What is the best way to apply eyeshadow using two shades?

Question

I use toasted almond foundation, because it goes well with my complexion. I would like to know how to apply two shades of eyeshadow.

Answer 1

Put the darker shade along the crease of the lid, the lighter color on the main part of the lid, use a blending brush to blend and soften the colors.

Answer 2

For two different colors, they should both have the same tone (not anything like pink and light-blue!) and one should be lighter than the other.
What I usually do is apply the darker shade on the tip of my lid. I then fill the lighter shade above that, just so that it goes to my crease. Blend well with an eye-shadow brush.
I then put eye-liner along my bottom and lower lashes. Finally, I take the darker color of eye-shadow and, using the brush, I dust on the shadow over the eye-liner.
Then I apply two coats of mascara on my top lashes.

Not only does it look great, but you get that sexy smoky-eye look! It looks awesome!

Answer 3

use the medium shade for the entire lid and then use the darker to line the crease and put a little on the outer half of the lid. hope it helps! :-) That is how professionals do it! But they use the lightest color right below the brow. So go for three shades.

Answer 4

Use a lighter, kind of shimmery shade all over your eye and then use the darker shade in the fold of your eye and in the outside corner, blend it nicely so that it doesnt look like the strips on a zebra ( hiehie) Its should come out fine though, you can experiment with colour combinations, depending on the colour of your outfit and or the colour of your eyes.

Answer 5

Put the lighter shade on the lid, and put the darker shade in the crease. If you want to try three shades, just put a shimmer shade on top to highlight your brow.

Answer 6

in case you prefer to open the eyes, use the lighter color on the interior the lid, the darker on the outdoors of the lid. in case you are able to make your eyes seem smaller, do the different. Use an exceptionally easy illuminating color like cream or shimmery translucent on the bit in basic terms below your eyebrows.

Answer 7
