Your choice of eye shadow dramatically defines the appearance of your eyes. Eye shadow can enhance the color of your iris; soften or intensify your regard with sheer matte or rich shimmery textures; or transform the perceived shape of your eyes with shading and highlighting. Applying eye shadow can be a little tricky. But it needn't be if you know the tricks involved.
1) Before you start, powder eyelid with a moistened brush and a little face powder. This will help to prevent your shadow from melting.
2) Choose three shades in the same color family - light, medium and a darker shade for contras.
3) Apply the lightest shade on the entire lid from brow to lash line.
4) The medium shade is going to bring out the color of your eyes. Apply from lash line to just above the crease.
5) The darkest color is going to be applied close to the lashes. Dampen the brush and then pick up a little color. Distort it in around the lash base.
Use a touch of gold shadow on the brow bone to make your eyes look even brighter. You can use powder or one of those fat pencils. Pearly shades are great for highlighting the brow bone and opening up the eye area.
