How to Apply Eye Shadow
Your eyes are the feature that you are likely to want to emphasize, and
eye makeup is probably the one area that you will want to experiment with
different colours, shading, and types. Eye makeup should be applied skilfully
and professionally if you are to get the look you want.
Using Eye Shadow
The first step is to pick the colours that best suits you. While dark
shades of eye shadow are used to add dimension, lighter shades can perk
them up. If you have small eyes and want to give the impression of larger
eyes, you want to stay with lighter shades. If you have large eyes or
protruding eyes, you would want to use darker shades. Applying foundation
on the eyelids provides a good canvas to spread the eye shadow.
Applying Eye Shadow
1. The first rule when applying eye shadow is to blend it well
so there are no harsh edges.
2. Using a fine, blunt-ended brush, gently apply the base colour
to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from
the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.
3. Use a lighter shade under the browbone to highlight the eyes.
4. The darkest shade can be skillfully used to create depth. Use
darker shades on the lid and the crease of the eye.
5. Blend the shadows well, using your fingertips or a cotton swab.
TIP: The easiest type of shadow to use and the type that has the
widest variety of colours, is pressed powder.
