00:00Oh, we're getting sexual. None of this all-American girl BS.
00:10So, whenever I try to get that really strong, sexy, like, inner eyeliner look,
00:16I just look crazy when I do it, like a BDI little rat. I swear. No, I really look nuts.
00:22What I would love to do is show you a really easy way to get that black inside the eye,
00:26give you that bold look that you love in young Hollywood,
00:29but make it very easy by pairing it with mined metals for a modern smokey look.
00:34Awesome. Let's do it.
00:36The easiest way to start is with your black pencil liner.
00:40You always want to layer your color. If I was to put shadow down first on the lid
00:45and then go over it with black, I'd never get that true depth of color.
00:49And I'm lining right on that water line from left to right.
00:54I'm then going to line also on the top water line.
00:58I'm going to take a matte taupe shadow.
01:00And the reason I'm starting with taupe is that's going to give you a guideline for your line,
01:05but also going to give you soft depth and dimension,
01:07and take away that hardness that you really don't love.
01:11So, I'm using a liner brush, and I'm bringing this taupe shadow right along the lash line at the top.
01:17So, I'm just taking the same taupe shadow, and I'm lining right along the bottom lash line.
01:24We don't need that line to be perfect. We want it to be a little smoky and a little sexy.
01:29Now, when we go back in with our black pencil, we've got a guide,
01:32but we also have something that won't give us that stark black hard line that you don't love.
01:39So, taupe is our friend with the smoky eye, especially because we don't want that black to look hard.
01:45We just want it to have great presence. So, I'm going back in with my taupe,
01:48and this time I'm using a soft dome brush, and I'm going to bring that right into the crease,
01:55back and forth like a windshield wiper.
01:57I love Mind Metallics for you. They're great this season,
02:00and they're going to make that bold black look really beautiful.
02:04So, what I'm doing here is using a black that has a bit of texture to it,
02:07and I'm lining right over my pencil, and now we're going in with a soft gold shimmer shadow.
02:14Wherever I put my brush down is my strongest deposit of color,
02:17so I'm starting right in the center of the lid.
02:20I'm using a really soft brush so my color doesn't look hard,
02:25and I'm sculpting out the eye from crease to lash.
02:29Next, mascara. I'm applying my mascara with a fan brush so that I can get right to the root.
02:35And then we're going back in with our gold right under the eye, and finishing with a bit of black,
02:42a little bit of cleanup with our foundation brush.
02:46Alright, I mean, give it a try.
02:48I'm going to make you do it.
02:49Okay. You do it in such a smooth line, I'm like, uh.
02:54I'm sure it's also much more difficult when someone scary looking is staring over your shoulder.
02:59No, I like it. You're a nice teacher.
03:02Alright, this is it. Did I do it?
03:05Looks fantastic.
03:06Thank you so much, James. I really love it.
03:08I feel very fierce, so keep watching on Refinery29.
03:13We'll see you next time.
