How to Apply Eye shadow that will last all day long

I always wanted to wear eye shadow that lasted all day without buying expensive eye shadows. I worked with a lot of make-up artists and learned a few secrets. Now you can learn the tricks of the trade !

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Foundation
• Sponge Applicator
• Eye shadow brush
• Eyeshadow of choice
• Concealer

1. After washing your face. Apply foundation to eyelids with fingertips or sponge.

2. Next apply to your eyelid a neutral concealer which comes closest to matching your natural skin tone.

3. Next, apply a neutral shade of eye shadow or a color nearest your skin color over the concealer. When the powder adheres to the cream this will create a smudge resistant base for your eye shadow. It will last forever.

4. 
    

   When applying eye shadow sweep the lightest shade over the entire area from lash line to brow. This shade will be your base color. This will hold your color and prevent creasing.

5. After applying your base color, apply a medium shade on the lower lid. Blend into your base shade. Now your eye shadow will last all day long!
