Eyeshadow can be tricky especially if it’s your first time attempting something other than one colour all over your eye lid. Learn how to apply your eyeshadow with these tips and tricks!
2. Getting Started
You’re going to need 3 colours of eye shadow. Pick
a deep tone like a deep brown/grey/burgundy hue,
a highlighter colour that is light and shimmery and a
neutral colour like a soft pink, light brown etc. The
goal is to diffuse all of the colours together to
create dimension. Before we get started, brushes
are a MUST! The trick to a seamless smoky eye is
using eyeshadow brushes that help blend the look
together.

3. 1.Apply the neutral colour all over your lid as the base
2.Next, apply the deep tone only in the crease starting
from the outer corner of your eyes to about a third of
your eye. Best practice for application is to blend, blend,
blend and blend some more to avoid harsh lines. This can
be done by applying colour while using a circular motion
buffing the colour in crease.
3.Finally, apply the light colour just above the crease of
your eyes starting from your inner eye extending all the
way to edge. Also, to define your brows you can apply
this colour right underneath your brows along the brow
line. This ads a balancing act of bringing the two mid and
deep tones together in perfect blended harmony.
Voila, a seamless Smokey eyeshadow look that only takes
5 minutes to create!

4. One word: primer!
Eyeshadow primers are key to keeping your perfectly
curated eyeshadow in place all day long without
fading. Throughout the day your eyelids can excrete
excess oils that can make them look greasy. Before
you apply your eyeshadow be sure to apply a thin
layer of primer all over your eyelid starting from the
brow bone to the outer edge of the eye.

5. You can create an eyeliner using your eyeshadow
with a thin eyeliner brush. Here’a how you do it:
1.Pick a deep hue of eyeshadow, coat your eyeliner
brush thoroughly with pigmented eyeshadow.
2.Make sure your eyelids are coated with primer
before application(this will ensure your eyeliner
sticks and holds to eyelid)
3.Keep your brush close to your lash line, use short
strokes along lash line blending colour into lash line.
4.Keep your hands steady for a clean straight
eyeliner, and if you’re feeling a cat eyeliner, at the
end of your eye flick brush slightly upwards towards
end of brow.
