Tips on applying eye shadow
Here are some guidelines that you can follow while applying eye shadow, these enhance the distinct shape and beauty of the eyes. We need to start by defining the eye shape which can be almond, narrow or round and size – whether you have large or small lid area with a clearly defined crease or is it flat with no marked crease.
Traditionally the tips followed while applying eye shadow are these:
For almond-shaped eyes with a distinct crease, place the deepest tone on the outer edge of the lid and half way up into the crease, keep the inner half of the lid lighter.
If you have narrow-shaped eyes with a small crease and want to use dark tones, keep them very close to the lash line, and consider highlighting under the brow bone.
For round-shaped eyes, keep the deepest tone toward the center of the eye blending upward from lid to crease.
For large lids, graduate tones, startine with a liner, then filling in with color to create depth.
For small lids, keep tones light, or you’ll tend to close up the area and make eyes look smaller.
For eyes with no visible crease, try a deep shadow across the entire lid, then play with a fabulous midnight-blue or shiny black mascara.
