How to apply eye shadow for beginners

There are actually two reasons why beginners are afraid of applying eye shadow: one is that they don’t know how to apply it, and the other is that they think applying it will make them uglier. For beginners who want to learn how to apply eye shadow, it is very important to master the steps of eye shadow application, and on this basis, continuously improve the eye shadow application technique through continuous practice and training. Usually for beginners who are learning to apply eye shadow, it is easy to not grasp the range of eye shadow, which makes the eye makeup always look weird.

1. How to apply eye shadow for beginners

Step 1: Choose eye makeup with less obvious pigmentation

What beginners fear most is applying too heavy a touch, causing the color to be too dark, or not being able to control the range of the eyeshadow, making the eye makeup look weird. As a novice in eye makeup, you should be very careful when choosing the color. Focus on choosing eyeshadow with less obvious pigmentation. Even if you apply too much or apply too large or small an area, it can be easily corrected.

The second step of eye makeup: use the lightest eye shadow as a base

In recent years, the single-color eye makeup method has become outdated. The newest and most fashionable method is to use layering techniques to create gradient eye shadow. First, pick out the lightest eyeshadow in your eyeshadow palette (it can be 2-3 single-color eyeshadow cakes, or a multi-color eyeshadow palette), and apply it to a large area on the upper eyelid and the area around the lower eye to brighten the eyes and make them look lively.

Step 3 of eye makeup: Use the second darkest color to fill in the double eyelid folds

Then choose the second darkest eye shadow and slowly fill the double eyelid folds. In order to avoid the eye shadow being covered by the double eyelids, the tip for applying eye shadow is to follow the principle of "small amounts and multiple times". Pay attention to yourself in the mirror while applying, and then slowly push the eye shadow out until you are satisfied.

Step 4: Create a gradient eye makeup with the darkest eyeshadow

Apply the darkest eyeshadow from the center of the eyelid to the end of the eye to create a gradient eye makeup.

The second step of eye makeup: lightly apply light-colored eye shadow around the eye sockets, that is, on the upper and lower eyelids, to increase the brightness of the pupils.

2. Avoid the five minefields of eye shadow application

1. Before applying eye shadow, open your eyes and look straight at the mirror. Don't lower or raise your head. Only by looking straight can you better grasp the extension direction and range of the eye shadow.

2. The color of the eye shadow is gradient, highlighting the three-dimensional sense of the eyes. Light and bright colors are dotted on the eye corners and brow bones, and dark colors are emphasized on the eye tails, which has a lifting effect.

3. Blending is important. Never allow gaps in the eye shadow colors.

4. When applying eye shadow, do not use a light sweeping method. It is best to use a pressing method to apply color.

5. If you want to enhance the eye socket contour, you can apply dark eye shadow on the double eyelid fold line.
