Mixing and mixing again

The first rule for eye shadows is to do just that: blend, blend, blend. An eyeshadow brush is best for this, as you can do a better blending by turning the tip of the brush to blend make up brushes  with circular movements. To avoid over-blending however, the key is to blend enough so that there are no lines but not so much that the colours are lost.

The transitional shades are basic

When applying shadows, it's important to start by placing a transition color in your crease and build from there. This will create that seamless, blended effect without harshness. Your transition shadow is also an opportunity to define your crease, which gives your eyes shape and supports your overall look. When choosing a color, opt for a neutral, matte shade that is a few shades deeper than your skin tone.

Type and texture

Eye shadows have many types of finish and texture and there are unique blending techniques for each one. If your eye shadow has a frosted finish, confine it to the lid of the eyelids only and blend with a flat eye shadow brush for best results. If it's shimmery, blend only on the inner crease. For eye cream, you can be freer with the blending, especially if the shade is natural. Blend with your finger starting from the lid, up to the brow.

Determine the shape of your eyes

Different eye shapes require different blending techniques, so don't despair if your favourite eye shadow tutorial didn't work for you. People with almond-shaped eyes, for example, need to pay attention to the crease, while people with small eyes need to do a little more work to ensure that their eye makeup is visible when their eyes are open.

Highlight the Brow Bone

Highlighting the brow bone is a makeup technique that involves applying a lighter shade of eyeshadow or highlighter to the area just under the brow bone. The purpose of this technique is to create contrast and draw attention to the eyes, making them appear larger and more defined. 

To highlight the brow bone, you'll need a small brush and a light shade of eyeshadow or highlighter. Dip the brush into the eyeshadow or highlighter, tapping off any excess powder. Then, apply the color to the area just under the brow bone, starting at the inner corner of the eye and blending outwards towards the tail of the eyebrow. 

The key to highlighting the brow bone is to use a light touch and blend the color well. You want the color to be subtle and natural-looking, rather than harsh or overpowering. By highlighting the brow bone, you can create a bright, lifted effect that opens up the eyes and makes them appear more awake and alert. It's a simple but effective technique that can really take your eye makeup to the next level.

Correctly blending eye shadows according to your eye shape can seem daunting at first, but it's actually quite simple once you know the basics. By following these tips, you'll be able to create a stunning eye makeup look that complements your unique eye shape. Remember to experiment with different colors and techniques until you find the perfect look for you.
