How to apply Eyeshadow - For Makeup Beginners!

Eyeshadow is a great way to emphasize your eyes and create some really pretty looks. Most shadows come in powder format in little pots without any instructions. With so many different colours and brushes, it can be difficult to know where to start when applying eyeshadow. Here are the instructions on how to apply eyeshadow for makeup beginners.


Step 1: You will need a minimum of three colours to achieve a pretty eyeshadow look. Choose three shades in the same colour family; one very sheer, one with medium tone and one dark colour.

Step 2: Begin with the sheer shade. This will be used as a wash over over the entire eyelid. Neutrals are best for this purpose. Sweep the colour over the entire eyelid all the way to your brows using a flat eyeshadow brush.

Step 3: Next use the medium shade. Apply it only to the lid using a tapered brush and stop when you reach the crease. This colour should fill the space between your lashline and the crease.

Step 4: Finally, use the darkest colour. This colour should be applied sparingly. Remember, you can always add more but if you start out with too much your look will be ruined. Using an angled brush, apply this colour into the crease and then extend it slightly past the outer corner of your eye using a light sweeping motion.

Step 5: Blend, blend and blend some more. This is the most important step to achieving a natural look. Use a big, soft blending brush and brush in an outward motion from the inside corner towards the outside corner of each eye.

Step 6: To tie the whole look together, you can take the darkest colour and use it to line your lower lashline. A wet eyeliner brush can transform dark eyeshadow into a great eyeliner.
