How To Apply Eyeshadow
- Apply a concealer under your eyes to cover any dark circles. Sakib suggests that you use a darker shade than the typical ivory tones, for a more natural look.
- Apply liquid base to the lids - this helps keep the color on your lids longer and also adds a glow.
(This is when you would also apply base to the rest of your face and neck, preferably using a sponge applicator for an even finish)
- Apply a liquid eyeliner, a thin line is sufficient. Just go with the natural shape of your eye.
- Wet a sponge shadow applicator and cover the entire lid with it. This technique makes it easier for the powder eye shadow to stick to your eye.
- Now apply the powder eye shadow to to the entire lid
- Use a darker shade of the same color shadow on the corners of the eyes. This makes the eyes look bigger.
- Now reapply the eyeliner and smudge the ends for a smoky look
- Take a blending brush and blend the colors for a softer look
- You can apply a darker shade on the crease of the eye to add more drama and color to your eyes.
- Finally, don't forget to finish up with an even coat of mascara on both upper and lower lids.
