Get a more attractive look with eye shadows
When we put makeup on our face, we do it because we want to highlight our facial features , so that they have more presence. To achieve perfectly made-up eyes , the use of eye shadows is essential.
By applying eyeshadow, we can highlight our eyes by giving them a touch of color. In this way, we can highlight our gaze and bring out our most seductive side.
The texture of eye shadows is usually soft for easy application and solid so that it does not slide once the product is applied. Through shadows, we can create different effects to emphasize and favor our look.
Types of eye shadows
When choosing the eye shadow we want to apply, we must know the type of eye we have and the color of our iris. It is also important to know the effect we want to create on our eyes, since each product creates a different image. If we look at the texture of the product we can find:
- Compact eyeshadow powder : This is the most common type and the easiest to apply. It is recommended for people with oily skin and lasts less time than other textures.
- Cream eyeshadow : This is the texture that lasts the longest on the skin. Its texture is suitable for all skin types, except oily skin. They are ideal for long days, but they can deteriorate over time.
- Eyeshadow pencil : the pencil format, like the cream, is easy to apply and lasts a long time. With its use we can create many effects on the look.
- Water-based eyeshadow: These types of eyeshadow last a long time on the skin, but are harder to blend because they dry very quickly. They are perfect for highlighting and intensifying our look.
- Loose powder or pigment eyeshadow: they provide a lot of luminosity to our eyes. As they are a very light texture, they can move over time and stain the area around the eyes.
When choosing the eye shadow we are going to use, we must choose the color that best matches the color of our eyes, since a great contrast can cause the opposite effect to the desired one.
The way we apply eye makeup will also determine the final result . If we have eyes that are too far apart and we want to create an effect to counteract this, we can do so by applying eye shadow on the inner part of the eye near the nasal septum. In the opposite case of having eyes that are too close together, if we apply the shadow on the outer part of the eye, we will also counteract this effect. In the same way that if we have drooping eyelids, by applying eyeliner towards the end of the eyebrow we will manage to reduce drooping eyes, enhancing the look.
Colours also play a fundamental role in creating effects on the eyes. Lighter tones provide luminosity and greater presence to the eyes. While darker colours cause the opposite effect, providing depth.
How to apply eyeshadow
The application of eyeshadow will be different depending on the final effect we want to create and the texture of the product, but there are a series of essential steps for its application:
- For a correct application of eye shadow, it is recommended to use four different colors. The first has to be a neutral color tone, the second should be the main color of the makeup, then a dark tone to highlight the look and finally a color that helps us illuminate. We should spread the main color over the entire eyelid, the dark color in the outer area over the eye bone and the lighter color in the tear duct area. Following these steps, we will highlight our look and it will have more presence.
- If we use an eye primer before using eye shadow, we will make the makeup last longer.
- To spread the product on the skin, you must use a brush or a paintbrush. Suitable. Flat, stiff brushes are used to apply the main colour to the eyelid. The rounded tip brush is ideal for blending and distributing the colour. The pencil brush is perfect for spreading the shadow on the outer part of the eye.
- We should apply the shadow with soft touches on the eyelid. But we can also do it with short brush movements in the same direction.
