Matte eye shadow

Applying matt eye shadow will compliment your eyelids as well as conceal your hooded eyes perfectly. Use it above your upper lash line for effect. Always keep your eyes open while applying your make-up. This is because it can be challenging to find your crease with your eyes closed. Mark your crease and apply your make-up just above where you have marked it. Try using nude or brown colour eye-shadow to enhance the effect.

When applying your eye shadow, use a handkerchief and place it on the outer corner of your eye and apply accordingly. When you apply the eye shadow, start from the centre of your eyes and move outwards towards the handkerchief. If you also apply the eye shadow on the lower lash line, it will create an illusion of evened out eyes with symmetry. Remember, with practice, and you will master the art of applying eye shadow and look flawless.
