Correct Way To Apply Eye Shadow

By Dina Mills

Make up can play such an important role in your daily routine. It ranks up there with “What am I going to wear today”, and “Which shoes will go with this dress?”. You really want to show the world your best look possible. Lipstick and blusher are fairly easy to apply, but from the looks of some women, eye shadow can be a real challenge. Some people get the colors all wrong, others don’t blend enough, and lastly, eyeshadow can come out looking disastrous if you really don’t know what you are doing. If you would like to know the correct way to apply eye shadow, the following are a few good tips for have your eyes looking beautiful in no time.

Applying makeup and eyeshadow can be a very easy task when you are using the right methods to bring out your own natural beauty and personal style. It may a take a little practice, but playing in your cosmetics case is really half the fun.

Try a good eye shadow primer to hold your shadow in place. If you don’t have the primer, try a little dab of foundation, or concealer. Gently take your finger and dab the formula over your eyelid, and blend in the color. Apply your color to your lid first, blend, and then work with related colors out and up to your brow line, blending as you go.

For that smokey eye look, use a good makeup brush dipped in shadow, and apply in layers. You will see a difference in the intense color. Use colors that compliment your eye color, skin tone, and hair. I like to buy the large palettes with several colors. They are wonderful for experimenting with dramatic colors.

One really great trick to make you eyes look more open and bright is to dab a light shade of shadow on the inner corner of your eyelid, and down at the lash line. You will be surprised at the glamorous effect. It’s a neat trick for day or night time make up.
