Jinena: Hi, I'm Jinena (Ph) with Picture Perfect Makeup. Here we are in Washington DC at PRatPartners where I'm going to show you how to do the classic natural eye. First, we are going to do a eye shadow primer. A primer is great to even out your eyelids as well to prevent the eye shadow from creasing throughout the day. We're going to need a brush, we're going to do the primer all over her eyelid and you want to go back and tap it in with your fingers. Then we're going to follow and set that with a neutral eye shadow. So, we're going to do a neutral eye shadow to set our primer all over the eyelid. Then we're going to do more of a nude shade on her lower eyelid. And you nicely want to blend that out. Then we're going to do eyeliner, powder eyeliner. So, you definitely want to wet the brush. You can use a darker shade such as dark brown, steeper black. We're going to use the dark brown on Kelly. So, you want to do little tiny baby strokes right along the lash line. Last, we're going to do mascara. Here we go, we have your natural classic look, great for everyday, going to work, or when you simply just want to put just a little bit of eye shadow.
