The Festive Season is approaching and most of us still wonder what’s the best way to follow through with a longwearing, wicked eyeshadow look. Here are a few tips.
Prime your eyelids: Use eyeshadow primer or a dab of liquid foundation, or concealer. This step will help keep your eyeshadow vibrant on your eyelids,
Apply eyeshadow: Start with a light colour that almost matches your lid. Sweep the color across the lid and up to your brow bone. Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on that with a darker colour in the crease. Blend the colors well.
Brighten your eyes with a highlighter: This step involves only the inside part of the eye. Putting a bit of your lightest eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eye will brighten it significantly (this is the makeup artist’s secret and the best trick of all the time).
Highlight your brow: Take the same light eyeshadow and dab it on your brow bone, concentrating on your mid-brow outward. Blend with your finger. You can even use a shade lighter in you concealer. That will do the trick!
Apply mascara: Place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of your eyelashes and wiggle back and forth. Follow with another few sweeps of the wand. Apply to the bottom lashes as well.
Once you have the right tools and you follow the tips above, you can master the art of applying eyeshadow like a professional. Always remember how often your eyes will be noticed! Make sure they always look their best.
