Eye shadow Guide

The eye shadow you choose should flatter and enhance your eye colour and the shape of your eyes, as well as your whole appearance. The skin colour, the eye colour, and day or night should also be considered when choosing and using eye shadow. Always harmonise the colour of the eyeshadow with that of your skin and your eyes. Whatever the colour, it should be blended in well, so that there are no harsh lines. Aim for the natural look

Techniques of applying eye shadow shades
1. Using a soft shadow brush, gently apply the base colour to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.
2. If the eyes need extra definition, a deeper shade is blended into the crease line. This gives depth to the eyes.
3.The brow bone is highlighted with a light shade. This gives the eyes a wide, open look. The colour is applied to the most prominent area and blended up towards the brow and down to where the contour curves down, toward the eyelid creases.
Before using them on the lids, always test the colours on the back of the hand to test the intensity. You can use even 3-4 colours, provided they are blended well. Remember pale tones emphasize, while deep sooty shades define.

Different Eye Shapes

Almond shaped eyes This is the perfect eye shape, and easy to make-up. Apply lighter shade from lash to brow. Medium shade on lid. Dark shadow on outer third of lid. Generous coats of mascara for lashes, comb well.

Round eyes  To make them appear more almond-shaped, use light-toned shadow all over top lid, darker in entire crease. Line top and bottom lid, extend liner out and up at end. Mascara for top lashes only, more on outer half.

Small eyes To enhance small eyes line upper and lower (never inside). Use pale, shimmery, eye shadow. Curl lashes. Apply a medium-toned shadow to the crease. Use a light coloured liner the top and bottom lash lines, extending the top line across the entire lash line and the bottom line from just under the iris to the outer corner. Sweep black mascara on upper lashes. Apply light shadow on the eyelids. Apply more intense shades in the creases.
