What is the best way to apply eyeshadow?

There is a dance coming up at my school and i want my eyeshadow to look good. I have hazel eyes if it helps!!!What is the best way to apply eyeshadow?
This video on how to apply it may help. Have a great time!What is the best way to apply eyeshadow?
First of all, do not use the applicators that come with the eyeshadows. Buy an eyeshadow brush. Maybelline makes eyeshadow quads that have a lid color (apply all over lid), a brow bone highlighter which, you guessed it, you blend onto your brow bone, a contour shade which you blend into your crease, and a darker shade you can use as a powder liner if you want. In that case, you can use the pointy applicator that comes with the eyeshadow. For hazel eyes, which I have, I always go for greens and purples if I want a dramatic look, but all colors look good.
Smear a small amount of vaseline or eyeshadow primer over your lid. Rub your sponge into the eyeshadow you want (purple is nice for hazel eyes) and gently dab it on, so it sticks to the vaseline/whatever





OR





Rub a soft brush/sponge into the eyeshadow, then slowly spread it across, like your painting





Always remember to rub it onto the eyeshadow, don't like, dig it in (Y)
Using your finger is a good way to have control over where you want to put it. It always depends on the color and or multi colors and how dark. You just need a good straight make up brush thats not to big and just apply it from corner of the eye and out. Remember to blend, use a little at first and then get darker, not dark then light, because that doesnt work. Or if you dont want to cover the whole eye, a q-tip works well if you just want to have a line of eyeshadow. Make sure what ever you use, flick the brush or q-tip to get the extra powder off, so it doesnt fall in your eye or on your cheek. Have fun at the dance! ps. a little mascara goes a long way.
I usually use my pinky finger. Those little sponge-stick things they give you are useless. I also like to use an eye shadow brush to apply to my crease. You should go to Walmart and get one of the shadow combos that tells you which colors to apply where. Almay has one especially for hazel eyes. It's three different shades of grey - I love it (I'm hazel too)! Apply the lightest color all the way from your lid to your brow (a color that just about blends with your skin tone), the next darkest to your lid, the next darkest to your crease. I like to add a touch of the lightest color the the inner corner of my eyes. If the inner part of your lid is a little lighter than the rest of the lid it makes your eyes look bigger and set farther apart. But the key is blending.
oh cool, you should use a q-tip. use one side of it, damp with water and apply. then the other side should stay dry and you can put on a second coat with that side. it will make the color stick and look more dramatic, like how the color appears in the case. you can use it around your eyes with precision. also, to make ';smokey'; eyes you can use an angled brush or those covergirl perfectblend eye liner pencils. the consistency of the pencil is rich and the spongey tip on the other end is the most perfect tool for blending. have fun! :)
If you go to http://www.youravon.com/drodcay and then click ';shop by brochure';, and click on the blue Avon brochure, find pages 6-7 or 50-51, they show pictures on how to apply eyeshadow. Lots of great colors to choose from and the Heavenly Soft Eyeshadow Trios are an awesome price!





Hope this helps.
try using natural semi-shiny tones: browns, tans, and cream colors. or if your feeling brave, try purple but not an obnoxious shade. try using a bristle-type brush. start with a base color, a light cream shade for example. apply from lashes to eyebrow. use your darkest color in the crease of your eye, but don't get it too wide. then use another lighter color to apply from the crease to your brows.

I put foundation on underneath as a base to stop the eyeshadow melting or sliding off.


then use a light colour such as cream for the secondary base. Then i use a brown and put the brown in the crease and along the lashline (:
well, to apply eye shadow u gotta use brown first of all. apply the lightest color of brown (a tan color) right under ur eyebrow. then, apply the second darkest color to the lid of ur eye (a regular brown, sorta light but not too much). last, apply the darkest brown to the crevis in between ur lid and the part under ur brow (only do this if around 20 and if ur younger, try it and see if it looks good). last, u can apply the medium brown eye shadow to the side of ur eye.


Hope this advice helps!! ~ xoxo ; p





ps


use ur finger!!!! or use one of those spongey feeling brush ends!!
i have light brow/hazel eyes and purple, and green really make my eyes pop.





use a lighter color for a base nad apply it all the way up to brow bone. then the next color aply over lid then thet darkest color in the crease. use black eyeliner and finish with some waterproof mascara!





HAVE FUN!
hi everyone always admires the way i put my eyeshadow on and i also have hazel eyes. i think a dark greeny colours looks good. first put a creamy colour on your eye lids and then in the outer corners the colour you want and blend the cream into the green. hope i helped =D GOOD LUCK
I believe the best way is to use clean brushes.

i find the best way is to use a brush as opposed to the little sponge most eye shadows come with, like this girl's eyes are a very good example of what you should do http://digitalfuntown.squarespace.com/dft-blog/2008/5/2/dft-news-episode-2.html
The way I do it is cuz my lids tend to get oily sometimes..so I put some loose powder on them and then put on the colour a bit, and then on top of that put on a little bit more powder so it stays on..never liquid eye shadow either obviously, cuz it smudges right off.
There's a cool site that let's you try on different colors and styles of makeup on your own photo. It's taaz.com. You can also try on different hairstyles and colors. Good luck!
i put concealer first.. to hold the shadow.... then i put the lightest color first.... at the crease do a line w/ the darker shade.. and then blend it with the medium shade... gosh did that make any sense? LOL...
Smokey eyes always works..%26amp; it doesn't have to be black! You can do it with the variety of colors that go with whatever you wear! =]
