and early 00s. I'm only now starting to learn. So excited to find such a wonderful truly beginners video!

[redneckbeautywithdebra]

Hello honey (from Texas👋) you look so beautiful and thanks so much for all the advice. I'm a 51 year old MUE since I was 5 and watch beginner videos all the time. I want to learn something new everyday of my life. You, sweet girl, have introduced me to a couple of new brushes, so thank you again. Stay groovy ✌❤🎵😎💃

[coconuts]

This was a great tutorial for me, I've been trying to get the right transition shade for my skin tone and many pallette brown color shades don't show up on my skin since I'm South Asian. But the way you described a couple shades darker got me the right brown for my skin tone.

[cynthiabartee]

This was an excellent tutorial. I have been wearing make up for years but I love the way women wear makeup today and I am learning a lot about brushes and blending. This is a great one!
