Below you will discover how to apply different types of eye shadow
How do you apply two colours of eyeshadow?
Combining two colours of eyeshadow creates depth and dimension. Start with a light shade on the moving eyelid and apply a darker shade in the arcade arch or outer corner of the eye. Blend the transitions with a soft brush for a natural gradient. The Afterglow Tempting Eyeshadow Palette by NARS offers a versatile selection of shades that harmonise perfectly with each other.
How do you use an eyeshadow pencil?
An eye shadow pencil is ideal for a quick, precise look. Apply the pencil directly onto the eyelid and blur with your fingertips or a brush. Laura Mercier' s iconic Caviar Stick Eye Color is creamy in texture and long-lasting without drawing in the lines.
How to use eyeshadow stick?
An eyeshadow stick works best if you apply an eye primer first. Draw a line along the lash line or apply directly to the entire eyelid. Blend quickly as the texture usually dries in no time. Choose neutral shades during the day and intense colours for evening.
How to use liquid eyeshadow?
Liquid eyeshadows like the Eyelights Cream Eye Shadow from RMS Beauty have high colour intensity. Apply with the applicator and work out with a flat brush or your fingertips. For a striking look: build up the colour slowly in several layers.
How do you apply cream eye shadow?
Cream eyeshadow melts with your skin for a soft, sophisticated finish. Use your ring finger or a flat brush and gently press the product into the skin. Ideal for a quick daily eye look with minimal effort.
Where can I apply dark eyeshadow?
Dark eyeshadow adds depth in the outer corner of the eye, the arcade arch or along the lash line for a smoky effect. In Byredo' s Eyeshadow 5 Colours palette, you will find perfect dark shades that enhance your look without appearing harsh.
How to apply glitter eyeshadow?
For glitter eyeshadow, preferably use a sticky base or a special glitter primer. Dab the glitter onto the centre of the eyelid with your finger for a radiant accent. Try a cream formula for a subtle glow or powder glitter for a statement look.
