2) Lighter colors like pink......What is the best way to apply eyeshadow ??
The lighter colors can be used heavier and higher on the eye without looking bad. you want to make sure that you dont go all the way to your eyebrown, but depending on the look you are going for, make sure to have the outside of the eyes shadow higher up towards the brow bone.





For darker colors, always use the lighter of the colors on the inside of the eye. and the darker ones on the outside, to help you blend properly, make sure to use a base (like tan or a see through shimmer). Start with the light color and do one swoop of color from the inside of the eye all the way to the outside. The get the darker color and start from the outside and come about 1/4 of the way into the center...make it dark and then do the light color up to the dark again (it wont be blended yet) then what you will do is take an eye brush (looks like a blush brush but smaller) and go from the inside to the outside (so that the lighter color goes over the darker) and brush do this about 4 times, then do one light brush the opposite way (dark to light) it should be blended right now. Make sure that the darker color goes all the way up to the crease of your eyes, the lighter color should be slightly below the crease. (remember to line your eyes first)





Another thing to remember is when you are looking at these dark eyes, they arent really using black, they are using a charcoal grey with very little hints of black.. so make sure you are looking at the right colors





Good colors to use are


lt purple, drk purple and charcoal (do the same blending but have dark purple in the middle)


lit purple and charcoal (not black almost like a steel grey)


blue and black or charcoal


hot pinkk and charcoal.What is the best way to apply eyeshadow ??
Professionals say the best way to apply most make up is with brushes. Put your medium color on the eyelid, your highlighter color on the upper lid between your actual lid and your eyebrow, then with a brush take the color darker than the medium that's on the lid and slightly close the eye and brush inward from the outside just where they bone indents into the eyelid. You can then slightly brush the actual eyelid on the inner and outer corners too but don't take it over the middle.





The same rule applies for your lighter pinky colors. Pick the dark, medium and highlighter colors and apply with the same directions as above. I have many make up books by artists such as Bobbie Brown and Kevin Aucion if you'd like more info from me you can click my face and email me. I love make up. I'll be glad to help you.

Maybelline has a goof-proof eyeshadow quad available now that is labeled where it goes (lid, corner, crease, eyebrow bone). It comes with those sponge tip applicator things but I use brushes to get a better effect.
