How to apply eyeshadow?
Readers Question: Could you please give me some basic eyeshadow tips: What eyeshadow colours are complimentary for dark skin girls for daytime and also for night time. How can I flatter my eyes hape?
Denise Rabor: A general rule for applying eyeshadow is to follow the shape of your eyes. If using just one colour, using your brush, just apply the eyeshadow to the eyelids and gently blend. If you are using 2 colours, apply the second colour in the outer corner of your eye and into the crease, and blend.
I love to see women being bold with eye colour and dark skins can really pull it off well. These eyeshadow colours are great, try:
- burgundy
- purple
- bronzes
- coppers
- golds
- greens
- blues
- ….the choice is yours!
The important thing is to ensure that the eyeshadow is highly pigmented enough, a good idea is to try the colour on your hand and if it sinks in and still looks like the colour that you’ve chosen you’re onto winner. You can also intensify the effect of your eyeshadow by using a wet brush to apply it. Oh yes, and avoid pale shades as they can often translate as ‘ashy’ on dark skins.
Some of the brands that I like for darker skins are:
- Mac
- Nars
- fashion fair
- Iman
- NYX
- Urban decay
- Kiko
- Illamasqua
- Bobbi Brown
- Sleek
