Today I want to discuss how to Love Your Eyes! It is my mission to teach everyday women the fundamentals of makeup and create the confidence they need to paint like a pro. If you've ever put on eyeyeshadow and scared yourself, then stay tuned. What I'm about to share with you will bring clarity to the process of applying eyeshadow and teach you techniques to get that smooth finished look that last all-day.
There are four things we want to consider when applying eyeshadow:
- Eyeshape
- Brushes
- Primer
- Colors
First up is Eyeshape! The eyeshape determines how you look at your crease, lid and browbone. If you don't know your eyeshape then you're bound to make placement mistakes that will sabotage your look. In my new ebook, "(4) Tips for Perfect Eyeshadow" you'll learn six eyeshapes to consider before starting your eyeshadow journey.
The next thing to consider is what brushes to use. Think of makeup brushes like a hammer to a carpenter, if you don't have the right tools then it's tough to do a great job. You've got crease brushes, blending and flat eyeshadow brushes to choose from. Each brush is designed for a specific area of your eye and has a certain finish it will create. You can start off small when purchasing brushes but making sure you have the essentials will save you time and headache.
One of the ways to create a great eyeshadow look that last is to use primer. Eyeshadow primer helps give eyeshadow longevity and gives color a more vibrant look. There are a number of brands to choose from, so making sure you identify your needs is top priority. If you have oily lids you make look for a primer that is longlasting and water resistant. If you're looking for vibrancy you may choose a primer that is creamy and has a white base.
Lastly, choosing colors may be a major fear for some beauties because using colors that don't harmonize with your eyecolor or skin undertone can make the look awkward and painfully obvious. One way to choose color is to consider a monochromatic color scheme. A monocramtic color scheme is a color combination that uses just a light, medium and dark version of one color. So, if you have brown eyes, try using a light, medium and dark purple to bring out your eyes.
