Eye Shadow Application Tips

Eye shadow is the most important part of your eye makeup, because it can help to re-contour the eyes and add emphasis to them. How you apply your eye shadow will make a huge difference in your appearance. The following eye shadow application tips can help any set of eyes to look gorgeous.

First Things First

The first thing to know when learning about eye shadow application is that you should use brushes to apply the makeup, as opposed to eye shadow applicators. Brushes are a good idea because they help you achieve a specific look when applying the eye shadow – it’s best to steer clear of foam applicators. So when you buy your eye shadows, if the applicator that comes with it is foam, the best thing to do is just toss it and use a brush.

How to Properly Color in Your Eye Brows

Eye brow shape can make or break your look. If possible, have your eye brows shaped by a professional who can determine what is best for your facial structure.

The next best thing is an eye brow stencil kit. These kits include brow stencils and an angled eye brow brush.

After shaping your brows, determine which powder or pencil color to use. For a more natural look, choose eye brow powder. If you prefer an eye brow pencil, apply in light, short strokes to mimic the look of your natural brow hairs. Choose a color that is one shade darker than your current hair color for best results.

The final step in creating beautiful brows is to apply a brow gel to keep the hair tamed and the color in place through the day.

Not removing your makeup before bedtime is a cosmetic cardinal sin.
Waking up with mascara, concealer and eyeliner crusted onto your face is not anyone’s idea of a good look, nor is it particularly healthy for your skin. While your body is in REM, your dermis is supposed to rest and breathe.
