How to apply eye shadow

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• eye shadows
• loose powder

1. Prime the eyelids by dusting them with a small amount of loose powder.
2. Select a light base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash line.
3. Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.
4. Contour the crease of your eyelid with a dark shade, using a smaller eye shadow brush. This color can also work as an eyeliner (see the next section for instructions).
5. Blend shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Don't use your finger. You could wipe off the shadow entirely.
6. Use a cosmetic puff and a little pressed powder to tone down heavy shadow. Shake any excess powder off the puff, then press it gently on your lid.
