Eye Shadow Application Techniques

It is not a secret, that eye shadow is considered to be one of the most beloved cosmetics of creative makeup artists. And because eyes are the most important focal point of the face, it is necessary that the eye makeup techniques and the eye shadows color choice should suit the color of the eyes, as well as the shape of them. And here comes the most important trick, which is to be kept in mind of every woman – light colors tend to highlight the spots, while dark colors tame them down.

The first step of the eye shadow application is to apply some concealer, which is neutral in its color and which matches the skin tone on the eyelid and then seek the lightest shade over the area, beginning from the lash line and up to the brow line in such a way that the smudge resistant base would be created. Then the medium shade is to be applied on the loser lid and blended into the base shade. And it is also possible to add a third color along the lash line and the outer corner of the eyes so, that it would make an accent to create the eyes’ depth.

After that it is possible to line the lid from the inner corner of the eye to the middle with the help of eyeliner and blend it outward.
