Answer 2

This is how to wear an eyeshadow or apply it on, have fun experiementing it :)
STEP 1: Prime the eyelids by dusting them with a small amount of loose powder. STEP 2: Select a light base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line. STEP 3: Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids. STEP 4: Contour the crease of your eyelid with a dark shade, using a smaller eye shadow brush. This color can also work as an eyeliner (see the next section for instructions). STEP 5: Blend shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger'you could wipe off the shadow entirely. STEP 6: 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. Eye Shadow to Line the Eyes

Hi hun, there are many different ways of wearing eyeshadow, but this is just the way I wear mine on a night out:
1) Sweep a light colour, eg. white, over your whole eyelids to underneath the eyebrow.
2) Pick a slightly darker colour, eg. silver, and sweep a line next to your top eyelashes.
3) Pick a darker colour, eg. dark silver/grey, and sweep in a crescent shape over the ridge in your eyelid (ie. follow the shape of your eyeball, if you get what i mean)

It's hard to explain but it is fairly easy to do. It might be a good idea to try out different eyeshadows and techniques on a day when you don't have the pressure of going out somewhere!

Another of my faves is to do the first one (light colour over all eyelid) and then put a bright colour underneath the bottom eyelashes. Makes you stand out!

Another idea is to do the first two (light colour then slightly darker colour) then put the darker colour on the outside corner of your eyelid. If you try this one, make sure you do a bit, then stand back and look, otherwise you can end up looking like a panda lol.

Hope this helps,
Jess

ok first try like a pin sized amount of foundation on your eyelid if you use your finger make sure to yous your ring finger it help decrese the chances of getting crows feet. and cover your eyes lightly in an outward motion the second step is to pic out a set of three matching shades and tones of eyeshadows like a shimmer pink(lightest shade) mauve/rosey pink(medium shade) and brownish pink(darkest shade)

now to apply:

take the first shade (always the lightest one) and apply it with a brush to the inside corner of your eye and to the out side corner right below the eyebrow not on your actuall lid or into the crease of your eye! just in the inside corner and upper outside corner below your brow

second take the middle shade and apply it to the middle of your eye lid this is the largest area your to cover and not getting the outside corner of your eyelid!

third take the darkest color and apply it to the outside corner of your eyelid and in the crease LIGHTLY in the crease not getting into the inside corner of your eyes

finally slight ly blend where the shades meet and add your eyeliner and mascarra.... adn your done hope that helps hun

Hi!!!
Use 3 colors of eye shadow. You can use more but it is not going to make any big improvement.

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.

3 Steps for eye shadow application

Step-1. Apply the medium shadow first. Refer to medium described above. Note: When applying any makeup, make sure all edges are feathered so the colors just fade away gradually. You do not want any distinct lines showing where a color starts or stops. Blend, Blend, Blend...This is real important! We also recommend using brushes for all the powdery makeup applications. Those little foam things that come with most make up just don't seem to give the feel and control that a good brush does.

Step-2. Apply the dark shade to the eye lid area. It is best to start in the middle of the eye lid and work out towards the outside, cover the entire lid. Blend the crease area in well. If you have a thin eye shadow brush you might want to try darkening the crease area with a little more dark shadow, just along the crease though......gives a different type of effect.

Step-3. Apply first coat of highlighter to brow bone. There are many other techniques of applying eyeshadow. You may want to research other techniques, as some techniques are better suited for certain facial characteristics.

If you want to give your eye shadow extra staying power, this product is really effective - Smoothing Eye base transparent Highly recommended!

Eye shadow is perhaps the most beloved cosmetic of creative makeup artists. Since eyes is the most important focal point of the face, the eye makeup techniques and choice of colors for eyeshadow should suit the shape and color of your eyes. The most important trick to keep in mind is that the light colors highlight the spots while dark colors tame them down. The first step in applying the eyeshadow is to apply a neutral concealer that matches your skin tone on the eyelid and then sweep the lightest shade over the entire area from the lash line to the brow line to create the smudge resistant base. Apply the medium shade on the lower lid and blend it into your base shade. A third color can also be added along the lash line and outer corner of the eyes as an accent to create the depth in eyes. The other tips that you can use are:
Blondes with blue eyes should opt for browns and taupes while those with green eyes can go for soft mauves and lilacs.
Blue eyeshadow should only be worn only if you either have fair skin, black or platinum hair and brown or gray eyes or very dark skin.
Don't match your shadow with your eyes or your clothes so that attention remains with your eyes and not your makeup!
Emphasizing the inner corner of the eyes to make them look closer to each other. This can be done by applying a neutral base color over the whole eye and then dust a medium color on the inner half of the eyelid and blend it outward. You can then use eyeliner to line the lid from the inner corner of the eye to the middle and blend it outward.
For day makeup, base color and mascara are the only things you need to wear for eyes.
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.
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.
Only use cream eyeshadows that do not cause creasing upon application and should be coordinated with powder shadows that are to be used on top of them. They should be applied using fingertips.
Sweep a light or medium-tone shade on the lid and slightly darker shade above the eye crease to downplay the brow bone. Eyeliner should be thick in the middle of the eye and tapering at both ends. Add light highlighter to brow bone.
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.
To glamorize eyes for night outs, add shimmer to highlight your eyes.
To lift up tired eyes extend the color from the outer corner of the lid upwards to give them a feline shape. A light highlighter on the brow bone without the eyeliner brightens up the eyes. Concentrate mascara on the inner corner of the eye.
To make them look wider apart, keep the inside corners of the eyes lighter than the outer edges. Apply concealer one shade lighter than your skin at the inner corner of the lids and the sides of your nose and blend it well. Use a matte medium to dark eyeshadow and stroke it outward and slightly upward from middle of the lid to its outer half. Use the eyeliner a bit in from the inner corner of the eye and make the line tapering up and out a bit past the outer corner of the eyes.
