Eyesshadows

=Playing with Makeup - Create a work of art on your eyes!=

==Sticking with the theme of my pages I decided to do a makeup demonstration using pictures. I thought this would be fun and it could be something someone may want to learn or a possible idea for someone who is studying cosmetology.==

Before you place makeup on your face, it is important to moisturize your face. This is important to maintain healthy skin and it helps in smooth application of your foundation.

Before anything, always start with a fresh clean face.


Some of the things you should start with are your Moisturizer of choice, a foundation and a powder. I use the powder to catch excess eyeshadow that may fall under my eyes. Be sure to pat it under your eyes. Use the wedge to evenly spread the foundation when you apply it. Make sure to apply the foundation in different areas of your face to guarantee an evenly made face.

Some other things u are going to need are your brushes to apply eyeshadows and some applicators. These are used to apply and blend eyeshadows. Other brushes to be used are blush brushes which are for blush.



After you have done this you are going to begin applying eyeshadow to your eyes in different locations. These areas of your eyes are known as the highlight, the crease and your lid. I will begin with the highlight and then follow with the eyelid. On your highlight area be sure to apply the lightest color that you want to use for your eyes. After doing these two areas you then proceed to place the darker shadow on your crease. After you have placed the shadow in that area it is important to blend your shadows so that it will have a softer look and will not have harsh lines or look choppy.





After you are done applying your makeup be sure to line your upper lid. You can also line your bottom lash line for a more intense look for the evening. Some people also opt to line their waterline.



Once you are done with the liner, brush your eyebrows with an eyebrow brush, put on your mascara of choice and complete your look with blush and if you want some lipstick or lipgloss and you have a complete look.
