How to apply eye shadow {basics}


Eyeshadow, contrary to popular belief, can be tricky to apply to last. With the right techniques and tools, eyeshadow can be applied at 7 in the morning and last until 7 in the evening, or even longer.
1. Prime your lids with Please Hold Eye Primer. This step will help keep your eyeshadow vibrant on your eyelid, not dull on your cheeks as the day goes on. Apply your primer with either a makeup sponge or clean fingers. Blend it in from your lash line into your brow bone.
2. Apply a neutral color first, such as peach, beige, or light brown. Apply to lid. 
3. Apply a slightly darker color to the crease. Keep it on your crease, and don't extend it upward. For a more bold look, use bolder colors. Make sure the colors go well with your eye color. 
4. Apply your other eye makeup. Take care not to get mascara or eyeliner on your eyeshadow. If this does happen, a dry cotton swab on the spot and gently twisted should remove the makeup with minimal smudging. 

1. Prime your eyelids as previously mentioned. 
2. Rub your fingertip or a makeup sponge in the cream shadow. Gently dab the cream onto your eyelid, and blend it evenly. Avoid having deposits of color all over your lid by using the pad of your ring finger to gently dispense the color evenly. 
3. Dust a translucent poweder or matching eye shadow color on top. This sets the cream to prevent it from sliding off your eyelids. Using a larger, looser brush than a regular eyeshadow brush will prevent color 'deposits' by evenly dusting the powder across the lids.
