Eye shadow is one of the most popular beauty products worldwide. Many individuals wear eye shadow to enhance natural features, such as the eyes themselves, or specific features like the eyebrows and eyelids. Eye shadow also provides a cosmetic enhancement for many who wear it in order to change their appearance from normal to glamorous. Here are some tips on how you can apply eye shadow effectively:
1) Apply your base color first
Selecting and applying your own base color is the best way to start off with correctly applying eye shadow. In order to determine which colors go best with your skin tone and personal preference, try using a skin tone wheel available online that will show you which colors will make you look healthy or tired.
2) Apply eye shadow before you apply eyeliner
If you can follow a few simple steps, it is easy to apply eye shadow correctly to your eyelid. Remember that when applying eye shadow, it is always important to apply a light base color first. This creates a pale wash that enhances the brightness of the highlighted colors later on in the process.
3) Use an appropriate brush or cosmetic tool
Before applying your primer or base color, try applying a little powder onto your brush or cosmetic tool and then tapping off any excess so that you have as little powder on your brush as possible. You want as little overlap with your primer or base color as possible. Also, apply your primer over the eye shadow instead of on top of it, as too much will cause any line work on the brush to bleed into the shadow giving you an uneven look.
Eye shadow is a great way to enhance your natural features and is a great cosmetic option for everyone. By following the tips in this article, you will be able to apply different colors of eye shadow to your eyelid with confidence.
