How to apply liquid eyeshadow. This is not hard to master if you follow a few tips.

Pick a good color. Choose one that either blends with the tone of your skin and hair color or makes those two attributes stand out. Also, make sure you take into consideration what colors you are wearing. You want to make the whole outfit — clothes and makeup — look matched.

There’s an expression “too much of something is not a good thing.” This definitely applies to liquid eyeshadow. You don’t want to apply it too heavy or apply it too light. You need to apply it gently, but firmly. Did you know that you can change regular eyeshadow into liquid eyeshadow? Yes, you can. Simply take the tip, wet it, and touch the eyeshadow pad. Then, swipe it carefully across your eyelid. Now, later in the day, your eyeshadow won’t look so dry.

Make sure you are sitting in good light as you apply the liquid eyeshadow. It’s important that you can see where you are applying the color. Some like one color on the portion covering your eyeball with a different color covering the part above your eyeball, but below your eyebrow. Oh, it’s also a good idea to leave some space between your eyebrow and whatever color you have chosen. On the other hand, you can just blend one color into another color right into your eyebrow. It’s a different look. You decide which look you want for what occasion.

Blending is probably the most important part of learning how to apply liquid eyeshadow. You definitely don’t want to show where one color ends and another color starts. Just blend.

Choosing just the right shade or shades is also very important when learning how to apply liquid eyeshadow. You can go for the big surprise, taking the less traveled path, or you can go the natural route. Whichever way you choose, you’re the winner because no one else makes up your eyes the same way as you do.
