5 Easy Steps for Applying Eyeshadow

Do you resist eyeshadow? We challenge you to keep an open mind and try something new. A pretty eyeshadow can completely change your look. 

Eyeshadow can transform and enhance the look uniquely, whether it is gentle, energetic, natural, or sensual. It tends to break and smear over time if not applied properly. Who hasn't had to take off their eye makeup because they appeared like a raccoon a few hours after applying shadow?

One of the most typical blunders is failing to fade the shadows. As a result, when seeking a great result, the application strategy is crucial. Best of all, you may achieve professional-looking effects with just a few makeup brushes and three colors from the same color family. Let's see what happens!

In only 5 steps, you'll master how to apply them to your eyelids for a natural, long-lasting, attractive, and precise look. Don't be afraid to flaunt your radiance!

Steps to applying eyeshadow

For day to day, a special lunch or dinner, we teach you how to apply eyeshadow (step by step) and make the color remain intact all day. All you have to do is follow these steps.

Use two brushes - one to apply the shadows and one to perfectly blend them.

Step 1: Apply the primer on the eyelids to make your makeup last longer.

So that the eyeshadow does not run or crack, it is necessary to prepare the eyelid with an eye primer. This product, which you can find in liquid or cream format, makes the shadows last longer and the mobile eyelid is better pigmented. In addition, it facilitates a uniform application and prevents cracking.

Most eye primers are nude in color and are concealed with makeup, although there are also shades of gold or glitter to further enhance and enrich the look.

Step 2: Use a thick brush to apply the main color to the entire mobile eyelid.

For this step use the lightest color of the three you have chosen. The shadows you use must be from the same color range to achieve a more professional result.

This shade will be the predominant makeup. In this case, use a flat brush to deposit the product all over the mobile eyelid. Then blend well to achieve a natural result and reduce excess product.

Surely your eyeshadow palette brings an infinity of colors, all of them precious. But, you don't need to use them all at once. A good makeup artist only needs 3 shadows, or even less, to achieve a 10/10 look.

Step 3: Apply the darkest shade to the outer corner of the eye socket.

Apply the darkest shade to the outer corner of the eye socket, just where the bone ends, blending gently to avoid cuts.

The transition shade, which is a shade darker, will add depth to the eye. Apply this shadow to the eye socket and blend well with a blending brush.

Step 4: Blend the previous shadows with a medium-sized, fine-haired brush in this phase.

You'll be able to unify the various tones and eliminate the discrepancies between the various shadows in this manner, resulting in a much more realistic look.

Step 5: To brighten the area surrounding the tear duct and the arch of the brow, use a fourth very light and luminous shadow.

The goal of this step is to define the shadows and the overall design. Furthermore, we do it to create a more voluminous effect and to make the eye appear larger.

Mistakes to avoid when applying eyeshadow

1. Raccoon effect? Avoid this by using primer or pre-base to prevent the colors from running or cracking.

2. Hangover effect? For a natural, long-lasting finish, seal your eye makeup with a setting spray.

3. Eyeliner and mascara? Yes! If you want to enhance your look, do not go without the eyeliner. You don't need to extend it... just apply a darker shade at the base of the lashes.
