Eyeshadow Application - Tips And Tricks

In order to achieve sexy, smouldering eyes free from mistakes, there are a few steps that should be followed according to the beauty experts when applying eye shadow:

(1) Blending

One of the keys to creating perfectly made up eyes is how the colours of the eyeshadow you're using are blended and mixed together on the eye lids. Ideally the colours of your eyeshadow should be flowing smoothly and consistently from one shade to the other on your eye lids. To create this gentle harmonious look you will need to use three colours for your eyeshadow, these are: the base colour, the main colour and the highlight colour. Here you apply the base colour delicately to your eye lids first and then apply the main colour. Once this has been done use the highlighter to highlight the crease of your eyes making it subtle yet prominent.

(2) Leave Your Brow Bone Alone

One of the most common mistakes women commit when applying eyeshadow is to extend the eye shadow onto their brow bone. Beauty experts recommend quality over quantity when it comes to this problem. Here putting eye make up on your brow bone is takes away attention from the eyes and focuses it too much on your brow bone, Beauty experts recommend that you put colour up until you reach your brow bone but to leave the brow bone itself completely alone.

(3) Careful Highlighting

The purpose for applying a highlighting colour is to set the eyes off and complete the effect you are trying to achieve with your eye make up. An easy tip and trick to using your highlighter is to blend it at the out edge of your eye crease to give your eyes a larger more rounded appearance. A common mistake here is to apply the highlighter too close giving you a beady eyed appearance!

(4) Always Use A Primer

You wouldn’t build a house without a support would you? Then don’t apply eyeshadow without using a quality primer. Putting a primer on not only gives your eyeshadow a smoother appearance but it also gives long lasting effects.

(5) Eye Shimmer Over Use

Another common problem that beauticians and stylists find are that women over use there eye shimmer. Shimmer is amazing at bringing out the eyes, but too much can also bring out the lines and wrinkles around them. The trick here is to use small delicate amounts and appy the shimmer slowly and carefully.

(6) Smokey Hue Over Use

If you're trying to achieve that smokey eyed look using a smoky hue, try to only apply it to the eyelid itself and don’t let it come close to the crease of your eyes as this will damage the effect you're going for.

Above all else, while using eye make up you must be careful to consider how that colour will go with your natural eye colour. Some eyeshadows can highlight beautiful eyes if the colours compliment whereas sometimes it can be disastrous if they clash.

(A) Blue Eyes

If you have blue eyes then ideally you should be looking to use a darker shade of eyeshadow than that of your eyes. In order to achieve a smokey eyed effect with blue eyes you should mix the darker eye make up with a touch of black, to give a dark smouldering look. To brighten any shade of blue eyeshadow dont forget you can use silver, turquoise or even fuchsia.

(B) Green Eyes

If you have green eyes then you should use eyeshadow colours that'll brighten those eyes, shades such as brown, apricot, purple and plum are all shades that'll brighten up those peepers.

(C) Brown Eyes

Shades such as copper, bronze or brown can be used to accent your brown eyes. For that classy doe-eyed look its recommended that you use beige or a khaki green shade of eyeshadow. As a rule of thumb more often than not blue shades of eye make up blend well with brown eyes.
