How To Choose Eyeshadow | Create Perfect, Beautiful Looking Eyes With Model Girl Beauty Tips

You should choose your eyeshadow color to complement your eyes and your skin tone. You should never ever apply a bright color all over the lids up to the brow. ( remind you of Barbara Cartland, the novelist.)

Well, she could get away with outrageous blue eyeshadow because she was a delightful eccentric)

However, most people are not eccentrics and just need to enhance their natural coloring.

Don't forget that during daylight hours bright colors can look garish. You want to make your eyes look bigger not smaller.

So now we've got that out of the way, let's get on with choosing the right type of shadow and the right shade.

Eyeshadow comes in powder, cream or pencil. I have tried everything but now prefer shadow, mainly because of its application speed but also it doesn't smear IF DONE CORRECTLY.

Eyeshadow Colors

For most people, brown/beige rarely goes wrong. It is the one color that's always in fashion, although blues, greens and violets are very appealing and have their say in the fashion stakes.

You should try to emphasize your natural eye color.

Right, you've chosen your color which, if powder, often comes in 3 - 4 toning shades and now you're ready to begin.

Make sure that your eyelids are prepared. If using a foundation crÃ¨me, apply to eyelids, then dust with either a loose or compact powder. This will provide a good base and will prevent creasing of the shadow. I use mineral powder.

Then with a good eyeshadow brush, sweep the pale shade across your lids.

I, personally, never take the shadow up to the brow because I think that unless its very pale it will show too much and I prefer a more natural look. But that's me, perhaps I'm dated.

In the crease

Here is where you want definition. If you prefer, use a smaller brush, but I use one brush for the whole lot. Apply a darker shade to the crease. Blend gently with the brush into the base color. Do not use your finger or you will smudge everything.

I still make mistakes when applying eyeshadow but all you have to do is clean it off and start again.
