How to do eye shadow makeup

There has always been a lot of doubt about the use of eyeshadows in makeup without leaving the look outdated or even tacky. A good way out is to use a shadow duo, of which the colors are always in harmony.

Usually the duos bring a light color and a darker color, never to make mistakes in the elaboration of the make, always apply the lighter shadow in the inner corner of the eyes (eyelid), leaving the dark one to the outer corner. To make the application, use the sponge brush that comes with the cartridge (applicator brush), as it is unlikely that the shadow will detach from the brush and compromise the finish of the skin below the eyes.

After applying the shadow, try to make a gradient in the middle of the eyelid. Remember that makeup gets sophisticated as the gradient in the middle of the eyelid gets well done. Smoke the transfer line so as not to make make checked. Ready! Is there anything simpler than working with a shadow duo and making it look amazing?


There are also trio options, which always have an intermediate color, one dark and one illuminating, which is the lightest of them all. The use is the same, that is, leave the intermediate color for the inner corner of the eyes, the dark for the outer and the lighter, illuminating, under the eyebrows, which raises the eye and illuminates the face.

The quartets have two intermediate colors, in addition to a dark shadow and the illuminator. The two intermediate colors are for varying looks, so you can create your makeup every day with the same quartet. The basic rule remains: always leave the light color in the inner corner of your eyes! Note that the colors of a shadow quartet are always in harmony, so it is difficult to make a mistake when making a make. If you have more skill, you can mix colors and effects.

How to match the colors?

A great tip to never go wrong when choosing shade colors: for dark and black skins, prefer warm colors like pink, copper, gold, etc. For light skin, cool colors like blue, purple and green look much better. Of course makeup is art and so you can put that rule aside from time to time and dare in creativity!
