How to Create Sharp Eye Shadow Effects

Use blue eye shadow for a dramatic effect.

Create a dramatic look for your eyes without heavy black liner or layers of rich pigments. Eye shadow applied with sharp definition achieves that sexy, winged look with a fresh, modern flare.

Things You'll Need

• Eye shadow
• Eye shadow brush
• Tissue

Instructions

1. Hold the edge of a tissue at the outer corner of your eye.

2. Slant the tissue from the outer corner of your eye up toward your temple.

3. Hold the tissue in place with one hand as you dab some eyeshadow onto the brush and tap off excess powder.

4. Brush on eyeshadow in even strokes over the edge of the tissue.

5. Remove the tissue to reveal a sharply defined line in your eye shadow.
