Eyeshadow
For many women, getting into mom’s eye shadow is their first chance to apply make-up—sometimes to laughable results! Without knowledge of how to select proper eyeshadow shades or how to wield an eye shadow brush, many little girls are attracted to mom’s most vibrant violet eye shadow, which they then apply from lash line to eyebrow! It can seem like young girls are born knowing that eye shadow is a great way to bring attention to one’s eyes. However, it is important to learn how to use eye shadow correctly so you are getting the right kind of attention!
The first step in learning how to apply eye shadow is to take an honest look at your eye color. Your eye color plays a big role in the eye shadow shades you select. Brown eyed women have a range of options available to them, as any color will bring out their beautiful eye color. Blue-eyed women will find that rich, warm shades of brown and peach will do the most to bring attention to their eyes. Women with green or hazel eyes should experiment with golden browns, taupes, soft peaches, and shades of violet and purple. If you are one of those rare women with grey eyes, give charcoal, brown or purple a try. Along with your eye color, your skin tone will also influence which shades and tones you choose. Finding the right shade is easier than ever today as many brands are now marketing eye shadows based on the buyer’s eye color.
Along with choosing the best colors and shades to highlight your eyes, you must also choose between powder, mineral and cream eye shadows. Probably the most easily accessible form of eye shadow is powder. Powder can provide a finished, matte look but women with dry skin should be careful. Powder eyeshadow can also look floury on dry skin. Mineral eye shadow is a powder that comes in a loose form. Today, mineral make up also refers to make up that is 100% natural and made of pure minerals. Mineral eye shadow is excellent for anyone looking for an eco-friendly eye shadow. Mineral eye shadow gives a softer, more see-through coverage than powder or cream shadows. Cream eye shadow provides a more natural feeling coverage but also provides a more satiny finish than powder or mineral eye shadows. For the best of both worlds, you can also try a cream to powder eye shadow that will give you the smooth application of a cream with the matte finish of a powder.
The proper applicator can also make a big difference in the finished look. Powder and mineral eye shadows are typically applied with an eye shadow brush, while creams are best applied with a sponge. Again, many brands will supply the applicator as part of the eye shadow set.
Whatever shades or types of eye shadow you choose, you should have no trouble finding the perfect eye shadow to give you the standout eyes you have always desired. So, pretend you are a little girl getting into your mom’s makeup and try out some of today’s great new options!
