Makeup Basics - Application of Eyeshadow

If you have deep or sunken eyes then you should note that your eyes will look even deeper. Instead of using eyeshadow you can use foundation.

One of the most important tips on how to apply eyeshadow well, is to BLEND! Blending is important in all makeup and especially when you are blending the different colors of eyeshadow.

You always apply two or three tones of eyeshadow and the colors should blend in a smooth way between the different shades. When you use three colors then you have the base, the main color and the highlight color. The base color is applied on the eyelids first, then the main color and then the highlight in the crease of the eyes.

The first step of how to apply eyeshadow is to apply the primer. When you use a primer before applying eyeshadow it will make the end result look smoother and the makeup will last from a few hours to a full day.

When you are picking the shimmer or the highlight color be careful. The shimmer is used to bring out the eyes but too much of it will also bring out the wrinkles and other lines.

Things Required:

Eyeshadow, powder and/or cream
Primer (eyeshadow primer, liquid foundation, concealer, or gentle lotion)
Eyeshadow brush

Makeup Tips - Application of Foundation and Concealer

Apply concealer lightly. A little bit can go a long way.

Don’t overdo the foundation. The goal here is to look as naturally beautiful as possible.

Always choose a foundation tone that matches your skin. Going too dark or too light is a mistake all women make. Test out your foundation in the store and make sure you have good lighting when you test it. Don’t test color on the inside of your wrist, test on your jaw line.

You should never apply foundation to your neck to make the color match your face. If there is a color difference, you are using a shade of foundation that is too dark.

Make sure you buy the correct type of foundation for your skin. If you have dry skin, use a liquid foundation and use powder or mineral foundation if you have oily skin.

If you have sensitive or problematic skin, don’t invest on cheap foundation because the cheaper brands can irritate your skin. Higher-end brands can actually improve the quality of your skin rather than irritating it.

If you need a lot of coverage on your face, use a liquid foundation followed by dusting, powdered foundation and then a translucent powder. Using the different types of foundations together will provide maximum protection and coverage and will look more natural than if you just cake one type of foundation on.

ALWAYS apply moisturizer before you start, to protect your skin.

Avoid touching your face during the day. You may rub off your foundation and you will be putting unnecessary oil on your face that may cause blemishes.

Be aware that your skin type may change over the year; your skin will probably be dryer in the winter and more oily in the summer. Use different types of foundation accordingly.

If you use makeup brushes to apply foundation make sure you wash them regularly because oil and dirt build up on them and you don’t want to put that on your face everyday. Nearly all brushes can be washed with a mild liquid soap, rinsed well and hung upside down to dry.
