How do you do the v shape eyeshadow at outside corners of the eye?

Question

i've seen girls w/ really nice eyeshadow, and they have that < > on the outsides of the eyes, gives it a lot of depth! how do u do that, and what kind of brush do u use?

Answer 1

Ok well I like to experiment with different colors since I do this almost every day but these are the basic colors & technique I use...

♥First I put on eyeliner on my top eyelid. I start from the inner corner with a thin line close to the lashes and gradually make the line thicker until I reach the outer corner, where I slightly wing it out and up. Don't put any eyeliner on you bottom lid, for it will draw more attention to the bottom instead of the outer corners!

♥ Use a shimmery, bone-colored shadow to lightly dust the ENTIRE area under your brows, focusing especially on the inner corners of your eyes.

♥ Next, use a sandy, taupe brown shade to use in the center of you eyelids (horizontally). Blend so that it doesn't leave a line.

♥ Then sweep a dark grey or chocolate brown shade in the oter corners, also being careful not to leave an obviously line where the shadow cahnges from one shade to another. Follow this to where your eyeliner wings out.

♥ Sweep on two coats of maskara on your top & lower lashes and you're finished!

Hope I helped!

Just draw it!! It depends on your natural lids' shape, and pretty much on the kind of shadow brush you are using.. it has to be firm to achieve the shape you want.. Close you lid and relax it, maybe lifting it with your free hand. REMEMBER: Never try to force a shape of shadow on your own lids because you saw it on another person. It depends a lot on your very own shape to see what is more flattering. Practice is key!!

You can actualy to it with the applicators they come with. Just apply it on the lid and swoop it around. Bring it out and down when you do it. It's kind of hard to explain, but mess around with it and you'll get it.

Hope that helps!
