If you have dark eyes you do not want to use dark eyeshadow. Try something light, like pink or gold or silver or light blue or purple. If you want your eyes to pop use dark eyeliner on the top and dark mascara with a light eyeshadow.

There are many ways to wear eyeshadow, I suggest if you want it to last longer and not crease to start with a base. You can buy Too Faced Shadow Insurance from Sephora or Urban Decay Primer Potion from Sephora for $18 each. Wearing a base is not necessary but it helps. Next you will need something to apply your eyeshadow. I suggest a brush, mainly because they last longer and are a better investment. The simplest way of applying eyeshadow is only putting it on the lid. I would suggest using neutral shades such as brown and pinks. Apply the shadow evenly for the best effect. You can also apply a shade (not too dark) darker color into the crease (where your brow bone and eyeball meet) and a highlight on the brow bone.

hello.

the way to use eye shadow is simple. All you do is dip your eye shadow brush into the eye shadow so that you can see it on the brush. Then you swipe it across your eye lids. Thats all you have to do! simple!

The finish look:

your eye lids should have the eye shadow colour that you have chosen and you should be able to see it when you blink.

To learn about more make-up then read on:

You need:

-A shadow base or primer (or face powder)

-An eyeshadow brush

-Three coordinating shades of Eyeshadow( Should be an Eyelid, Crease & Browbone Eyeshadow; Pick the colours that work best with your eyes and skin tone)

Step 1:

Apply the shadow base or primer to your eyelid. Use an applicator wand to dab a small dot on your finger and spread it over onto your eyelid with your finger. It will help to keep your eyeshadow in place for hours.

Step 2:

Apply your lightest colour(Eyelid) by sweeping your brush across the entire eyelid. Cover from lash line to brow.

Step 3:

Use the medium eyeshadow onto you your lower lids.

Step 4:

Highlight the crease of your eyelid(Crease). Start at the outer corner of the eyes, above the lash line and follow crease.

Step 5:

Apply the highlighter (Browbone) under the browbone to make your eyes appear larger.

Apply it from the corner of your eye and across your eyeline, start experimenting with how dark you want it before you move onto the rest of your eye, once you find your color bring it up as high as you want the eyeshadow to go. Then start applying more layers, colors, etc or just leave as it is. If you want to go for a more exotic look, put some eyeshadow on the bottow from the corner of your eye to wear you bottom lashes start, or continue under the lashed until you meet the other side of the eye. Make sure your putting the eyeshadow in the corner of the eye! :)

Eyeshadow is simple to apply, but the main thing to remember about eye shadow is not to use garish colors. Loud colors, such as bright blue, purple or green, tend to make a woman look tacky and a bit dated. Natural, earthy colors are best for creating a pleasant appearance when choosing all types of makeup, including eyeshadow.

Eyeshadow application is a matter of using common sense and following instructions

Use your own natural common sense when you apply eyeshadow. Your common sense, along with the instructions on the brand of eyeshadow you are using, enable you to apply the eyeshadow properly. You should buy an eyeshadow kit that has correctly matching colors for applying the eyeshadow under the eyebrow and on the eyelid. These colors should correctly contrast with each other in order to make your eyes stand out in the crowd. If you are using subtle colors, such as light brown or ivory, simply apply the color that is recommended for the eyebrow area, which is usually the lighter color, directly under the part of your eyebrow that is the furthest distance from your nose. Then apply the contrasting color, which is usually the darker color, on your eyelid. Sometimes there is a third matching, yet contrasting, color that is applied on the fold or crease of the eyelid to create an even more dramatic look.

Remember to stay away from bright, tawdry eyeshadow colors. While it is true that bright blue, purple or green brings out the color of your eyes, these colors also tend to make you have an unprofessional appearance.

You can buy powdered eyeshadow, liquid eyeshadow or eyeshadow with a matte finish. The type of eyeshadow you buy determines the method of application. If you follow the instructions, plus use your own womanly intuition, your eyes are sure to sparkle.

Powder eye-shadow kits often include three shades: a darker shade, a medium shade and a highlighter. Before applying eye shadow, use an eye liner on the outer three-quarters of the upper and lower lash lines. First, apply the darkest shade of eye shadow to the outer half of the eyelids, sweeping it halfway to the brow. Next, apply the medium shade to the rest of the eye. Then apply the highlighter directly underneath the brow bone on the outer half of the eyes. Smudge with a cosmetic brush or foam eye-shadow applicator. So you don't get eye-shadow powder on your mascara, save it to the last step.
