EyeShadow Tips

There are few kinds of makeup that can add dimension and accent to the eyes quite like eye shadow. Especially when used with other eye makeup like mascara and eyeliner, you have a combination that is designed for enhancing your eyes. That doesn't mean it is easy to decide on what type of eye shadow you need or the colors that are going to be best for you. Many women get in a rut when it comes to their makeup and an occasional refresher course in what's trendy and exploring the new products available is all that's needed to brighten up your look.

One of the least used kinds of eye shadow has to be the liquid varieties. This kind of makeup is used to create a foundation for the rest of eye shadow shades and add some sparkle and shine to the overall finish of your makeup. This eye shadow can also be used as a highlight on the rest of your face, like on the cheekbones and applied to the body where you want some shine. Many women like to use liquid eye shadow discreetly on their shoulders or along the bust line.

Powder and eye shadow pencils are convenient for use on the eyes when you are on the go or at home. Pencils often look more natural when you use your fingertip or a gentle makeup brush to apply. Otherwise, you are running the risk of pulling and stretching the delicate skin around your eyes. Darker shades of these kinds of eye shadow look great when used as a contrast on the crease of the eye. The lighter shades are wonderful for highlighting the brow line.

If you have blue or hazel eyes, you will find that colors like tans and browns, as well as purple and even deep blue are good choices for your eye color. Those with brown eyes will look gorgeous in bronze, sage green, and navy blue. Explore the links on this site for more ideas about eye shadow.
