Is there any place where I can find out tips and techniques to apply eye shadows? Like what colors are best for certain color eyes or complexions? Or how to correctly wear eye shadows that come in the 3 different colors? I hope this makes sense.
I don't have the money to actually go to a professional. And my small town doesn't have the department store make up girls.How do you apply eyeshadow?

EYESHADOW should always glide on smoothly, and can be used to subtly change or enhance the shape of the eyes, to add simple definition or to make a strong impact, depending on your choice of colour. It is also useful to disguise the blueness many of us have on the skin on our eyelids.
CREAM VS POWDER
Whether you wear cream or powder formulations of eye shadow is down to personal preference. Cream-to-powder eye shadows are easy to apply, as they can be literally swept over the eyelid in one stroke, but they have the disadvantage of gliding off again within hours of application or of creasing in the eyelid. To improve the staying power of cream eye shadow, try setting It with a light dusting of translucent powder While powder eye shadows do tend to stay put, they require greater precision in application. Older skins will benefit from the use of powder eye shadows.
COLOUR CHOICE IN APPLYING EYESHADOW
When you select colours, remember that dark ones deepen or hollow features, while light ones will make the eyes stand out. Choose bright colours carefully. They can look great but they draw attention instantly to the eyes and run the risk of looking unnatural, unless the face is balanced with other suitable make-up products. Don't be put off by eye shadow colours before you have apply them, as most will appear more intense in the palettes than they actually are.
Experiment with bright shades, but use them as a wash over the eyelids to add a subtle hint of colour. You don't need to wear colours that match the colour of your ins, but it's a good idea to select shades which will accentuate your natural colouring. For those with blue eyes, try liner in brown or navy and avoid wearing blue eyeshadow. Green eyes stand out when shaded with khaki and brown shades with yellow undertones. Very dark brown eyes can wear almost any colour but look especially striking with browns, charcoal and mahogany. Finally, grey/green eyes are enhanced by charcoal and black.
EYESHADOW APPLICATION
If you wear glasses, take into consideration the type of lenses you have when you are selecting make-up. If you are short-sighted, corrective lenses will magnify your eyes, so unless you have naturally small eyes wear muted or natural shades of eyeshadow. If you are longsighted, your lenses will make your eyes appear smaller, so use eyeshadow to strengthen them. Dust eyeshadow along the socket line and outer corners of the eyes, but do not shade the eyelid heavily. Avoid wearing eyeliner on the upper lash line and steer clear of dark eyeshadow, as this will make the eyes appear smaller than they are. Also, frames will cast a shadow on the face, so disguise any darkness with a concealer one shade lighter than your foundation.
HOW TO APPLY EYE SHADOW
Make-up artists recommend that, when you are wearing eyeshadow, you should pile on extra loose powder under the eyes to catch any stray particles of eyeshadow. After shading the eyes, this can be removed by dusting off with a large make-up brush. After application, if you feel your choice of eyeshadow is too intense, tone the colour down by dusting with face powder or gently wipe a foundation sponge over the eyelid to make the overall effect more subtle. To ensure that your eyeshadow is long-lasting and crease-proof, make-up artists advise application with a damp make-up brush. As the eyeshadow is blended into the skin, it will dry. Also, because the product will cling to the wet brush, stray particles of powder will not collect on the cheeks.How do you apply eyeshadow?

I apply eyeshadow with my fingertip -- It's how I was taught in my stage makeup class, and it became a habit for me. If I can't use my finger, I use a soft paintbrush and lightly wet it before dipping it into the power.
For three colored shadows, you can pick one shadow and use it, or you can start one color in the corner of your eye, slowly blend it into the middle of the eye and blend the third color out into the outside of the eye.
A tip that many people overlook: Always start in the middle of your eyelid when applying shadow. This is because it'll line up with your pupil, and your eye will have an equal ';heaviness'; to it, making your eyelids aligned with your pupil. Make it heavy in the center and blend it outward evenly to the three sides around it.
What I do is take colors that look nice on me (mauves, browns, etc) and take 3 colors that are just slightly different. Then I put the darker on the outside on the bottom of my lid, the medium shade on the inside on the bottom and the light on the top just under my eyebrow.
Here is a couple sites for application tips...
I'm sure if you just typed in make up tips into a search engine it would come up with lots! the whole 3 in 1 eye shadows are so that you can do smokey eyes gradually go from the outside corner of you eye to the inside of you eye using first the darkest to the lightest. also using the lightest one all over the eye and then using the darkest just following the crease of your eye lid and around your socket to make your eyes look bigger!! try just experimenting in you room so if it does not look right you can just wash it off and try something different! good luck!
I love trying new things with eyeshaddow and it usually turns out very nice.
First thing you should get is some different tones of shadow. Best go for more neutral colours as they compliment the rest of your makeup too. Browns, beiges, golds, nice greens etc are very good.
Then you have to get a sponge applicator. You can get these double sided or one sides and in many sizes. Its basicly up to you which one you choose. You can get these from places like a chemist or beauty store.
If you are planning on useing more than one shade at once, you should buy an eyeshadow brush. These are great for blending and making everything look more professional. Again you can get these from places like 'Boots'

Take the ligtest shadow and put that under your eye brow, and in the tear duct. or when you use a bright color (bright pink, teal, emerald etc.) put that on the out side corners blending in to the lid.
