How To Apply Eye Shadow

Even if you don’t like wearing makeup, applying eye shadow will really improve your appearance and it doesn’t take more than a few minutes of your time. If you do it correctly, you will obtain a natural look and you will certainly notice the improvement.

Before applying the eye shadow you will need to apply a shadow base. This cream can be applied with your finger directly, but make sure to wash your hands before starting your makeup routine. You just need a very thin layer of shadow base on your upper eyelids and you will be ready to go. If you want your eyelid to stand out, you have to use a light color, but if you want to be more discrete, you can consider using a darker nuance. A medium brush is recommended when applying eye shadow and the best way of starting the process is from the outside in. You should start with a lighter color which should cover most of your eyelid and the darker color should only be used on top of the eyeball in a semi circular movement until you start noticing an eye shadow. If you want a gentle shadow, you can use a smaller brush than the first one.

This is what you should know before applying eye shadow. This technique will give you a natural look and it can be used to cover some defects, including wrinkles.
