You don't. You apply it to your eyelids.

1. Prime the eyelids by dusting them with a small amount of loose powder.
2. Select a light base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line.
3. Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.
4. Contour the crease of your eyelid with a dark shade, using a smaller eye shadow brush. This color can also work as an eyeliner (see the next section for instructions).
5. Blend shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger'you could wipe off the shadow entirely.
6. Use a cosmetic puff and a little pressed powder to tone down heavy shadow. Shake any excess powder off the puff, then press it gently on your lid.
Eye Shadow to Line the Eyes
Steps:
1. Choose a medium or dark shadow color to line your eyes.
2. Use a small, flat, angled brush for the application.
3. Stroke the brush over the eye shadow.
4. Start at the inside edge of your upper lid. Angle the brush so that the longest tip follows the shorter end as the brush moves across your lash line. Bring the brush to the outer corner of the eye.
5. Create a more dramatic line by wetting the brush before stroking it through the shadow. Mist a small amount of water onto the brush, or dab it into a few drops of water and proceed with the line. The shadow may feel wet as you draw your line, but it will dry quickly.
Overall Warnings:
Don't share eye makeup or tools'you can unknowingly transfer eye infections such as pinkeye (conjunctivitis).
If you get shadow in your eyes, flush them gently with tepid water.

First you have to choose a color that goes with your skin color and the clothes you will wear, and of course one color has many gradations. Start with the light color and apply it just on the beginning of the eyelid then move on to the dark color which you apply it just a little up starting from the outside to the inside. don't apply a lot of eyeshadow just a little, use your fingers to move out extra powder. Try it several times at home when you're free and remember that you have to finish by finding your best own way of putting make up, because every woman is unique. Make up reflects your personality. So don't be afraid of trying many times and many colors until you find what you need! Good luck!

Usually you put a darker color along the lashline and in the crease. Use a light color on your browbone to highlight. Also if you want to make your eyes appear more glam, put the highlight color in the corner of your lid, toward your nose area and put a dot in the center of your lid toward the lashline for a bright eye opening look!!!

you lightly try out the chosen color on your wrist to see if it looks okay. Then, if you like it carefully try to evenly apply the chosen color onto you eyelid. Go to about 1 inch above your eyelashes.

I start with a light shimmery color all over than using a darker color in the same tone (warm or cool) I go over the lid... it looks pretty and not too over done.

a lighter color from your crease to your eyebrows, then a complimenting color from your crease to your lashes.
