How can I apply shimmery eyeshadow properly WITHOUT looking like a drag queen?

Every time I put shimmer eyeshaow on I end up looking like a badly dresses drag queen.





Am I doing something wrong?





And also, how do you use eyelash curlers, without burning my eyelashed...

Thanks xHow can I apply shimmery eyeshadow properly WITHOUT looking like a drag queen?
Apply less to the bottom portion of your eyelid. Dont take it all the way to the top of the eyelid because that's too much! Put a color there that matches your eye lid color. Also adding shimmery colors just to the corners of the eye is SeXy too :O)How can I apply shimmery eyeshadow properly WITHOUT looking like a drag queen?
just put it on your eyelid dont put it up to your eyebrows
Try using a sheen product instead of a real shimmer. And make sure it is in a shade that complements your skin tone like a champagne or a light gold. But it right under your brow bone and blend it down into the other colors. Blend, blend, blend.
go to ';you tube'; and type in ';how to apply shimmery eye shadow'; its actually really easy.. never put it above where the eye crease is.. only where the eyeball lays ..and move with the shape of your eyes.. play with your makeup a bit its fun and u will be surprised u will look good!
You're actually using shimmery eyeshadow, not glittery, right?





Maybe if you try something close to your skin tone, it won't end up looking that way. You sound like you're doing everything right, though.





You don't have to buy the eyelash curlers that heat up. There are just plain, metal and plastic ones. Just make sure you use it for a few seconds and BEFORE you apply mascara.





Good luck.
are you putting the eyeshadow all the way up to your brows?


just put a little on the lid above your lashes.


and if that doesnt work, maybe shimmer eyeshadow just isnt your thing. try a matte shadow without shimmer, its a much more grown up look anyways.


or.. try putting the shimmer just in the corners of your eyes to give it a little bit of shine but not overwhelming.


and try an eyelash curler that doesnt heat up. the plain metal ones work really well.
put it along the edge of ur eye like where the eye lashes are and in the courner of ur eye, less is more!
