The general rule is that light shades bring out your eyes, darker shades give them dimension. If you have small eyes and want to give the impression of larger eyes, you want to stay with lighter shades. If you have large eyes or protruding eyes, you would want to use darker shades. To prevent shadow from creasing, put foundation on your lids first, then powder. This gives you a clean canvas for your colorations.





The first step of applying eyeshadow is to apply a light color over your entire eye lid from lash line to brow. Use a large flat eyeshadow brush. Always use good quality brushes.





The second step is to apply a medium shadow color on your lower lid from lash line to the crease of your eye. Use a fluff brush.





The third step is to use your darkest color as a liner and apply along your lash line. To insure shadow will not flake, dampen your eyeliner brush before applying shadow. This will make it last longer.





Once your foundation is on, gradually apply lighter shades first, slowly working up to your final color. An important fact to remember is, use colors that blend together naturally. It's not where you place the colors: it's that they work together and blend together invisibly.





TIP: You do not want this to look like three separate colors.How do i put on eye shadow???
First choose the eyeshadow colors you want. I normally choose them according to my dress color but also keep in mind the color of my skin. Choose 3 different eyeshadow colors all around the same shade of color. Apply the darkest shade on to your eyelids. The lightest shade underneath your eyebrows, on your eyebrow bone. The middle shade on in between the lightest and darkest shade.





For casual look use normal eyeshadow. If you want a party look use glittery eyeshadow. Hope that had helped (:
Try a cream eyeshadow instead of powder.


Stay with the brown family of colors.
