How do you apply eyeshadow?

Applying eyeshadow step-by-step

1. Prep your eyes:

• Start with clean, moisturized eyelids to ensure smooth eyeshadow application.

• If your skin tends to be oily, you may want to use an eye primer to help the eyeshadow adhere better.

2. Choose your eyeshadow shades:

• Select a palette with shades that complement your skin tone and eye color.

• You may want to choose neutral shades for a daytime look or bolder colors for a more dramatic evening look.

• Use a blending brush to apply a base shade – a light neutral color – all over your eyelid from lash line to brow bone.

3. Apply your base:

• Use a flat or dense brush to apply the eyeshadow. Start at the lash line and blend upward, working your way towards the brow bone.

• Be careful not to apply too much eyeshadow, as it can look heavy.

• Use a clean blending brush to soften any harsh lines and blend the colors seamlessly.

4. Add depth and dimension:

• Use a darker eyeshadow shade to add definition to your crease.

• Use a small crease brush to apply the color to the crease of your eyelid, blending it in with the lighter shades.

• You can also use a darker shade to line the upper and lower lash lines for a more dramatic effect.

5. Highlight:

• Use a shimmery eyeshadow shade to highlight the inner corner of your eyes and the brow bone.

• This will help to brighten your eyes and make them look more awake.

6. Blend:

• Use a clean blending brush to blend the different shades of eyeshadow together, creating a seamless transition of colors.

7. Finish with mascara and eyeliner:

• Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes for a more defined look.

• You can also add a thin line of eyeliner to the upper and lower lash lines, if desired.

Remember:

• Practice makes perfect! Experiment with different eyeshadow techniques until you find the one that works best for you.

• Don’t be afraid to play with colors and textures to create unique eyeshadow looks.
