This video features a make-up tutorial, hosted by professional make-up artis, Davee Troublefield, on creating a contour with eye shadow. For this tutorial, Davee uses a rich, deep brown eye shadow, applying it to the crease of the eye. Moving from the outer edge in, he applies small amounts of eyeshadow and gently blends it into the crease until the desired look is achieved.

Step 1: Gather the Materials for Creating Contour With Eye Shadow

In order to achieve a contour with eye shadow, you will need:

A pony tail brush
A deeper toned eye shadow
Blending eye brush (optional)

Step 2: Apply the Eye Shadow

Using the pony tail brush, sweep the eyeshadow into the crease of the eyelid, moving from the outer edge toward the inner edge of the eye.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYSAXq3cj_4&feature=player_embedded#! A pony tail brush is natural brush, with medium-length bristles, arranged to form a subtle point.http://www.lauramercier.com/store/shop/Brushes-for-Eyes-_Pony-Tail-Brush_prod220096 This brush is ideal for applying and blending make-up into the crease of the eyelid.

Step 3: Blend the Eyeshadow into the Crease

Once you have applied a small amount of eye shadow to the crease of the eyelid, gradually increase the amount of eye shadow, until the desired look is achieved.
