How To Shape Your Eyeshadow

There are certain people who have used the same makeup style for a long while, not because it’s the favorite, but because it’s the only one they know how to do and they do not have enough time to buy new makeup for them.

Maybe it’s just one shadow applied to whole lid, maybe two shadows mixed together from the middle of the lid, or something similar.

This post will give you some ideas of how to use you darker shadows differently!

There are many types of eyeshadow that you can apply. But first we will talk about the basic thing of using eyeshadow. So this will explain how to apply eyeshadow for beginners.

It is just a basic method and real easy to learn with practice.

The picture below shows the basic layout that will be explained below:

1. This is "below your browbone" it is where you will highlight with lighter shades of eyeshadow

such as white and creams

2. This is your "inner corner" you can also highlight here to give eyes an open and refreshed look 

3. This is the "crease" you will apply a darker eyeshadow here to make your eye look more defined and provide more dimension to the eye.

4. This is the "lid" you will apply the main color you want to show here 

5. This is the "outer corner" or "outer V" you will apply your darkest eyeshadow here it will give your eye a more "cat eye" appearance or a more "almond shape". Put blend between the highlight and crease because you will blend your crease up towards your highlight to give it a more blended smoother look. 

Blending is important when applying makeup! YOU DO NOT WANT UGLY LINES!

This is just the general/basic eyeshadow application.

Maybelline has affordable eyeshadow quads out now for about $5, you can pick them up at any store like Guardian and 7-Eleven shop. It comes with 4 great eyeshadows and it even has lid,crease,browbone, or outer corner placed on the eyeshadow so you know where to put which color!

This is also a great item to pick up if your just learned to put some gorgeous makeup. Hopefully, every little thing that you do will produce a bigger thing.
