1. Want to change a matte or
cream eye shadow
you
already have into a frost? Shimmer sticks in
silver
or gold are perfect to create beautiful highlights by applying lightly on top.
2. Been wanting to try the
new 'wet' looking cream eye shadows out there? Create your own: buy the famous
Elizabeth Arden's 8-Hour cream and apply over any colored eyeshadow. You'll get
the super wet look that lasts a few hours.
3. Here's a new trick I
picked up while doing a photo
shoot. The client wanted a sheer watercolor look for
the eyes and in a color that I didn't have. So to make
do, I mixed a little pastel pink eyeshadow into a gel
moisturizer and applied on the eyes. It dried a little
bit, which helped set it and viola...a sheer shade that
stayed on pretty well. Check your local drug store for
a gel moisturizer.
They're clear and do a great job at
keeping skin soft and shine-free. It also
helps keep
foundation on longer, when mixing together,
especially
when your skin is a bit on the oily side.
4. Applying eye shadows wet
have always given the
best
staying power, but it's tricky to do, especially
with
dark colors. Make it easy on yourself. Apply your
eyeshadow
dry, as normal. Then with a fine mister
bottle,
lightly mist over your eyes. Keep eyes close to
let
dry. After drying, you'll find that the eyeshadow
stays perfect and crease free for hours.
5. Have a long day ahead?
Spend a little extra time with your eyeshadow to keep it on all day.
Apply your shadows, then press loose powder on top to
set.
Apply another layer of your colored shadows on top. Will last hours longer.more...
