00:01Hey everyone, it's Taylor from Refinery29.
00:04One of our favorite looks on the runway last season was the Jason Blue Ombre Eye.
00:07So today, I'm going to show you how to do it.
00:10Although the Ombre Eye looks like it can be complicated, it's pretty easy and only requires a couple of products.
00:15First, I'm going to start with the Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer on the lid.
00:19And since this is a sheer formula, you don't really have to worry about getting it on too evenly.
00:26As an eye base, I'm going to go in with the Laura Mercier Coal Pencil in Black Turquoise.
00:30This is going to pick up a lot of the green that you see in the final look.
00:36I'm just going to use this as a base, so we're just going to kind of get it onto the
00:40lid, not really caring where it is,
00:41because we're going to blend it out in a second with a brush.
00:47Make sure to just stay on the eyelid from the lash line to the crease.
00:50You don't want to go over the crease with this.
00:53So you're going to look a little crazy for a second.
00:56Then we're going to take a really stiff, dense brush and blend this color out, up to the crease.
01:04I'm going to take a little bit of the color and go under the eye as well.
01:08And if you get too much on it, you can pull a little bit off with a clean fingertip.
01:15So the color that they used on the runway was actually a MAC eyeshadow called Club.
01:19So I'm going to use this today to show you.
01:21This color is really, really interesting because when you look at it in the container, it almost looks like a
01:25shimmering green,
01:26but it's actually a brown matte shadow with green glitter in it.
01:30We're going to get a really cool sort of ombre effect when we put it on the eye.
01:34So using the same stiff bristle brush, we're going to pick up the color on either side of the brush,
01:39and then we're going to pat it onto the lid, not wipe it on, because we want it to almost
01:42look like a beetles wing does,
01:44like sort of a two-dimensional look.
01:53And I'm going to take this color from the lash line to just above the crease almost, a little bit
01:59underneath.
02:00So once you've got the color placed on the lid, you're going to go in with a fluffier brush to
02:04put the color into the crease.
02:06This is where it gets kind of cool.
02:09Because this is actually a brown eyeshadow, when we blend it into the crease, it's going to appear brown.
02:15And that's how you get that ombre effect, going from brown down to the green.
02:23Now on the runway, they pulled it out so it was more of a severe cat eye, but that can
02:28look a little bit too dramatic.
02:29So for today, we're just going to do it more of a smoky effect on the eye by going just
02:35above the crease.
02:41Also on the runway, they used a thin liquid line to line the eyes, but to make this more wearable,
02:46we're going to use a black kohl pencil and just smudge it into the lash line.
02:50So I'm going to be using the Givenchy Magic Kohl pencil in number one, which is black.
02:56And I'm actually just going to lift the lid up and place the pencil right into the lash line.
03:10I'm actually going up under the eyelashes, because this will give really good definition without getting too much drama added
03:17to the look.
03:19I'm going to finish the look off with the YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Mascara.
03:24This is a volumizing mascara, so it's going to give us extra definition.
03:28You just want to get close to the lash line on this and pull out.
03:33We already have a lot of the definitions in the kohl pencil.
03:39So there's how you translate a dramatic runway look to a more wearable nighttime look.
03:43Here's what you look for.
03:44Thanks.
03:51We'll see you next time.
