How to Apply Eye Shadow

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Article Badges:

Sweep a touch of shadow over your lids to accent eyes. You can define them, add drama,
and make them stand out in a few quick steps.

Application on Entire Lid

Instructions

• STEP 1: Prime the eyelids by dusting them with a small amount of loose powder.
• STEP 2: Select a light base shadow. Using a shadow brush, sweep it across your
entire lid, from brow to lash line.
• STEP 3: Use a medium-toned shade to cover your lower lids.
• STEP 4: Contour the crease of your eyelid with a dark shade, using a smaller eye
shadow brush. This color can also work as an eyeliner (see the next section for
instructions).
• STEP 5: Blend shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush.
Don't use your finger'you could wipe off the shadow entirely.
• STEP 6: Use a cosmetic puff and a little pressed powder to tone down heavy
shadow. Shake any excess powder off the puff, then press it gently on your lid.

Eye Shadow to Line the Eyes

Instructions

• STEP 1: Choose a medium or dark shadow color to line your eyes.
• STEP 2: Use a small, flat, angled brush for the application.
• STEP 3: Stroke the brush over the eye shadow.
• STEP 4: Start at the inside edge of your upper lid. Angle the brush so that the
longest tip follows the shorter end as the brush moves across your lash line. Bring
the brush to the outer corner of the eye.
