How to apply shades

One of the key points in the creation of makeup is shadows. With their help, you can easily adjust the eye shape, make an emphasis on the merits and hide the shortcomings, visually increase your eyes and make them more expressive. But you need to know how to apply the shadows right.

Before applying shadows, clean the skin of the face with tonic and put in the eyelid base, a small amount of primer. It will help save the brightness of the color and make it easier to decide. The basis can also serve as a tonal cream or powder.

Choose three shades in one color palette: Blike (the brightest), transitional tone and contour (dark shade). Prepare the tools: a flat wide brush for applying shadows and a dense cone-shaped brush for cutting.

On the entire surface of the century, from the line of eyelashes to the eyebrows, apply the brightest tone and grow it.

Now carefully apply the shadow of the transition shade from an external corner of the eye along the line of the upper eyelid. It is easy to find it, it suffices to find the protruding part of the skull bone under eyebrows. Stress the lower eyelid by the same tint. Shadows apply a couple of millimeters below the line of eyelashes. The inner side of the eye should remain light. Take the shade, trying not to affect the station of the moving century. In the upper eyelid, a combination of tones can be used, the brightest zone should always be near the inner corner of the eyes. Shadows make a movement from eyelashes to the fold of the century.

Dark Tint Draw a small triangle in the corner between the upper eyelashes and the line of folds of the upper eyelid. The plot closer to the nose must remain as light as possible. Well-grade shadows so that the transition between three shades was almost impaired. The triangle shape and the design method allows you to adjust the size and shape of the eyes.

For greater expressiveness of the view, apply light shadows under eyebrows, in the place of its bending and in the inner corner of the eyes. You can use pearl shades.

Matte shadows are used both for daily makeup and special occasions. They are easily chosen and allow making makeup more natural. Mask small skin defects and mimic wrinkles. Pearl shadows are more suitable for evening makeup. They are brighter and used in combination with matte. Stress out minor wrinkles around the eyes, it is worth paying attention to it.

Shadows can be applied in two ways.

Dry applying. Apply a dry tassel. Uniformly and smoothly distribute them. Scattered particles do not wipe, but remove a slightly wet cloth.
Wet application. Before dialing dry shadows, slightly moisten the applicator with water, such makeup will be brighter and resistant.

Of particular importance is the right choice of the color of the shadows. It depends on the color of the eye of hair and clothing. It is important to remember that the selected shade should not fully coincide with the color of the iris:

Brown eyes will benefitly emphasize the entire gamma of brown, purple, purple, plum, some green shades. In pearl shades, you can use golden, white, copper.
