Tips for Applying Eyeshadow

TIPS FOR APPLYING EYESHADOW

When applying them, consider the eye shapes you have. The common types of eye shapes include the hooded lids, deep-set eyes, big eyes, small eyes, far apart eyes, round eyes, monolids, and almond eyes, upturned and down turned eyes, Asian eyes, close set eyes, oriental, prominent eyes, and so on. The general rule is to apply eyeshadow in a way to accentuate your diminished feature and diminish any overwhelming features.

When applying eyeshadow, ensure you use the correct type of brush. 

Some of the common types of eyeshadow brushes include the flat tipped brush to use on your eyelids, crease brush, tiny pencil brush and a blending brush.

When applying them, do not use vigorous strokes. Instead, use gently strokes and work until you get a uniform nice coat. 

Furthermore, just use the tip of your brush and feather it to where you want it to appear. Avoid swiping color back and forth i.e. apply towards one direction. 

In addition, when blending them, ensure you use swirling soft motions.

After using your eyeshadow brushes, ensure you wash them or when buying them, make inquiries of how it can be cleaned.
If you are using powder formulation and you want more vivid looks, you can wet the brush.

If you want to create depth, you might be required to use three hues or colors.

The general rule for using different colors is similar to the one of using different shades. The darkest color is applied next to the lash line up to the eye creases; the eye crease will have the medium color while the area above the eye crease to the brow bone will have the lightest or mild color.

When using eye shadow, you need carefully to pair them up with other makeup such as lip makeup or even the other eye makeup. They should complement each other. If you want to draw attention to your eyes, the other face makeup should be mild to make your eyes outstanding.
