Creating the perfect eyeshadow look can be both fun and transformative. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you perfect your eyeshadow technique:
1. Prime Your Eyelids
Start with a clean, dry eyelid. Apply an eyeshadow primer or a concealer to the lid to create a smooth base and help your eyeshadow last longer. This step prevents creasing and helps the color pop.
2. Choose Your Eyeshadow Colors
Pick shades that complement your eye color, outfit, or desired look. Start with neutral shades for a simple, everyday look, or experiment with bolder colors for something more dramatic. Typically, you’ll need:
- A transition shade (usually a light brown or soft neutral)
- A lid shade (a color to cover the eyelid, can be matte, shimmer, or metallic)
- A darker shade (to deepen the crease and outer corners)
- A highlight shade (to brighten the inner corners or brow bone)
