Perfect/Best way to apply eyeshadow?

Answer 1

The first step of applying eyeshadow is to apply a light color over your entire eye lid from lash line to brow. Use a large flat eyeshadow brush. Always use good quality brushes.

The second step is to apply a medium shadow color on your lower lid from lash line to the crease of your eye. Use a fluff brush.

The third step is to use your darkest color as a liner and apply along your lash line. To insure shadow will not flake, dampen your eyeliner brush before applying shadow. This will make it last longer.

Once your foundation is on, gradually apply lighter shades first, slowly working up to your final color. An important fact to remember is, use colors that blend together naturally. It's not where you place the colors: it's that they work together and blend together invisibly.


TIP: You do not want this to look like three separate colors.

Answer 2

Dab some concealer on your lids to make the eyeshadow last longer. Then apply a base color (usually a light color) over your lids and up to your brow bone. Then, apply an accent or darker color over the outer half of your lids. Use an eye brush to blend where the two colors meet. After the colors are blended, use the brush and sweep up and away from your lids to create a shadow effect. This technique will help add depth to your eyes.

Answer 3

First, prime the eyelids by dusting them with a small amount of loose powder. Next, select a light base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line. Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.
Contour the crease of your eyelid with a dark shade, using a smaller eye shadow brush. This color can also work as an eyeliner. Blend shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger'you could wipe off the shadow entirely. 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

Choose a medium or dark shadow color to line your eyes. Use a small, flat, angled brush for the application. Stroke the brush over the eye shadow. 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. 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.

PS: 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.

Answer 4

the best way is to start with the base which is the lightest then you would put on the color of your choice on you eyelids and then in the crease of your eye you would make it darker or use another color. I wear browns and put a nude skin color or white lightly on my lid and up to my brow then I put a darker skin tone or brown in the crease and a little above it and i do use a shadow brush to do all this. then i use a dark brown and put that in the crease. it looks and you can use any color. some days you may just want the base coat on. or just a little on the lids. also when I go out i put shadow under my eyes and blend it up to the corners to meet the eyeshadow on my lids. the smokey look. there are so many ways. you will find some in magazines. i hope i helped.

Answer 5

Buy the 3 pack eyeshadows. The lightest colour goes on first. The medium colour goes just over your eye lid. The darkest colour goes in the crease. A lip brush works well to put on thin.

Answer 7

use an eye brush (don't know what it's really called) it's a small bristle brush, i love mine, i don't use the ones that come with eyeshadow anymore, the brush leaves a less "dramatic" look and you can control the strokes better

Answer 8

Apply sheer color with fingertips. Darker color--get a natural hair flat shadow brush.

Answer 9

try using your lids as a pallet.
Put darker colors in the top crease of your eye lid
.. this brings out your eyes, and helps people notice them
then put lighter colors below the crease.

Answer 10

apply a base first to make it last longer, then it depends what you wanna do, usually apply the ligher coat first and then darker but the dark coat not on the whole eyelid
