Great ways to apply eye shadow: The Best 4 tips that work

I love eye shadow palettes because they captivate and enhance your eyes. It can be a little intimidating but here are a few tips to help you out.

Tip#1 Use an eye shadow primer

The base for any color or product is important and can make a huge difference. An eye shadow primer can help your eye shadow last longer throughout the day and help your eye shadow colors pop. If you’ve ran out of primer your next best option will be concealer its work great as a base for your eye shadow too.

Tip #2 Use the right brush

Using the right brush is highly important, the shape of the brush can create different effects. If you are looking to have your eye shadow well blended then go for a fluffy blender brush. The right brush can help you whether your new to makeup or want to improve your skills. Tools are important in building a home, right?

Tip# 3 Pick the right transition colors

Picking the right transition color for your eye crease can make a huge difference. Its best to go for a color that will enhance your eye shape or eye shadow color. Nude colors like tan, brown, orange are very helpful to use.

Tip #4 Use A pop of color

Using a pop of color on the center of your lid can make any eye shadow you placed on you eye lid look instantly better. For example glitter eye shadows in the colors gold or silver when placed in the center of your eyelid can make your look more flawless and professional.

Tip #5 Use an inner color highlight

Placing a bright glitter color like gold and silver in you inner eye corner can make your eye shadow look great. I never skip this step even if I’m using minimal makeup for that day. You can even go a step further and use a highlighter color instead which can make your overall eye look sexy and sultry.

Bonus Tip: Smoke out your bottom eye

Smoking out the bottom of your eye with the same color you used on your top eye makes your overall look complete and professional.
