Most eyeshadows are buildable so you apply the same colour in layers, creating a more intensified colour. If you apply one or two layers over the entire lid, go back and apply more layers but only along your eyelids; that way it brings a greater focus on your eyes If you want to add more colours to your look, most eyeshadows come in duo's or trio's, taking the guesswork out of matching colours. The lighter shade goes across your entire lid and the darker shade is applied in the crease, the outer half of your upper lid, and/or the corner of your eyes (depending on the look you're going for)
When you use more than one colour, blending is the most important part. You'll know if colours are blended well because you can't tell where one colour ends and another colour begins
The best tip I can offer is to play around with your makeup no matter how much or how little makeup you own. There's so much potential to be creative with it so experiment and see what works best for you. And write down everything you can! I can't remember the number of times I've experimented with a technique or a look and I loved it but when I wanted to redo it on a different day I couldn't remember how I did it lol
great informations...thanks zoe!
