How to Apply Different Styles of Eyeshadow


Applying eyeshadow can be a fun and creative way to enhance your eye shape and color. Here are some steps to follow when applying different styles of eyeshadow:

1. Prime your eyelids: Use an eyeshadow primer or a dab of concealer to create a smooth and even base for your eyeshadow. This will help your eyeshadow last longer and prevent creasing.

2. Choose your eyeshadow colors: Depending on the look you want to achieve, choose 2-3 colors that complement each other. For a natural look, choose neutral shades like brown, beige, and taupe. For a bold look, choose bright colors like blue, purple, or green.

3. Apply the base color: Use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to apply the lightest color all over your eyelid, from the lash line to the brow bone. This will help create a smooth and even base.

4. Apply the crease color: Use a smaller brush to apply a darker color in the crease of your eyelid. Blend the color upward and outward toward your brow bone to create a seamless transition.

5. Apply the accent color: Use a small brush to apply the accent color to the outer corner of your eye or along your lower lash line. This will help create depth and dimension to your eyeshadow look.

6. Blend: Use a clean fluffy brush to blend the colors together for a seamless finish.

7. Finish with eyeliner and mascara: Apply eyeliner to your upper lash line and mascara to your eyelashes to complete your look.

Different styles of eyeshadow application:

- Smokey eye: Use dark shades like black, charcoal, or deep brown to create a dramatic and smoky effect. Apply the darkest shade to the outer corner of your eye and blend inward. Use a light shade on your brow bone to highlight the area.

- Cut crease: Use a light shade all over your eyelid and apply a darker shade to the crease. Use a small brush to draw a line of concealer or eyeshadow primer along your eyelid crease, then apply a bold color above the line to create a cut crease effect.

- Halo eye: Use a light shade on your inner and outer eyelids and a darker shade in the center. Blend the colors together for a gradient effect.

- Gradient eye: Choose 2-3 shades in the same color family and apply the lightest shade all over your eyelid. Use a medium shade in the crease and the darkest shade on the outer corner of your eye.

Remember to have fun and experiment with different colors and techniques to find the eyeshadow style that works best for you!
