Eyeshadow application can be daunting. First, you must choose the right eyeshadow palette for your eye color, then you have to figure out how to use all the various shades on your lid. Here s'a few tips..
The key to selecting an eye shadow palette is to consider your eye color. You want your eyes to pop and the best way to do this is to use a contrasting color palette on your lids. Blue eyes look great with golds and browns. Green eyes are wonderful with pinks and browns. Brown or dark brown eyes look wonderful with blues, greens or even deep, jewel colors. Taupe and lavender look great on all eye colors............Be Careful With Shimmer Eyeshadows
Shimmer makes eyes really pop, but it also highlights heavy lids, lines and wrinkles. If you don't have wrinkled eyelids yet (I kind of do and I don't care!), try this great look for shimmer: create a "nude" lid, but apply a bit of gold shimmer to the browbone. Gorgeous!..........Blending is Key
I love to watch makeup application videos and the women are always geniuses at applying eyeshadow. You learn pretty quickly that the key to complicated eyeshadow is in the blending. You want your shadows to seamlessly blend, sort of like a rainbow.blend,blend and blend.
How to Use Eye Shadow as Eyeliner...
I don't use pencil or liquid liners, instead, I use the darkest color in my makeup palette as an eyeliner. I use a small rounded brush, dip it into the dark brown color and then sweep it just under my bottom lashes. I then go over it with a finger to smudge it a bit. You can also use an angled brush to get a more precise line. Dip the brush in water first to create a liquid liner from your shadow.
Want Your Shadow to Last? Set it With a Primer First...
Primers are super hot right now because they help set makeup that stays for hours. I've found the secret to keeping shadow in place for hours is a shadow base, or primer. Almost everyone makes them but I swear by Urban Decay's Primer Potion or belle piere crème nude primer.
