Slap this on and do this." 203 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,080 When you laid out your foundation, like, "OK, which shade do you think works?" 204 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,680 Like, a lot of people would rather just guess and it look bad 205 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:35,080 than to, like, actually communicate with the model and learn as well. 206 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,040 Matching skin tones is one of the things 207 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,000 that I've found the most challenging. 208 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,560 And you've colour matched quite well. Don't worry! 209 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,320 Leigh's glossy lip needs to make an impact 210 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,360 so choosing the right shade of blue is essential. 211 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,800 The colour of blue that he's laid down first... 212 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,600 That's not the sort of blue that he wants. 213 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,200 It's very, very pale. 214 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,400 Leomie's skin tone is so gorgeous and so rich, 215 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,800 to put something quite cool on it, 216 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,920 it needs to be really powerful really strong. 217 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,080 That's not saying bold to me. 218 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,040 Also having doubts about his colour choice, 219 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,200 Leigh rethinks his tone of blue. 220 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,840 I'm wondering whether we even need this base on your lips, 221 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,560 and whether that blue on its own would be strong enough. 222 00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,360 Mm, how are you feeling?

I'm slightly 325 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,720 worried about the... 326 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,920 this one here with the red underneath, because that can 327 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,960 look really evil. OK. 328 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,480 It's definitely something to be careful of. 329 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,240 Have you ever done a red eye?

OK. 339 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:25,040 And I've already taken into consideration about knocking the red 340 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,880 back - with it going on to a deeper complexion, 341 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,600 it's finding the balance. Mmm. 342 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,640 Yeah, I think we really need to look at it in stages. 343 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,640 Be confident with your instinct. 344 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,080 Just do your thing.
