5 eye shadow mistakes to quit immediately

Hello Beauties!


Do you know that after lipstick, eyeshadows are the most loved makeup product? At some point we all have to take out that eyeshadow palette & create a personal style. For which everyone can use a little eyeshadow 101 once in a while & don't rely on mascara to do all the work.  Here are my 5 top tricks to help you on your next go around & do your eye makeup like a pro.




1. Skipping the blend:
The most important step of eye makeup is blending the eyeshadows together to get the most flattering dimension of your look. Obvious lines & un-blended eyeshadows look sloppy & non professional. Blend you eyeshadows from all the edges & blend all the colors together.  Eyes look best paired with a blend of colors along the brow bone, upper lid, crease & lowerlash. So the next time you do eye makeup, remember to blend, blend, blend & blend!





2. Blending with the palette applicator:
The mini applicators that come in eyeshadow palettes are convenient but however the sponge tip applies large amount of pigment at once which is nearly impossible to blend. The excess product starts falling of on your cheeks which spoils your face makeup. Where, the brush applicator helps you to dab off the excess product & buildup as you go.





3. Applying too much product below the eye:
Very important to always apply less product & just tightline your lowerline line. Excess or too much eyeshadow on lower lash will drag your eyes down & make you look tired. Darker colors can give you that raccoon eye look which no one likes.




4. Concealer application:
Here is the chicken-or-egg scenario for beginners. Do you apply concealer before your eye makeup? or after it?
The hard & fast rule is always after! Stray shadow can fall off & attach to precisely applied concealer, which is hard to correct. Instead, dab the concealer after completing your eye makeup to get the pro look.




5. Matching the color to your eyes:
Many of us think that the green eyeshadow will go perfectly with green eyes, right? No, wrong!  Applying the same color shade as your eye dilutes the color of your eye. Always select the color opposite on the olor wheel to bring out the color of your eyes for e.g Yellow or golden tones will pop the blue eyes while green eyes look bet with the plum & lavender shades.
