I never wear eyeshadow b/c I just don't understand how to match the darn colors. My cousin taught me how to apply the brown with a light brown background color. this has been working well. But then when I wear a very nice black dress i intend to/tend to to put on eyeshadow that goes with the outfit and i just don't understand how.

Can anyone help? I intend to/tend to to try something new and i am just like well embarrassed to beg my cousin again.

help would be greatly appreciated!How do I apply eyeshadow colors and make it seem good?

For a black dress i would apply eyeshadow to give a smocrucial look.....employ/utilized alot by celebs.

You'll need a metallic white dark and then metallic black (Matte colours dont seem to job aswell)

Apply the white to the inside eye and wipe to the middle of your eyelid. You can receive the white right into the corners of your eye this will highlight your eyes.

Then receive the black and start from the outer side of your eyelid and wipe to the middle next to white.

Then with the dark blend the white and black together.

As long like they are all blended well you should get a smooth contrast from white-grey-black.

Add eyeliner and plenty of mascara to complete the look.

Hope this helps...it works for me all the time :)How do I apply eyeshadow colors and make it seem good?

primarily rule of thumb with make up- never match your make up to your outfit you match it to your skin tone eye color and hair color.

granted when you wear black you probably dont intend to brown make up - so just simply take the darkest color you intend to and employ/utilize lighter shades the closer you get to your eyebrow.

always employ/utilize a highlighting color right next to your eyebrow and on the inside corner of your eyelids (it truly opens up your eyes) and just gradually get darker as you go down towards your eyelashes.

this is what i do every day for academy it's not as well much for academy except it sure makes you look more awake

1. apply eyeliner. i prefer using an eyeliner brush and a black eyeshadow to create my eyeliner since it will be easier for me to blend and create the smocrucial look. since you are a beginner i suggest you either purchase a eyeliner pencil or employ/utilize the method i do. since you are going to blend out the eye liner later on make sure you apply enough and the great thing is that it doesn't even have to be exact since you can often blend out imperfections or mistakes.

2. once you've applied the eye liner get a eye linger spongey thingy or get a eyeshadow/blending brush and start blending out the eyeliner you've applied. remember the smokey look is created in term of layers of color from dark to light. the closer you are to the lash line the darker the color shoudl be. so just put your blending brush where you've drawn your eye liner and blend UPWARD in circular or window swiper motion. different ppl have different eye shapes ( i am asian so i shortage that crease)..so you have to determine how far you desire blend that will create the best look for you. a tip for you: if you want a more cat eye effect blend the end of your eye more so that it creates the effect of a cat's eyes.
