Then use a dark eye shadow to draw the eye shadow from the root of the eyelashes in thirds. That is, divide the part from the eyeliner to the eye socket into thirds. The eye shadow closest to the eyeliner is the darkest, and the color gradually fades upwards.

2. Small inverted hook eyeshadow method

Choose a darker eye shadow and blend it along the crease of both eyelids from the end of the eye to the beginning of the eye. Blend the color from dark to light until it disappears at 1/3 or 2/3 of the eyelid. What needs to be noted during the drawing process is that the area of ​​eye shadow blending should not be too large. A clear dividing line can be left below the double eyelid crease, but the upper part must be blended.

3. Forward movement method

The method of applying forward-moving eye shadow is to focus the entire eye shadow on the inner corner of the eye, and then blend it towards the bridge of the nose, eye socket, and end of the eye with the inner corner of the eye as the center, using different shades of eye shadow to create a sense of layering. The forward-shifting eyeshadow method can help bring the two eyes closer together, and is suitable for people whose eyes are far apart.

4. Backward Shift

It is also commonly used in some fashion makeup. The method of applying backward-shifting eyeshadow is mainly to use the eyeshadow at the end of the eye and extend it backward along the arc of the eye when the eyes are closed to blend it, and the color gradually fades and disappears. Its most significant effect is to lengthen the eye shape and visually increase the distance between the eyes. It is suitable for people whose eyes are close together.
