How To Put On Eyeshadow

The eyes have often been described as oceans, reflection of the soul, jewels of the body and the mirror of the inner self by many, since ages. The eyes are used symbolically in poems and prose to describe the beauty of a person, and in philosophies to describe deceptiveness and truthfulness.

It is therefore no wonder that poets and writers have for ages eulogised them in their works. Having raved and ranted about the eyes so far, don’t you think they deserve more attention?

Choose The Best Eyeshadow

Make sure that you don’t make the mistake of choosing a strong color. Stay neutral in your choice of color and opt for colors like chocolate and beige etc. The eyeshadow you choose should emphasize and complement the color of your eyes and should be too loud.

Choose The Right Colour

Clean Your Applicators And Brushes
Make sure that the brushes and other instruments that you will be using to apply the eyeshadow are clean. If you do not clean the brushes, it will become a messy affair and can also spoil the smoothness and beauty of the eyeshadows. Therefore, it is obligatory on your part to make sure that the applicators and brushes are kept clean.

Use Eye Primer For Upper Eyelids

Medium Eye Shadows For The Eyelids
Once you have applied the light eyeshadow from your eyelashes to the brows, it is time to use the medium shade of the shadow. Take the medium shade and apply it all over your eyelid with even strokes to get an even and continuous look.

Dark Shade For The Top Of Eyelid
The dark shade of eyeshadow is to be used on the top or crease of the eyelids. Applying the dark shade is the last stage in putting the eyeshadow. Make sure to blend the dark shade with the other two shades well to get an even finish and look.
