Learning
how
to apply eye shadow
is extremely important. There are many people who go throughout their
entire lives without having any idea of the proper application! If you
want to look the best you possibly can then you’ll need to
learn
the tricks of the trade.
Eye shadow is wonderful because it can make
or
break the look of an outfit. If you’ve got a wonderful outfit
on
that really make a statement, and then your eye shadow is dullsville no
one is going to take notice! Take the time to really learn how to apply
eye shadow and it will become an absolute breeze for you to do.
There are many different ways you can
actually
apply the eye shadow. Some people like to use an applicator brush. Make
sure you don’t use the one that comes with your eye shadow
because those are usually not high quality. You can use them as a last
resort but it is a much better idea to purchase a professional eye
wand.
One you have your tool ready you can select
your
eye shadow. If you really want to make your eyes pop then
you’ll
need to have more than one color. Usually a dark shade, medium shade
and light shade. These colors should compliment one another as they
will go on different parts of the eyelid and blend together.
Start with the lighter color. Swipe the
applicator
through the light color, then apply it right above the eyelid or
directly under the brow bone. This will highlight that area and make
your eyes look wide open.
Next, dab the very tip of your applicator
into the
darker shade. Apply it on the upper eyelid as close to the lashes as
possible. This will act as a kind of eyeliner. If you want a super
dramatic effect then you can even dampen the applicator with water!
Then, you swipe the applicator into the
medium
color. You can apply this on the bulk of the eyelid, following the
outline of the eyeball. Blend it together with the darker color below
and the lighter color above for the best results.
Who knew that learning how to apply eye
shadow was
so easy! Still, take your time before you head out the door. If you
leave the eye shadow looking messy and unblended then you
won’t
have the look you were imagining. Think about the colors that look best
with your hair color and skin tone and you’ll be a lot more
successful.
Learning how to apply eye shadow is a
wonderful
thing. There are many people who don’t take the time to do it
the
right way. You will outshine them all with your beautiful new look!
