Perfecting your shadow routine on your lids is easy with a few quality supplies and a little practice. try these methods of eyeshadow application, and get on your way to being the beauty envy of your friends.
Here I will be teaching you how to create a smokey eye with your eyeshadow and how to apply eye shadow.
⦁ Add your highlighter. Use your highlighter colour with your firm flat brush on the inside corner of your eyes and directly under your eyebrows. Thus, highlight the areas of your face responsible for making your eyes look larger and brighter.
⦁ Apply your medium colour. Use stiff flat brush to apply your middle colour along your entire eyelid. Start from the base of your lash line and your work way to slightly above the crease. Try to avoid brushing up to meet your highlighter though.
⦁ Then create the smokey effect. Use your domed brush first to apply your darkest colour along your upper lash line. Sweep the colour along your entire lid, but only on the bottom, then use your pencil brush to apply a darker more precise line of colour along your lash line.
⦁ Carry it to your lash line. Use your pencil brush to add a bit of your darkest eyeshadow colour along your bottom lash line. Start right at the outside corner and work your way to the inside corner making it gradually lighter as you get closer to your inner tear duct.
Blend your shadow. Use your dome brush after it has been cleaned well to blend your shadows together. You want to create a smooth graduation of colour, so take a few minutes to softly fade your darkest shadow up into the middle hue. Avoid contacting the line of dark shadow near your lash line too much, as that will only look too faded from blending.
Applying Fanned Eyeshadow
⦁ Apply your lightest colour; Normally called a highlighter shade, this is typically a creamy nude eyeshadow.use your stiff flat brush to put this on the inner corners of your eyes, sweeping it up and down together just slightly on the upper and lower lash line. Apply a light sweep on it as well just below your eyebrows.
⦁ Add your middle hue; Take your colour that is one step darker than your highlighte_your medium shade, use your flat brush to pat this colour over the entirety of your lid from your lash line to your crease. Don`t go too much further above your crease or outwards from the corner of your eye.
⦁ Contour with your darkest shade.Use your dome brush with your darkest shade eyeshadow colour to contour eyelid. Start at the outside corner of your eye then sweep the brush in a half, moon motion up and around to the centre of your crease feel free to draw the shadow up towards the end of your eyebrow a bit for an angle fan.
⦁ Then you blend your eyeshdows using a soft sweeping brush. Finito!
