How To Apply Eyeshadow!

Here are some steps on how to apply Eyeshadow!

Step 1: Apply your favorite eyeshadow primer ( this is optional depending on how long you want the shadows to last, primers help the shadows from creasing and help them stay on longer and help the colors become more vibrant).


Step 2: If you don't want to use primer you can use any cream eyeshadow of your choice and apply that on the lid to make your eye shadows stick!

Step 3: Apply medium shade of the color of your choice to just the eye lid.

Step 4: Apply a light shade of the same color you have on your lid on the inner corner of your lid  then a darker shade of that color on the outer corner to give some depth.


Step 5: With a clean blending brush blend just where the colors end closest to your crease using windshield wiper motion so there are no harsh lines. You can also use a light brown color instead to give the illusion of a deeper socket. That will also give some depth.

Step 6: Use a vanilla colored shimmery or matte eyeshadow just on the brow bone to highlight.

Lastly not everyone needs to use eyeshadow primers, if you have oily lids then I would invest in one for sure because that will prevent creasing and the muddy effect.

What Color Eyeshadows To Use?




To make this easier on yourself and I go to your local arts and crafts store and buy a "Color wheel" lol there 5 bucks if not keep reading!



Anyways on a color wheel it tells you what colours go good with other colors.
What colors compliment each other omg if you love playing with colors and you have no idea how to make them look good buy a color wheel!! It will change how you use colors!!
Sorry im really excited! :D

OK for Blue eyes: Use Warm Colors ie: Red,Orange,Yellow, colors with those colors in them, think of fire when your trying to remember!

Green eyes: Can use all the warm colors plus purple.

Hazel eyes (well arent you lucky) Goes with almost everything because hazel eyes are like a mish mash of colours so you cant go wrong but I would recommend Browns and pinks!

Brown eyes: Use Cool colors ie: Blue,Green, and Purple. 

Now I know as your reading this your thinking WHAT!? im not putting bright red,green or blue on my eyes im going to look like a clown! hahah. Im talking Shades,tints,tones of those colors 

Example when you add White to Blue it turns into a light blue or when you add Grey (white and black) to blue you get a light smokey blue or when you add black to blue you get navy or dark blue. 
Light blue=Tint of blue
Smokey blue=tone

Dark blue=Shade

For example.





                            Dark blue on outside, medium in the middle and light on the inner corner.
