What you should know about eye shadows

Eye shadow add depth and dimension to your eye and draws attention. It also complements your eye color and it may even enhance it too. It is always better to practice application of your eye color before a special event to see how it is going to shape the finish look. Also, practice will help you to master the application of color.

Blending
Select a lighter base and brush your entire eye. Then apply lid color and then the highlighter.

Matt vs. Shimmer
Matt is simple yet sophisticated. Use a deep brown matt in the crease of the eye to create a sculptured eye. Shimmer reflects light and brightens your eye. Use a natural color for daytime and brighter shimmer shade for nighttime.

Match the color of your eye
Experts advise against shades of blue, but if you have blue eyes, blue will brighten your eyes.

Consider other colors you are using
Color of your lips may play a role in enhancing your eye shadow. Also pay attention to nail color and coordinate colors for an overall appearance.

Use appropriate tools
Use your finger when needed. Have your brush and cotton swabs within reach when you are applying eye shadow.
