How to apply eye shadow and perfectly emphasize your gaze? This is a question that many women ask themselves. We have prepared a guide especially for you, thanks to which you will learn the secrets of eye makeup.
Eyelid skin preparation
Before you start applying eye shadow, it's worth taking care of the proper preparation of the eyelid skin. Here are a few steps that will help you in this process:
1. Cleansing
Start by thoroughly cleansing your eyelids. Use a mild makeup remover to do this. Then gently pat dry your eyelids.
2. Moisturizing
Apply a light moisturizer to the skin of your eyelids. Make sure the cream is suitable for the skin around your eyes and does not cause irritation. This will keep the skin in good condition and make it easier to apply eye shadow.
3. Eye shadow base
If you tend to have dry or oily eyelids, consider using an eyeshadow primer. This will help your eyeshadow last longer and prevent smudging. Gently apply a small amount of primer to your entire eyelid and blend it out with your finger or a brush.
Choosing the right shadows
Choosing the right eyeshadow depends on your eye shape and color. Here are a few tips to follow based on your eye shape.
-
- Round eyes: To lengthen and slim the eyes, use darker shades of eyeshadow on the outer corners of the eye and on the crease of the eyelid. A lighter shade of eyeshadow can be applied to the inner corner of the eye to optically enlarge the eyes.
-
- Almond eyes: Almond eyes are considered the most classic eye shape and suit a variety of shades. You can experiment with different colors and makeup styles to enhance their natural shape.
-
- Slanted eyes: To make slanted eyes appear more open, use lighter shades on the mobile eyelid. Darker eye shadow can be applied to the crease of the eyelid to emphasize the depth of the eye.
-
- Squinting eyes: Squinting eyes are characterized by a drooping eyelid crease, so it is important to use the right shadows. Use a light shadow on the mobile eyelid and blend it gently on the crease to optically lift the eye. Avoid a heavy shadow on the outer corner of the eye, as this can make the eyes appear even more droopy.
Remember to choose only proven products when reaching for facial makeup. Bikor is a brand you can trust. Their eyeshadow palettes will allow you to create effective and long-lasting eye makeup.
Shadow application technique
Once you have chosen the right shades, it is time to learn the application technique. Here are some tips:
1. Preparing the brushes
Make sure the brushes you use are clean and dry. If you want a more intense color, you can spray the brush with water before applying the eyeshadow.
2. Applying the base shadow
Start by applying a light shade to the entire mobile eyelid. This step will help create a base for the other colors and make blending easier.
3. Applying shadows to the crease of the eyelid
Then use a darker shade and gently apply it to the crease of the eyelid. Remember to blend to avoid harsh transitions.
