How to apply eye shadow
The first rule when learning how to apply eye shadow is to draw attention to the eyes and not the eye makeup. While dark shades of eye shadow are used to add dimension, lighter shades can perk them up. Applying foundation on the eyelids provides a good canvas to spread the eye shadow. Choose good quality eye shadow brushes, flat and angled. Always work your way up from lighter shades. Go in for colors that blend easily. Eye shadow colors must be chosen keeping in mind your eye color, hair color and skin tone and not the clothes you wear. Do not overdo the eye makeup and the lipstick.

If you are using vivid eye shadow, team it up with nude lipstick. While grays, violets and browns are wonderful with blue eyes, brown eyes are flattered by gold, plum and burnt orange eye shadow. Complement green eyes with gold and yellow or lavender eye shadow. The intensity of the eye shadow color must work well with your skin tone. Darker skins look best with purple or plum or cocoa brown eye shadow. Always try and choose three colors in the same palette. Blend them for a good overall effect.

When applying eye shadow, sweep the lightest shade across the entire area from lash line to brow. This serves as a base to the other eye shadow colors much like a foundation for the rest of the face. A medium color can be applied on the lower part of the lid. The darkest shade can be skillfully used to create depth. Apply it to the lash line and outer corners of the eye. Work this color with a smaller eye shadow brush. This shade of eye shadow can also double up as eyeliner. A light highlighter shade applied to the brow bone will give the eyes and wide and open look.
