how to apply eye shadow

Before you even begin applying eyeshadow, pick the colors that flatter you.

Ask yourself. What eye shadow is best for me? Look in the mirror and study your eyes. Are their flecks of color different from your main eye color? An eyeshadow in the color of those flecks would really bring out the beauty in your eyes. Alternatively, you could look at your main eye color as a guide.

Eye shadow for blue eyes
If your eyes are blue, then wearing blue eyeshadow in a shade that matches your eye color exactly would bring out the color in your eyes. That's not the only color you can wear.

Besides a blue that matches your eyes exactly try these.

• Brown, violet,mauver would accentuate the color in medium blue eyes.
• Metallic eyeshadow like silver and gold will bring out the color in blue grey eyes.
• Grey and navy would make blue green eyes look stunning
eye shadow for brown eyes

Brown eyes can take most warm colors. Browns, earth tones and moss green eyeshadow make brown eyes look even more stunning.
• Hazel eyes look wonderful with green eyeshadow, with a touch of charcoal black eyeshadow in the crease and pale pink highlights.
• Brown eyes look wonderful with brown eyeshadow, with green shades and peach or light pink highlights.
• Dark brown eyes look great with mauve eyeshadow, with a touch of navy and some light yellow highlights.


These aren't rules that are set in stone. Experiment with new makeup colors and you'd find more eyeshadow colors that would flatter you.

Step-by-step instructions on how to apply eye shadow

These basic eye shadow techniques should work for most people. Practice on your own first before the date, or event. Applying eyeshadow is a learned skill and takes a while to perfect.
1. Apply eye shadow primer from lashes to brows. It would help your eyeshadow last longer.
2. Shut your eye. Using your eyeshadow brush, apply the main eyeshadow color you have chosen (a medium shade) on your eyelid from lashes to the crease of your eye.
3. Open your eye. Do you see the crease? Deepen your eyes by painting the dark eyeshadow into that crease.
4. Clean the eyeshadow brush on a tissue paper to remove the other colors. Then apply the lightest shade on the outer half of your brow bone just below your eyebrow to open your eyes.
That's it. All you need next for your eye makeup are the eye liner and mascara.

How to apply eye shadow - smokey

When you think of sexy eyeshadow, or at least, sexy eyes, what comes to mine?

Eyes that smoulder. Smokey eyes do just that. Instead of black eyeshadow, this season, use a dark color like violet, or deep green or even navy, whichever suits you best to create that sultry eye effect. The steps for such dramatic eyeshadow are still the same. Only that you apply eye liner on the upper and lower lash lines, smudge it a little. Then you go over the liner with that dark eye shadow using a liner brush. Finally, lash on several coats of mascara, separating the lashes after each coat to prevent clumps.
