Tips on how to apply eyeshadow in three easy steps
Select a light color base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line.
To apply eyeshadow: Use a long handled brush and use your hand or a cuff to hold it. Watch out for dark colors because they can can end up looking too theatrical.
Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.
Then blend eye shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger'you could wipe off the shadow entirely.
High quality powder eyeshadows can be used wet for heavier application by dampening your applicator a little.
Lighter shadows help the bigger while darker shades make them look smaller. For bigger eyes, sweep a light shade over lid and darker shade on the outer corner of the lid and the crease. Outline the eyes using the eyeliner on the outer side of upper and lower lids while tapering a bit on the outside the eye to elongate it. Dab a white or cream shadow in the middle of the brow bone as a last step.
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.
To add definition to your eyelids, apply a medium-toned shade across the lid and brow bone and dust the under brow area with a light highlighter shade. Use a very fine pencil liner of natural color to line the upper and lower lash lines.

Eyeshadow's accentuate eyes, making them look bigger and brighter. Use an eye shadow that compliments the color of your eyes.
To create the new round eye, apply a soft, neutral brown across the eyelid and slightly above the crease, creating a round shape.
Blend, going upwards towards the brow..
Apply the same color shadow underneath the bottom lashes..
To create a dark eye without the hassle of black eye shadow, take a black pencil inside the lower eye to create the new smoky eye look.
Apply eyeshadow right over the eyelid. Draw a thin line of eyeliner on your upper lid, close to the lashes. Use a soft tipped eye pencil over the line for a smudgy effect.
Neutral shades like browns and beiges look natural while brighter shades like blue and green look dramatic and artificial.
On mature skin and puffy eyelids, avoid using iridescent, frosted, light colors and white eyeshadows and opt for soft matte colors instead.
** TIPS OF THE TRADE: Use a pink eyeshadow on the whole eye area and a brown eyeshadow on the lid. Brush a darker pink along the socket line and blend.
Types of eye shadows:
Dark: This is applied only to the eyelids from the lashline to the crease in the eyelid.
Medium: This is applied from just below the eyelid crease to the browbone. You can, and some techniques do, shade the entire lid with this medium shade first.
Highlight: This is the lightest of the three and is applied to the browbone and extends a little past the outer end of the eyebrow. This usually gives a pearly finish.
Application Tips on How to apply eyeshadow:
Don’t test shades on the back of your hand as the color is different from your eyelids.

Answer 3

Depends on the color, and what look you are going for:
For just a natural highlight you can use a lighter neutral shade all over your eyelid to accent your eyes and look natural.
For more of a "dressed up look" use a light highlight color under your brow bone, and medium tone color on your lid and, an accent color ( one slightly darker then your lid color) in the crease of your eyes (the fold between the lid and brow bone). To accent your eyes more you can use the darker color in the outside corners of your eyes for a more dramatic look. And always, always BLEND - use a eyeshadow brush and starting from the outside working in brush over your shadow to blend it in with the other colors to create a smooth polished look.

Answer 4

There are a few ways to apply eyeshadow.But there are some more things I need to know.
-What color are your eyes?
-What's your skin tone?
-What shape are your eyes? round? oval?
-Do you have less or more actually eye lid?
referring to area from your eyelashes
to your eyebrow.

I would start with a neutral color that is close to your own skin tone. Apply that over the entire lid from eyelash line to under your brow.Then apply a darker shade into the crease of the eye, with the same shade go under your eye along the lash line, get a shade that is in the middle of the neutral and dark shade you used and cover the lid from eyelash line to the darker shade crease.Be sure that you blend.and just practice and experiment with it.

Answer 5

the whole eye,do white under your eyebrows and in the corners (tear ducks) put a couple shades on eyelid darker in the crease and blend...

Go with the color that best matches your eyes and don't go overboard just apply lightly and try to make it as natural as possible.
