PRIME IT

MUAs will tell you how important the eye primer is. Not only does it provide a base for the eyeshadow but also prevents creasing. If you have never used a primer before, try priming the lids before putting on shadow to see the difference it makes. The primer allows the shadow to stay put where it belongs, while also boosting the intensity of its colour. The Tinted Perfection Base Primer & Pore Minimiser targets visible pores and excess oil. It creates a silky-smooth canvas for eyeshadow application and the slight tint in the primer evens out the skin tone. Make sure that the primer is completely dry before applying any eyeshadow!

BRUSH RIGHT

Every brush has a purpose and is vital for that flawless finish. Applying and blending eyeshadow is much easier once you have the right tools. Invest in the right makeup brush especially when it comes to eye makeup. From the eyeshadow brush to shader brushes and blending brushes, all these will be required to get that eye makeup on fleek. And remember, practice makes perfect. So, practice the techniques as much as you can, and you’ll be an expert in no time.

MAKE IT POP

Use makeup products in tandem to achieve dazzling results. Applying a dab of Spotlight Multitasking Strobing Liquid, which is a subtle liquid highlighter on top of your shadow can give it a dual-toned effect. Similarly, dabbing some highlighter in the centre of the lids, over the shadow can make the shadow colour pop and stand out.

LAYER IT

Usually, eyeshadow has a transition colour and the main colour. You can use more than just two colours, there are no set rules. Use a warmer shade on the eye crease followed by a brighter or vibrant colour on the lids. Fuse the two shadows together with gentle blending. There you g! Professionally done eye makeup. Try the Manish Malhotra Eyeshadow Palettes which have a number of colours and shimmer, matte and foil textures. These will help you create any eye look you want. 

BROW GAME

Eyeshadows can serve more than just one purpose. If you ever run out of your brow powder, your black or brown shadow can double up as an eyebrow filler. Use an angled brush to fill into your brows and voila, you have brows on fleek. Always go with the shade closest to your natural brow hair colour so that it doesn’t look fake. 

Choose your eye colour first

You should always find eyeshadow shades and colours such as blue, green, or brown that completely compliment your eye colour which is a great way to make your eyes stand out.

Apply a beige base

Not only does using a powder on top of the primer set it in place, but the hue of beige colour also makes your eyeshadow colour pop a bit more. Whereas neutral undertones help to reflect light back, so if any shadow that’s applied after will be as true as that shade you see in the pan.
