Answer 2

To apply eye shadow the correct way you may want to keep these things in mind.

-To make your eye shadow last longer, dust your eye lids with loose face powder first. Leaving a bit of excess powder under your eyes until you've finished your shadow application also makes it easier to brush off those foundation-destroying color flakes that always seem to land there.

-Eye shadow can make close set eyes seem further apart. Try using a lighter color on the inner half and a darker shade from the middle of your lid to the outer corner, and don't forget to blend.

-Matching your eye shadow to your eye color isn't the key to making your eyes "pop"---it will actually make them appear washed out.

-If you have
----Brown eyes -- Plums, Charcoal Grays, Deep Muted Greens
----Blue eyes -- Soft Grays, Purples and Violets
----Green Eyes -- Soft Plums, Grays and Browns

**Neutral colored eye shadows like taupes, beiges, etc will work with any eye color.

Answer 3

The BEST thing I ever learned as regards to makeup was get GOOD BRUSHES. Seriously. Also, good quality makeup. Personally I like bold looks and almost every drugstore brand is not very pigmented--even if you use a ton it'll never look like the bright/dark color it looks like in the compact. So if you're looking for a bold color, go for that HIP brand or ditch the drugstore and use MAC.

Check out the maybelline website. It shows techniques for applying 1,2,3 and 4 different eyeshadows and you can get ideas on colors too. Another good one is almay-so you can steal the color ideas to enhance your eyes!
