Use eyeshadow as eyeliner

Apply your usual eyeliner. Take the thin eyeshadow brush or the eyebrows brush. Wet the brush and pick up the eyeshadow. Apply eyeshadow right over the eyeliner line and in the corner of your eyes. Now you have a new luxurious image! If you are brave enough then try this method with light eyeshadow colors. Bright fuchsia or lime colors create really cool looks, especially for exciting and fun parties!

Brighten your eyelid

Pick up any color in metallic shade and apply to the inner corner of eyes, close to the nose, and just below the eyebrow line. Eyelid itself can be coated with any color. You can even leave it natural, without the color!

Color the entire eyelid with eyeshadow

Try applying the eyeshadow in a different way. Apply color not strickly to the moving part of the eyelid. Pick any color and use it to cover the entire surface of the eyelid, up to the eyebrow line. Apply with constant saturation. You will get this year’s hot fall image!

Three eyeshadow colors

It is easy to diversify your make-up by using three eyeshadow colors at once. You can buy a three-color palette or use your own imagination to mix colors. Apply the lightest color to the entire eyelid (from the eyelashes line to the eyebrow line). Apply the darker color to the moving part of the eyelid, and the darkest color goes to the innermost fold.

Two eyeshadow colors

This method can be used for work make-up. Apply lighter color under the eyebrow line and inner corners of eyes, and darker color on the moving part of the eyelid.

Experiment with your application technique

You can apply your eyeshadow with a dry applicator today. Tomorrow – use the moist one, and the day after tomorrow try applying the same eyeshadow on top of your foundation.

Take a break from eyeshadows

Arrange an eyeshadow-free day. Many women are surprised by how nice the skin on their eyelids looks without color. Its a new image as well!

Eye Shadow To Match Your Eyes

If you notice the glamorous and beautiful faces of the majority of celebrities you will notice that they seem to have eyes that simply draw your attention leaving you hypnotized by their shining eye colour, be it blue, brown or green. This is all the magic of make-up, highlighting eyes with eye shadow shades complementing the eye colour. Do not underestimate the difference eye shadow can make as Charlotte Tilbury says, "Choosing the right eye shadow for your eye colour can have a huge impact on your whole look."

If you have deep brown eyes then most eye shadow colours will suit you. This season bright blues and teals are in vogue especially if it has a metallic finish. Brush highlighter shade in the inside corners of your eyes to give instant lift and finish with mascara.

If you have blue eyes, then the wrong shade of eye shadow can leave eyes looking grey or worse, ‘blue eyes should avoid any pinky-toned eye shadows as they will make the whites of the eyes look red,' says Laura Martin. Opt for peaches gold eye shadow with a brown tinge for the uplifting edge you want.

If you have green eyes which are precious and rare. "Rich purples and violets look just incredible on green eyes and make them sparkle with life," says Charlotte Tilbury. "Try a purple eye shadow that can be built up for a more dramatic look which can be blended together to create a lighter or brighter eye, and can even be blended with eye pencil in Black to create a smoky eye that will make green eyes especially striking. Simply sweep the pencil along the top and bottom lashes and smudge with a cotton bud, don't worry if you are not confident using deeper shades as the eyetouch colours will always blend perfectly."

If you have those beautiful hazel eye that seems to differ in intensity of green or brown depending on the light then expert Ariane Poole says, "Black and charcoal eye shadow looks great on such eye colours."
