EYE SHADOW APPLICATIONS
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A BASE COLOR AND WHY??
The
purpose of this color is to add highlights to the brow bone and the lid - the
two areas that "catch light." However, this color also does more. It
acts like a foundation - to smooth and add a good finish. Eye shadows that are
slightly lighter than your skin tone will look the most believable, and there
are plenty to choose from. Experiment with many, especially if your used to
just choosing an off-white one.
AFTER CHOOSING MY BASE COLOR, WHAT
COLOR WOULD I USE NEXT?
After the
base color, you'll want to choose a contour color. It should be dark enough to
look like a shadow - noticeable, not obvious. For a natural look, choose colors
such as brown, taupe, beige and off-whites.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE THE LOOK?
After the
base color, you'll want to choose a contour color. It should be dark enough to
look like a shadow - noticeable, not obvious. For a natural look, choose colors
such as brown, taupe, beige and off-whites.
HOW DO I GET A SMOKEY NEUTRAL EFFECT?
Use smoky,
neutral shades such as slate, charcoal gray, and off-whites such as moonstone.
HOW DO YOU APPLY SHADOWS WET?
For
smooth application of wet eye shadow, dampen the brush, mix with the shadow and
brush on color as desired. The wetter the brush, the softer the effect. After
applying each shade, blend well using a blending brush. This same procedure
works especially well when you apply shadow wet as an eyeliner. Follow the same
procedures using an eyeliner brush.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON THE LOOK THAT BEST FITS YOUR EYES?
There are
two things to consider as far as your eyes are concerned. One is their
placement, and the other has to do with the eyelids themselves. Evaluate your
eyes from both perspectives. Then decide which, if either, characteristic
predominates. Certain eye makeup techniques will draw attention to the
placement of your eyes, while others will minimize it. It all depends on how
you want to look. The second thing you need to consider is your eyelid. Since
that's where most of the color goes, it's really a question of how much or how
little of your eyelid shows when your eyes are open. Prominent, or very
noticeable, lids are the extreme on one end of the spectrum; hooded (or hidden)
lids, on the other end.
AVERAGE EYES
They are
the width of one eye apart. The lids are well proportioned; the distance
between the lash line and crease just above the pupil is about one-third the
distance between the lash line and brow. If your eyes fit this description, you
have all sorts of flexibility.
WIDE SET EYES
They are
more than the width of an eye apart. This characteristic is fairly easy to
spot, but if you want to be sure, measure the space between your tear ducts. If
it's more than 3cm, your eyes are wide set.
CLOSE SET EYES
These
eyes are less than the width of one eye apart.
DEEP SET EYES
These
eyes have a recessed appearance - there's a fairly noticeable shadow, or
pocket, on the inside corners of your eyes or a recess below the brow bone.
PROMINENT LIDS
These are
very noticeable. When the eyes themselves protrude, the lids can take an almost
heavy appearance. Prominent eyelids are also characteristic of some deep set
eyes.
HOODED LIDS
These are
ones where the skin from above the crease droops over the crease and hides the
eyelid.
ORIENTAL EYES
These
eyes appear as though they have little or no eyelids - at least not when the
eyes are open. The brow bone also tends to be flat, giving this area extra
prominence.

I WEAR GLASSES FULL TIME, HOW DO I USE EYE MAKEUP?
If your
glasses come down over your cheekbones, try adding a thicker line to your
lashes and try 2 coats of mascara, not one. That should help balance it out.
