beginner's guide to eye makeup from using primers picking brushes choosing eye shadows application methods and fun tips and tricks let's start with primer primer helps our I chose to last longer and prevents the oils from creasing up our shadows or you could use your concealer or foundation as a base and set it with a little bit of powder to keep it
lasting longer it's kind of the old fashioned way I showed has come in different textures tones and shades it can be kind of confusing but you really only need three to four shades to create a basic look firstly a highlighter which should be at least one shade lighter than your skin you can also use your facial highlighter which is a great way to bring your look together one matte mid-tone this will help to blend out your eye makeup softly try using a matte bronzer if you can't
find one and a contour shade this should be at least two to three shades darker than your skin tone and this will add shape and shadow you can also have a matte black eye shadow which can be used in tones of different ways / brushes I like to have three to four or two in my case because they're double-ended firstly a flat brush for applying eyeshadows and pigments when you're using this brush glide it over the shadow or press lightly to pick it up a small smudger brush
for detailed work but this is optional most importantly a blending brush this is soft and fluffy when using this lightly dip the tip of the brush in the shadow and finally my favorite go-to brush this is kind of flat at the base but blends right at the tip begin with a flat brush and your lightest eyeshadow if you pick up too much tap off the excess never blow on your brushes it's on hygienic start right at the inner corner of the lid this is where we want the concentration of the product to be and you can then blend it across the lid here's a fun trick dampen the tip of your brush but don't soak it and brush off
any excess and then pick up a little bit of product don't worry it won't ruin your eyeshadow apply it as normal but I'm focusing on the inner corner and you can see how it really shimmers and shines it's really fun take the flat brush again and a little highlighter and Pat this underneath the arch of your brows I don't like it to be too shimmery so I gently wipe to remove any excess next take your fluffy blending brush on your mid-tone keep your eyes open for this blend above
the crease starting on the outer corner and work inwards this time if you aren't sure where to stop blending place your brush on the edge of your nose and up towards the edge of your eye to create an imaginary line everything below this needs to be kept clear so blend your eyeshadows inwards to this point next up is contouring remember to keep the shadow at the very tip of the brush and start from the outer corner and blend into the crease on the outer half of the eye your mid-tone is always higher than your contour so it's important not to blend this up too high go back in with your
clean mid-tone blending brush to soften the edges but you shouldn't need to reapply for underneath the eye I'm going to use that same flat brush just gonna wipe it clean taking a mixture of the mid-tone and the contour I'm gonna sweep this underneath my eye right on that outer corner to meet that highlight you can also join this to that outer edge to darken the look I'm going to take a little bit of that black with the same brush and apply it on the outer edge keep it as close to the lash line as possible then sweep it slightly underneath complete this look by curling your
eyelashes and adding some mascara when using mascara a big mistake we all can make is by pumping it this only pushes air inside and causes it to dry out quicker apply mascara right at the roots and wiggle out towards the tip if you always end up with mascara on your skin use a mascara shield or a piece of card soon you'll be adding things like liner and lashes to completely look it all just takes practice as fun
