1. For best results, pick up your eye shadow
color
with the side of your eye shadow brush, not the tips.
Running the brush across with the tips of the bristles
only picks up too much product, and sends it flying.
You know this is you if you get a 'hole' in the middle
of your color. Apply by pressing on the color instead
of brushing it on to avoid color from falling. Great for
applying dark and heavily frosted and glitter colors.
2. To make a powdered shadow color go on
stronger, apply your colored shadow with a
makeup sponge or an eye shadow applicator. The color will go on exactly the way
you see it in the pan.
3. For a softer version of an eye shadow color,
pick
up some white or cream colored eye shadow first on
your brush, next pick up your color and then apply.
The lighter color will soften the intensity of the
pigment.
4. Your colors not going on right? Are you
getting
colors in the wrong area? It could be your brush
that's
the culprit. Make sure your brushes fit the
area
you are applying to. The smaller the brush, the
smaller the application area. Smaller brushes are
great
for applying under the eyebrow. A larger, flat
brush
is perfect for shadows that go on the lids. A
long
fluffy shadow brush is great for the crease. It's all in the brush.more...
