Eyeshadow makeup

How to Apply Eyeshadow
I'm a beauty editor and yet it took me years to figure out how to apply eyeshadow that:
1.Wasn't crooked(mismatched eyes!)
2.Wasn't too dark or blotchily blended(yes,I know"blotchily"is not a word)
3.Didn't extend to the wrong,wrong,wrong upper reaches of my eyelids
After years of seeing makeup artists in action and learning numerous eyeshadow tips and tricks,here are my 10 favorites I wish someone had told me twenty years ago:
Secret #1:Blending is key
Ok,well I sorta knew this,but I wasn't sure HOW TO BLEND.You use three different colors:The base,usually a very light taupe,a highlighter for the crease and a main color for the lid,but how to get them to look as if they merge into each other like the colors of a rainbow?My secret:Start light then go darker.Brush the base color,apply the lid color and THEN apply the highlighter.Also,don't be too heavy-handed or you'll have to start over.Extra tip:Practice makes perfect.Play with your makeup a few days before a big event.
Secret #2:Choose shadows that make the color of your eyes pop
Gone are the days when beauty experts advised against blue shadow.Matching the color of your eye with a shadow actually brings the color out(think blue shadow on blue eyes).At the same time,contrasting colors make eyes pop too(think a deep jeweled blue shadow on deep brown eyes).
Secret #3:Never cover your browbone with deep color--unless you're doing a cover shoot for Vogue
You don't want the drama too much shadow brings.Apply shadow up to the browbone but don't apply shadow ON the bone unless it's a neutral color or a highlighter.
Secret #4:Highlighter can make or break your look
When applying dark shadow to the crease of your eye,be careful to blend only on the outside edge.Get to close to the eye and you'll cause your eyes to look teeny and beady.
Secret #5:Set shadow with a great base
Primers are super hot right now because they help set makeup that stays for hours.I've found the secret to keeping shadow in place for hours is a shadow base.Almost everyone makes them but I swear by MAC Paints.
Secret #6:Shimmer is hot,but plays up wrinkles
Shimmer makes eyes really pop,but it also highlights heavy lids,lines and wrinkles.A great look for shimmer is to create a'nude'lid,but apply a bit of gold shimmer to the browbone.Gorgeous!
Secret #7:Smokey is great,but keep it to the lid
Making up a smokey eye?Keep color to the lid and just under the lower lashline.Don't extend color above the crease.
Secret #8:How to pair shadow with red lips
Remember the beauty rule'Thou Shalt Not Play up the Lips AND the Mouth.'If you're going for dramatic red lips(never out of fashion),cover unsightly blue lines on lids with a concealer or shadow primer and then keep eyeshadow light.
Secret #9:Make eyes brighter with white
A dot of white shadow or pencil on the inside of the eye near the tear duct will make eyes look brighter.
Secret #10:Go for color Taupe and lavender look great on all eye colors.Also consider mixing shades if you bought a color that's just too bold for you.Mixing an electric blue with taupe can turn out the most perfect color.Great buys:

How To How to Apply Eye Makeup in 8 Steps
When evening calls for a glamorous look,you want to focus on making your eyes amazing.Here's how to apply eye makeup in only 8 steps.
1.Prep your eyes with concealer Concealer can be used to cover up undereye circles or just the bluish discoloration just under your inner eye.To cover dark undereye circles,apply three dots of concealer under each eye.Start at the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest,then under the pupil and the third on the outer edge.Pat,never rub with your ring finger(this finger tends to have the softest pad)until it disappears.
2.Apply eye base to your lid Eye base is the secret to keeping your shadow in place for hours.Without properly priming your lid first,your eyeshadow will likely end up a greasy line in your crease.
3.Apply shadow.It's great to use a three-toned shadow and build from lids to brow.Allowing them to blend into each other like a rainbow is gorgeous,according to celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal.Start with a light color that almost matches your lid.Sweep the color across the lid and up to your browbone.Follow with a medium color across your lid only.Build on this with a darker color in the crease.Blend the colors well.
4.Follow with eyeliner Dark eyeshadows work great as eyeliners.Wet a slanted brush,then dip in a dark eyeshadow.Line eyes as close to the upper lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner.Follow with liner on bottom eyes,but only line from the middle of the eye out.Smudge the bottom line with a Q-tip or your finger.You don't want a prominent line.For a smokey eye,use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the lid.You don't want a stark line,instead you want to blend it so it's 'smudge-y.'
5.Brighten your eyes with a highlighter This step involves only the inside part of the eye.With a gold or pink highlighter(white is too bright),draw a v-shaped shape that follows the inner corner of your eye from top to bottom.Blend with your fingers.This will help make eyes 'pop.
6.Highlight your brow Take the same highlighter and dab it on your browbone,concentrating on your mid-brow outward.Blend with your finger.
7.Curl lashes An eyelash curler will make even long lashes look more gorgeous.For added effect,you can heat the curler under a blowdryer for a couple seconds.Test curler before applying to lashes because you could burn yourself.
8.Apply mascara Place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of lashes and wiggle back and forth.Follow with another few sweeps of the wand.Apply to bottom lashes as well.

Smokey Eyes Makeup

Smoky eyes is a glamourous makeup,which has been one of the most fashionable makeups for a few seasons.It creates a refined and mysterious image.Wondering how to get it by yourself?The key to the perfect smoky eyes is to blend colors properly.Avoid blue hues,choose black,gray,brown or dark green shadows and liners instead.Here are 7 easy steps to create smoky eyes.Below you will find two videos,which will also help you to create it.
What You Will Need for Creating Smoky Eyes
*Eye primer(eyeshadow base),
*2 Shades of shadows:a light one and a darker one,
*Eyeliner.
*Makeup brushes.
*Mascara.
Step 1.Prepare Lids
Start with an eyeshadow base to remove oil from your eyelids and to keep eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease.
Step 1.Prepare Lids
Step 2.Use Eyeliner
If you’ve chosen a typical black,brown or gray smoky eye,apply a soft eyeliner in one of the colors above the upper lash line.The line should be thicker in the middle of eye.If your choice is jewel-toned eyes,line your eyes with a purple,blue or deep green liner.Use the pencil liner from the inner eye corner to the outer.Smudge both lash lines with a cotton swab or an eyeliner brush.
Step 2.Use Eyeliner
Step 3.Color on Bottom Lids
To give your bottom lids the color,which will be the key to smoky eyes,apply the liner of a lighter color to the bottom lids:dot it between your lower lashes.The most important point here is to smudge it.To do it,apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.
Step 3.Color on Bottom Lids
Step 4.Light Base Color on Upper Lids
Sweep light base color over the lids to the browbones.It’s better to use cream shade of mousse shadow.The shadow should also be shimmery.Thus,you have the eyeliner and the base.
Step 5.Apply Darker Color–Smoky Effect Itself
Choose a darker eyeshadow shade.Using a brush,blend in color starting at your lash line and then applying it into your crease,blending up and outward.Blend color so that the eye liner disappears.
Step 5.Apply Darker Color–Smoky Effect Itself
Step 6.Correcting Smoky Eyes

Finish your smoky eyes with some coats of black volumizing mascara you usually apply.That’s it!
