How should I apply eyeshadow properly?

when I go to school I like to wear a light pink or brown shimmery eyeshadow but I think I don't apply it correctly, do you put it all over your entire lid?How should I apply eyeshadow properly?
Hey there!





First of all, you should apply an eyeshadow that accents your eye color; for example, for brown eyes, pink, brown, and gold really make them stand out. I don't know what color eyes you have, but here is a guide that might help you:





Blue eyes: Pink or peach colored shadow will accentuate the blue in your eyes.


Brown eyes: Brown goes great with neutrals, like taupes and browns. Pink eyeshadow with a darker color in the crease will really make your eyes sparkle.


Hazel eyes: Colors like green, bronze, medium brown, or even khaki (http://fairviewministries.net/files/Othe… ) really accentuate your hazel eyes.


Green eyes: Darker green looks great, and will make your eyes look bright and awake. Gold shadow looks beautiful with green eyes, as does bright pink and plum.





As for applying the eye shadow... where do I start! Well first off, knowing when your eyeshadow is incorrectly applied would be the first step. If, after applying the shadow, your eyes look uneven or mismatched, it could be that you are applying the e/s differently on both eyes. Try to be as even as possible, and if you make a mistake, have some Q-tips ready. If the e/s is darker in some spots more so than others, than you might have unevenly blended it. Applying a base prior to the e/s will make it easier for it to stay even throughout the lid.





Blending is everything. When you first dip your brush into the e/s, you should have no more than a layer or two of e/s compacted on it. Remember - a little goes a long way! Apply the e/s to the center of your lid up to your crease using a patting motion; if you sweep it on too quickly, some of the powder might fall off the brush and onto your cheek, and maybe even in your eye [ouch!]. Once you've got as much as you need on your lid using that technique, sweep the eyeshadow outward using a circular motion. Apply more e/s to your brush if needed. For the inner corner, this is the place where you want your eye to brighten up. Applying a highlight, using the patting technique, to your inner corner will brighten up your whole eye. Use that same color to blend the eyeshadow above your crease so it fades out nicely.





If you want to go a bit more dramatic, get an e/s that goes with both the shadow you have previously applied and your eye color, and that is darker. Saying you used brown as your main eyeshadow, I'd suggest dark brown for the dark color. Get a flat brush and apply e/s to outer third of eye, concentrating on the crease. Once there's no more on your brush, sweep the dark brown from outer crease to about 1/2 way - 2/3 in your crease. Blend out any harsh lines.





To finish off the look, apply mascara to top and bottom lashes [bottom is optional]. You will look stunning!

when you are looking directly at yourself in the mirror, you should be able to see a bit of the eyeshadow.


it shouldn't be more than this
