How to Apply Eye-shadow Makeup?
Now that we have some idea on the different types of eyeshadow available, let us learn more on how to apply eyeshadow step by step. The following instructions on how to apply eyeshadow step by step will prove to be very helpful.

Begin by applying an eyeshadow base, concealer or foundation over your eyelid. These makeup products are very useful in keeping the eyeshadow in place, so that it lasts long, all day. Also the base helps reveal the true colors of the eyeshadow and helps it hold on to something without fading away.

You should choose a damp flat tipped brush to apply the powder eyeshadow evenly. Blend the base color with a large brush. For lighter colors use a smaller brush. You should sweep the lightest shade over the entire eyelid. It should be swept from the lash line to the brow line that helps create a smudge resistant base.

Once you complete the application of the base and light eyeshadow shade, apply the second color on the lower lid and blend it with the base color. The color should cover the entire lid, just above the crease. When you load the brush, remember to tap off the excess powder before application.

When you want to apply a third color, you should choose a dark color that is applied along the lash line and outer corners of the eyes with a damp brush. You should blend it slightly into the medium color and create depth.

You can add shimmer to highlight your eyes for a night party. Blend the hard edges to create a perfect look.

You can add an outline to your eyes by applying an eyeliner on the outer side of the upper and lower lids. You can tapper a bit on the outside of the eye to create an elongated look.
