Applying
eye shadow is a
lot of fun and can change your whole look. There are very few things
that can make as large of an impact as eye shadow. Find the best tools
you can to get the job right and you’ll love the results.
The first thing you’ll need to
consider when you’re
applying eye shadow is what type of skin tone you have. If your tone
has a lot of blues and red then you’ll need to select cool
toned shadows.
If your tone is more yellow then
you’ll need
to select warm toned shadow. If you’re in between then you
can pick neutral shades. It is so easy to choose the right colors based
on this system.
Many makeup companies have taken note of
their
customer’s desire to have beautiful eye shadow that matches
their skin tone. Many have labeled their eye shadow so you know which
colors are great selections for you.
When you have your colors selected
you’ll need to make sure
you have the right tools to do the job. Buying a professional makeup
kit or a professional eye shadow applicator is a great idea. You can
use anything from your finger to a q-tip though, so figure out what
works best for you.
Then, you swipe the applicator through the
light eye shadow. Apply this
right above your eyelid. If it is very light you can even apply it
right under the brow bone. This will help to make your eyes nice and
alert.
Next, you rub the tip of the applicator in
the dark eye shadow. Apply
this very close to your eyelashes your upper eyelid. The effect here
can be as dramatic as you like depending on how dark the eye shadow is.
Then, you swipe the applicator into the
medium colored eye shadow.
Apply this below the crease at the top of your eyelid. Be sure to blend
all three of the colors together. This should create a seamlessly
beautiful look.
Applying eye shadow can take some practice
if you’re not used
to it. Everyone has their own methods so it might be a good idea for
you to practice and see what looks good on you.
Also remember that the
color of eye shadow you use might depend on the time of day and the
occasion. This is something you can really have fun with. If
you’re learning all about applying eye shadow
you’ll be amazed at how different you look.
You should always
choose colors that compliment your skin tone and apply them based on
their color. No two people are alike so be sure you choose the right
colors and application style for you.
