This article is about eye shadow, and how to apply it.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Three colors of shadow:
  • 1 light
  • 1 darker
  • The last one should be the darkest.
  • an eyeshadow applying brush.
  1. Step 1

    1st step (choose your own colors, it doesn't have to be the one in the caption): Take your eye shadow brush and tap it against the lightest color of eye shadow you will use (make sure there is enough, but not too much) and rub it from your eyelashes, up to your eyebrow. That is called the highlight.

  2. Step 2

    2nd step: Wipe your brush off and tap it against the 2nd darkest eye shadow color. You will rub it from the lashes to the crease of your eye, below the brow you will see an indent and that is the crease. This is called the base coat.

  3. Step 3

    3rd and last step to applying your eye shadow: Once again, wipe your brush off. Tap your brush on the darkest color and rub it on the crease of the lid, the indent below the brow only.
    Those are all of the steps, so your done...be sure to check out tips and warnings below.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be sure to always clean your eyeshadow brush (or any makeup brush you have)(steps are down below how to clean) so it doesn't grow bacteria... trust me it can happen!!
  • All you have to do to clean it is rinse your brush down under slightly warm water, then squeeze out water from your brush with a wash cloth, paper towel, kleenex, or a piece of toilet paper.
  • BACTERIA REALLY CAN GROW IN YOUR BRUSH IF YOU DON'T CLEAN EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE!
  • If you don't use a good brand name for your eye shadow, you can get pimples easily....I reccomend Maybelline, Revlon, or Loreal. (there are lots more types of good eyeshadow out there though.)
