Applying eye shadow can be a little tricky. But it needn’t be if you know the tricks involved.
– Before you start, powdered eyelid with a moistened brush and a little face powder. This will help to prevent your shadow from melting.
– Choose three shades in the same color family – light, medium and a darker shade for contras.
– Apply the lightest shade on the entire lid from brow to lash line.
– The medium shade is going to bring out the color of your eyes. Apply from lash line to just above the crease.
– The darkest color is going to be applied close to the lashes. Dampen the brush and then pick up a little color. Distort it in around the lash base. If you have bags underneath your eyes, you might want to only line the top lashes.
Highlight Your Eyes
– Use a touch of gold shadow on the brow bone to make your eyes look even brighter. You can use powder or one of those fat pencils. I have even used that liquid highlighter in a bottle and it gives good results too.
– You might notice a tendency for your lids to appear somewhat creepy. This makes shadow application more difficult. To counteract this, stay away from bright colors. Subtlety is what you are looking for at this point, as softer colors are far more flattering and less aging.
– Pearly shades are great for highlighting the brow bone and opening up the eye area.
