How To Apply Eye Shadow
Eyes are one of the most important parts of your face, and if your eyes are perfect then everything else will fall into place. By following some simple guides, you can easily learn to apply eye shadow.
1.Select your colors
Before experimenting with bright, metallic or dark colors, you should get comfortable with neutrals. Once you are comfortable using neutral colors, you can then begin experimenting with more vibrant colors.
2.Applying the eye shadow

You should have three shades in the same color family. Apply the lightest color on the brow bone, the darkest color in the crease and the medium shade on the eyelid.

1.Use an eye shadow brush or sponge applicator and gently apply the lightest color from the crease up toward your eyebrow.

2.Apply the base color over your eyelid. Cover the entire lid all the way to the crease.

3.Apply the crease color using the flat side of a small, angled makeup brush. If you want the color to be a little more dramatic, you can wet your brush before applying the shadow.

4.Finally, gently blend the colors into each other using an eye smudge brush or your fingertip. First blend the outside corner of the eye, then the top and bottom of the lash line.

5.Finish up with eye liner and lash mascara.

6.Don’t forget to dip a cotton swab into eye makeup remover to clean up mistakes.

 
Tips
Achieving Smokey Eyes

In order to achieve the “smokey eyes” look, elect dark, neutral colors. Black eyeliner with gray eye shadow will work well for the smokey eyes effect.

First, create a smooth canvas for eye makeup by applying a primer to the entire eye area. You can use some concealer under your eyes with a thick coat of powder in order to catch any excess eye shadow, which can later be brushed away.

Line your upper eyelid with black eyeliner, making the line a little bit thicker than usual to create a stronger contrast. Choose a lighter-colored eyeliner and line the bottom of your eye. Smudge the liner with your finger to create a smoky appearance.

Next, apply eye shadow all over your eyelid, using the lighter color as a base. Blend the color all over your upper lid before applying the dark eye shadow, starting at the lash line and blending upward. A smoky effect makes eye color pop and creates a dramatic evening look.

Making Your Eye Shadow Last All Day

There are several things you can do to help your eyeshadow stay put and keep it from fading or creasing throughout the day.

1.Don't skip the primer. Using a primer will help your eye shadow stay in place and not crease or appear cakey. Apply a light coat of primer from your lash line to your brow bone.

2.Apply shadow with a brush. A brush will give you control when applying pigments. Use a small, fine brush made especially for eye shadow.

3.Use both cream and powder. Apply the cream in a thin layer (to avoid creases later in the day) over the entire lid. Follow by applying your powder shadow as usual.
