Tips For Rainbow Eyeshadow Look
While a lot to recreate, the rainbow eye makeup trend needs to follow a few rules in order to get the best looks possible. As this rainbow eye makeup requires a whole lot of makeup products, ensure that you are following these tips.
Always Apply Primer
As mentioned before, a primer sets the base for your rainbow eyeshadow look. Whether you’re going in with a matte eyeshadow or an eye sparkle, you need a primer to ensure that it stays in place and doesn’t crease or cake up in time.
Conceal Or Dab A Little Foundation
Make sure you neutralise your base with a nude hue. This evens out your skin tone around the lids and ensures that you’re getting the actual colour of the shadow. Sometimes certain hues don’t pick up on certain skin tones, and applying a concealer or foundation helps prevent that. Plus it also aids in making your rainbow eye makeup last longer.
Use A Separate Brush
Each colour deserves a separate brush so that you don’t mix the hues together, so keep those tools handy.
Apply Eyeshadow Before Your Apply Your Foundation
While this is a general makeup rule of thumb to follow, it applies more to this rainbow eye makeup look. If you mess up or any eye makeup falls on your skin, you’re able to clean it easily and cover it up with your foundation.
Go With Cream First Then Powder
If you’re using multiple eyeshadow textures, make sure you apply creams first and then powders. This helps the powder stick to the cream and stay put. Use creams to create a shape and then top it off with powders for that added saturation.
