To properly wear eyeshadow, the first thing you will need to do is make sure your face is clean.
Then, add a primer to your eyelids. This will help the eyeshadow stay on your eyelids longer. Once the primer is dry, apply your eyeshadow using a cotton tipped swab or eyeshadow brush. Evenly cover your eyelid.
Depending on the look, you may want to apply eyeshadow up to your eyebrow.
If you would like to wear more than one color of eyeshadow, apply the darkest color first. Keep applying your selected colors one at a time, working towards the lightest color of your pallet.
Finally, using a blending brush, blend all of the colors together to create a clean and seamless look. Clean up around the eye if necessary.
If desired, using a small tipped brush, apply highlighted accents in the corner of the eye lid with a shimmering eyeshadow.
People are taking their eyeshadow game to the next level now, and there's no reason why you shouldn't be one of them! The thing is with eye makeup, its very binary, either you have a hit or things go horribly wrong. First up you need to make sure that you have the right tools to apply your makeup, so you'll need:
– a Flat Stiff Brush which you can use to apply eyeshadow to the eyelid, as well as under the lower lash line
– a Pencil Brush is used to apply the product onto the lower lash line
– a Stiff Dome Brush which is perfect for applying and blending colors for smooth transitions
– a Fluffy Dome Brush again used for blending
Then it's all about applying an even base and choosing a shade that works with your skin tone and your outfit. Generally, less is more, if you keep this in mind you can't go too far wrong.
If you want to have all eyes on you, as a woman you want gorgeous, delicate eye makeup in shades which are all the rage this season.
Seasonal Eyeshadows to Leave you in Awe
It doesn’t matter what your individual style is, it's a good idea to be aware of certain trends. Have you heard of foil eyeshadow for instance? If you want ‘foiled looks’ you’ll use a wet brush to apply a metallic eyeshadow shade.
As with any make-up really, there are so many ways to incorporate foiled eye makeup, and while heavy metals are in, it’s time for you to see how you can create your own unique look with it. You may want dark, smoldering, mysterious eyes for one event and lighter plum or brown shades for another occasion.
Create your own Style
Of course, eye-catching eyeshadow comes down to choosing colors that suit your personality and eye color. It’s cool to create your own style but there are always some great tips to help you towards looks you’re confident with. Nobody’s saying you have to stick with one color either. Maybe 3 shades appeal to you.
One tip here is to first prepare your eyes with eye primer as this ensures your eye shadow goes on evenly. Paint your lid with the lightest shade first then the medium shade and use the darkest shade in your crease. There are online tutorials to show you just how to do this step by step.
Don’t Be Intimidated – Start Slow
If you’re a young teenager looking to try out make-up for the first time or you’re an old hand at it, you needn’t be intimidated by all the palettes and brushes - go slowly with just one color and when you’re confident, there’s nothing you can’t imagine.
Think about this, with every outfit you have some accessories (bag, shoes, etc.) that you wear and that enhance your outfit. Your face works the same way. To make your eyes look even more beautiful, you should wear an eyeshadow that highlights their beautiful colour.
Eyeshadow is one of the most popular beauty products on the makeup market along with lip gloss and blush. It is also a very versatile product that can be worn in a variety of ways.
Depending on your eye colour, one shade may work better than the other; for instance, if you have brown eyes, you may want to go for slightly darker eyeshadows in blue, green or gold, or if you have blue eyes, eye shadows in warm tones such as brown, bronze or orange would be a perfect choice.
If you are not sure which colour may work better for you, then rule of thumb is to go with colours that are universally flattering like silver, brown, bronze, lavender and shimmering beige.
There are also different ways to apply eyeshadow. You may want to sweep it all over the eyelid. For that, you would need to dip the eyeshadow brush in the eyeshadow of your choice. Tap the excess.
Starting from your lash line, apply eye shadow across the eyelid up to the brow bone. For using it to profile your eyes, first, sweep a lighter, beige-colored eyeshadow over the entire eyelid. Then, apply a light brown eye shadow to the natural fold of the eye and you are ready to rock!
