Answer 1

Apply any color, but apply this way:

1)Apply
Starting from the inner corner of your eye, sweep your brush (or finger if you're using cream) across the whole lid. The colour should go over the entire lid and just above the crease.

If you want to apply more than one colour you usually do the base colour first.

2)Second Colour
Any other colours could be applied in the socket, outside edge, brow bone, or under the eye.

3)Blend
Blend away any hard edges to perfect your look

Wow i have had the same exact problem...
this is what i have tried and it seems to work for me...

If you highlight the browbone, lid, and inner corners with a pearl'ish white,or champane tone..then underline the rim of your bottom eye with a bright white eyeliner pencil.

Then you take whatever group of shadows you are usings, family wise purples, browns, greys, ect...

Now if you choose 3 varations of the same shade- one lighter, one medium and one darker..

Than cover the entire lid with the lighter of the 3.

Then use an angled brush in the med. shade color close to your upper lash line (usually going over what ever shade of eyeline you choose, an eggplant would be good for the purples, light black or black for the greys, and a chestnut for the browns.)

Then as you trace the line, using another brush or a Q-tip, to blend the medium shade upwards toward your upper crease.

Then finnally usuing the darker color smudge it in the outter edges and blend up into the crease, but make sure that they are blending together. so they dont look to obivious.
The time is about 20 minutes...once you perfect it....

no longer confident what manufacturers you're using yet MAC, NYX, and L'Oreal HIP make large shadows that are fairly pigmented so the shade payoff is fantastic. Your darkish lids are likely also affecting the shadows. you actually want a base so as that the shadows have something to snatch and carry onto. MAC makes those paint pots that are fantastic. an staggering shade is Painterly it truly is a nude...note with a man made brush or such as your palms...that is going to neutralize the shade of your lids so as that the shadow will note easily and the shade will be as real as plausible. The paint pots are available in a lot of diverse colours which will develop your shadows further. for instance in case you want to positioned on a mess of teal, blues, and vegetables then use Delft paint pot and in case you want golds then attempt Rubeneque paint pot. also attempt a way called packing on the shadow. Use a dense shadow brush which incorporates the MAC 239...load the comb with shadow and tap off the added. %. (pat) the shadow onto your lids then mix with an same brush or a fluffier brush. this can deposit more effective shade than in basic terms in basic terms sweeping on shadow. desire this enables...

The whole idea of how to make your eyes look wider and bigger is to outline them with a black or navy eyeliner above the lashes on your upper eyelid, and right below the lashes below your eyes.

Put any color eyeshadow you want (light metallic colors will look nice), then outline your eyes.

The line mustn't be too thick, nor too thin that it doesn't show. If you don't know how to draw a straight smooth line, just practice.

For my eye-shape (you should check what suits yours) I draw a semi-thick line above, and I apply dark shadow below, just something thin, simple, that fades out as you move towards the inside part of the eye...

Play around and check what suits you..

For me, to outline my eye, it's easier to do it with a very smooth pencil eyeliner (not liquid).

To make them look wider, you are not supposed to put dark eyeliner inside the eye. Put a light color (ivory-ish color, or light blue)...looks more attractive.

But I honestly prefer dark colors for the inside eyeliner, something black or navy.

Check out the two links I put below. The first one is very useful...

Practice, and enjoy your beauty!

try gold and browns, if the gold is real shimmery it will make ur eyes stand out but just use it around the tear duct more like a liner. hope u get that. its hard to explain where to put it on ur eye!
