While there are rigid rules when it comes to foundations, it
is with your eye color that you can allow your creative side
to take flight.
Your eyes are the focal point of your face. Be sure that
your eye makeup techniques and choice of colors are most flattering
to your eye shape and color.
With eye color you can create the illusion of new shapes and
sizes. Always keep in mind that light colors highlight and
dark colors shrink or recede.
Powder eyeshadows come in singles or color coordinated duos,
trios or quads. Try to find eye shadows that are highly pigmented.
Simply put, you want the shade you see in the container to
be the color you see on your eyes.
When applying eyeshadow sweep the lightest shade over the
entire area from lash line to brow. This shade will be your
base color and is to your eye, what your foundation is to
your face. It will hold your color and prevent creasing.
After applying your base color, apply a medium shade on the
lower lid. This is the part of the eye that most women apply
eyeshadow. Blend into your base shade.
A third color can then be added. Use a deep, dark shade to
create depth. Apply this shade along the lash line, and at
the outer corner of the eye, emphasizing the crease of the
eye and brow bone. Blend well. This is your accent shade and
when used can create a more defined eye.
How you apply this contour shade can help eyes look bigger,
smaller, wider set or closer together. The key is to blend
so well that attention is still drawn to your eye, not your
eye makeup.
For eye shadow that looks “just applied” for
hours, first, base your eyelid with a neutral concealer which
closely matches your natural skin tone. Next, apply a neutral
shade of eye shadow or a color nearest your skin color over
the concealer. The process of the powder adhering to the cream
will create a smudge resistant base for your eye shadow. It
will last forever.
Really high quality powder eyeshadows can be used wet or
dry. Dampen your brush or applicator and create your own liquid
eyeliner in any vibrant eyeshadow colors. Wet application
of these eyeshadows serves to intensify the color.
Cream eyeshadows are the newest kids on the block. Avoid
formlations that crease upon application. These cream eyeshadows
can be coordinated with your powder shadows. A cream eyeshadow
can be used as an under base with a matching powder shadow
as a sealant. The best applicators for any cream eye shadow
are your fingertips.
For extra glamour, use an iridescent powder to highlight
your eyes. This makes it possible to trasform your day makeup
into a glamorous night look.
