Applying eye shadow
There are several ways to apply eye make-up. Do you want to use one colour or combine several colours? You apply it easily with the right make-up brushes. Choose the best colours from your eyeshadow palette that you want to use.
- Step 1: Apply a primer on the eyelid.
- Step 2: Use a light (base) colour on the moving eyelid to just below the eyebrows.
- Step 3: Apply the dark colour from the outer corner of the eye to about the centre of the eye.
- Step 4: Do not let this colour run too much above the arcade arch.
- Step 5: Blend the colours together for a nice, natural transition.
- Step 6: Use an eye pencil and/or mascara as desired.
- Tip: Experiment with eyeshadow application from time to time. Choose a darker colour one time, apply a bit more product or set it a bit higher. That way you will find out what you like and what suits you best. Don't like it? Remove the make-up easily with an eye make-up remover.
- Tip: Apply eye make-up as the first step of your make-up routine. Small mistakes can still be easily fixed with your concealer or foundation.
