Frequently Asked Questions
What do you put on eyelids before eyeshadow?
Although it is not a necessary step, applying an eye makeup primer on your lids before the eyeshadow helps keep the makeup in place, manages any discoloration and makes for a flawless finish.
Should you wear eyeliner on the bottom?
Wearing eyeliner on the waterline will enhance a dramatic eye makeup look by helping you try light and shadow effects using appropriate eyeliner hues.
Do you put foundation or concealer on eyelids?
No. Avoid using foundation or concealer on your eyelids to prevent your makeup from looking cakey. Instead, use a primer if you want to prep your eyes with a base.
Should you apply eyeliner before or after eyeshadow?
Eyeshadow always comes before eyeliner as it covers more area. If you apply eyeshadow later, it will cover the eyeliner you applied so painstakingly.
Does dark or light eyeshadow go first?
When you use both dark and light eyeshadows for your eye makeup, whether you apply dark or light eyeshadow first depends on what kind of effect you are trying to achieve. If you want the dark eyeshadow to pop, apply it first, followed by the light eyeshadow. Similarly, apply light eyeshadow first if you want it to pop.
Key Takeaways
- The classic brown and gold soft eye makeup looks good on most eye colors. However, it stands out more on light eyes.
- Deep blue eyeshadow looks amazing on light eyes, such as hazel or green because it stands out better.
- However, it is still a great choice for all types of eyes.
- Using pigmented colors, high-quality brushes, and blending smoothly can help you master any eyeshadow look.
- A mascara not only opens up your eyes but also helps you define them and give them a fuller appearance.
