STEP 1: Use Primer

The first and the most essential step before applying eyeshadow is that you start with a Primer. If you are attending an important function like a wedding, graduation ceremony, a party or more, you don’t want to end up fixing your makeup again and again.

You can apply a coat of Primer using your fingertips or a makeup brush.

Step 2: Neutral colour base

You have to apply a layer to the entire eyelid up to the crease with the colour that you have chosen. Make sure the colour is neutral; not the darkest nor the lightest. It will enhance your eye makeup and make it look more dramatic. It is vital to pick the right shade for the, or it is going to look too harsh because your entire eye makeup rests on the neutral colour base. It is the main shadow base that will make your eyes pop and cover discolouration if you have any.

The next step is to blend a darker shade into your crease. Start from the inner side of the eye, make a thin line which grows thicker as it extends towards the outer side of the crease. Keep blending your eyeshadow in the manner which is mentioned above. Pick the darkest shade from your eyeshadow palette for this process. It will add drama and definition to your eyes.
