Eye Shadow - Top 12 Tips On How To Apply It Perfectly
Your eye shadow application is crucial to your overall look, just like your choice of clothing. You may have seen women who struggle with applying eye shadow, but you've also seen those who nail it and look stunning. Do you want to be part of the latter group? Of course, and we're here to equip you with top tips to achieve that flawless eye shadow application. Let's dive in!
Putting on your eye shadow correctly is not as challenging as it may seem. It's all about discovering the right techniques that complement your personal style. Don't be discouraged if it takes a bit of practice to perfect.
Dive into these helpful tips:
- Always apply a base coat on your eyes just as you do to the rest of your face. Loose powder works or you can apply your foundation to your eye area. It creates a nice even palette to work with.
- Blend, blend, and then blend some more. I can't stress this enough. Try an experiment. Blend one eye and then just use a brush and apply to the other eye. You'll instantly know what I'm talking about and you'll never forget to blend again.
- If you want dramatic eyes, take your eye shadow brush, dip it into water, and then into the shadow, then apply. It will give you a much deeper, dramatic color.
- If you have blue eyes, wear purple, violet, taupe, gray, deep blue, and black. Fun colors include fuchsia, turquoise, and silver.
- If you have green eyes, wear purple, plum, forest green, brown, and khaki. Fun colors include light green, gold, and bright purple.
- If you have brown eyes, wear champagne, copper, brown, apricot, khaki, and beige. Fun colors include royal blue, tangerine, hand hot pink.
- Everyone can wear navy, powder blue, and charcoal. Fun colors include silver.
- Apply a lighter shadow in the inner corner of the eye to reflect and make your eyes look younger.
- If you want your eyes to appear larger, use a light color on the inner corner, and a darker shade in the middle of the eye area.
- Practice until you get the application of your eye shadow down to a science. When you get good, your make up will look more natural and more polished.
- Apply dark shadow only to the eyelids from the lash line to the crease in the eyelid. Apply your medium shadow from just below the eyelid crease to the brow bone.
- Highlight along the brow bone. Doing it this way will make your features stand out naturally and beautifully.
With these expert tips, you now have the know-how to apply your eye shadow flawlessly.
