Tips To Apply Eye Shadow Like a Pro

Your makeup is as important to your finished look as the clothing you wear, in fact, it can actually be more important. We’ve all spotted women who didn’t have a clue how to apply it, and applying their eye shadow can be a challenge. But we’ve also seen women who know how to apply it properly and they look put together and beautiful. Don’t you want to be one of those women? Of course – and here I’m going to give you some top tips so you can do just that. 

Great news – putting your eyeshadow on correctly really isn’t difcult at all. It really is just a matter of finding the right technique and your personal style. Don’t worry if it takes a few tries to get it right. Before getting into my tips I want to recommend Bobbi Brown Teaches Makeup and Beauty Masterclass. Here you will learn all of the techniques to become an expert.

Here are some of my recommendations:

1. Always apply a base coat on your eyes just as you do to the rest of your face. Loose power works or you can apply your foundation to the eye area. It gives a nice even palette to work with.   
2. Blend, blend and then blend some more. I can’t stress this enough. Try an experiment. Blend one eye and then just use a brush and apply the other eye. You’ll instantly know what I’m talking about and you’ll never forget to blend again. 
3. If you want dramatic eyes, take your eye shadow brush, dip it in water, and then into the shadow, then apply. It will give you a much deeper, dramatic color. 
4. If you have blue eyes, wear purple, violet, taupe, gray, deep blue, and black. Funky colors include fuchsia, turquoise, and silver. 
5. If you have green eyes, wear purple, plum, forest green, brown, and khaki. Funky colors include light green, gold, and bright purple. 
6. If you have brown eyes, wear champagne, copper, brown, apricot, khaki, and beige. Funky colors include royal blue, tangerine, hand hot pink. 
7. Everyone can wear navy, powder blue, and charcoal. Fun colors include silver. 
8. Apply a lighter shadow in the inner corner of the eye to reect and make
   your eyes look younger.
9. If you want your eyes to appear larger, use a light color on the inner corner,
   and a darker shade in the middle of the eye area. 
10. Practice until you get the application of your eye shadow down to a science.
    When you get good, your makeup will look more natural and more polished. 
11. Apply your dark shadow only to the eyelids from the lash line to the crease in
    the eyelid. Apply your medium shadow from just below the eyelid crease to
    the brow bone. 
12. Highlight along the brow bone. Doing it this way will make your features
    stand out naturally and beautifully.

So there you have it. With these top tips you now know how to apply your eyeshadow so you will look your best. If you are interested in learning the best makeup techniques from an expert you have to check this course.

Remember that while you’re practicing all these steps, you should take notice of what works best for you. Practice by yourself, or practice with a friend if you nd it easier to ask someone else’s opinion. 

So go for it and get gorgeous right away!
