Eyeshadow Beginners Guide 2023

Before learning how to use eye shadow, it is necessary for beginners to understand the most basic color theory. In our cognition, such colors as yellow, red, and orange are called warm colors, and blue, green, and gray are called cold colors. The warm color is yellow, and the cold color is blue. But sometimes it can’t be classified in such a general way. After all, cold and warm are only relative. Even if it is also green, it can be cold and warm. The closer it is to yellow, the warmer it is, and the closer it is to blue, the colder it is. Therefore, the judgment of eye shadow tone mainly depends on individual skin tone.

If your skin is very white and the yellow tone is not heavy, then it is OK to use a slightly cold purple and blue. But if your skin color is yellow, try to avoid this kind of cool tone. Because they are relative on the color wheel, blue and purple will highlight the existence of yellow. If your skin is darker, then the dullness on your eyelids will be more serious than that of girls with fairer skin. The same is the earth’s color. The light brown and apricot color that can be reflected on the eyelids of whiter girls will be very abrupt or invisible on your eyelids. Therefore, when choosing eye shadow for girls with darker skin color, remember to avoid too light colors.

 

How to Apply Eye Shadow

Step 1: Take an appropriate amount of light-colored eye shadow and gently apply it to the entire eye socket as the background color;

Step 2: Take an appropriate amount of the main color eye shadow and evenly smear it on 1/2 or 2/3 of the eyelids. The upper part is weak and the lower part is solid, the front part is weak, and the back part is solid;

Step 3: Take dark eye shadow, apply it 2-3 mm above the root of an eyelash, and lengthen the tail of the eye properly;

Step 4: Take a small amount of pearly bright color, and gently smear it from the middle and back of the eye socket.

The painting method of three color eye shadow: the lightest color is painted all over the eye socket, the middle color is painted half of the eye socket and the eye tail is dizzy, the darkest color is painted all over the fold of the eyelid, and then the three colors are dizzy, which is too natural.

 

The Applying Method of Single Color Eye Shadow

The monochrome eye shadow method means that when we apply eye makeup, we only use one color. For the disabled and novices, monochrome eye shadow is a fast and beautiful method. When we are about to go out and can’t spend time painting eye shadow, we can use the monochrome eye shadow painting method. There are two ways to apply monochrome eye shadow, one is through the eye shadow pen, the other is through the eye shadow disk.

 

Eye shadow pen rendering

Some people say that the eye shadow pen is not suitable for beginners, because it will be awkward to use, and the problem of uneven coloring of eye shadow is easy to occur. But don’t worry, Mumu introduces a very simple and easy painting method today.

First, we need to use an eye shadow pen to smear eye shadow on the corner of the eye, then gently render it forward to the eye head with your hand, and finally, render it forward with your hand until it reaches the radian of the eye, which can make the eye makeup more obvious and natural.

 

Eye shadow disk halo staining

In daily life, most girls use eye shadow discs to make up their eyes. Generally, the eye shadow disk has many colors, including polarized colors. The eye shadow of polarized color refers not to the eye shadow of the color polarized bright color system, but to this type of eye shadow that will enhance brightness, reduce color saturation and present a gradual dynamic sense under the refraction of light. Therefore, it is recommended that you use polarized eye shadow for eye makeup smudging, which avoids the complex difficulty of using multiple colors to create gradient levels, and is very suitable for novices and hand-disabled party members.

First of all, we apply eye shadow on the eyelids and brush a layer from the end of the eye to the head of the eye. Then use the eye shadow brush to slightly dye it upwards.

When putting monochrome eye shadow, you must remember not to choose light colored eye shadow. Because using only one color of light pearl eye shadow is easy to give people a feeling of puffiness in both eyes, which will affect the beauty of the entire makeup.

 

The Applying Method of Multi Color Eye Shadow 

Many girls may think that monochrome eye shadow is too monotonous, and they want to pursue more levels and three-dimensional eye makeup effects. Then Mumu will introduce several painting methods of multicolor eye shadow.

 

Dichroism

The chromatic halo dyeing method mainly uses two distinct colors for halo dyeing. Generally speaking, we will first apply light color on the upper and lower eyelids, then apply darker color around the wrinkles of the eyelids, and then use a makeup brush to dye the upper and lower halos.

 

Three color eye shadow halo staining

Three-color eye shadow is actually a gradual change from top to bottom. Generally, we will divide these three colors into background color, middle tone color, and dark color. The selection and division of these three color tones should be arranged according to the depth of the color you choose, and follow the principle of light, middle and deep.

The first and second step of the three-color eye shadow method is to use the background color and middle tone and refer to the two-color eye shadow method for halo dyeing. Compared with the two-color eye shadow, this painting mainly has an eyeliner color. Eyeliner color We will use a darker color to paint along the root of the eyelash, and gently paint on the lower third of the eye. Finally, we use the makeup brush for the transition of halo and dye, and we will get a relatively three-dimensional and natural three-color eye shadow.

 

Colorful eye shadow

Some people may say that it is difficult to master the color by using four colors for halo dyeing. In fact, it’s not necessarily that the eye shadow quad has one more bright color than tricolor eye shadow. The so-called brightening color is the color with high brightness and metallic luster, such as white, beige, pearly light pink, and other whitening colors.

First, we spread the light color in the area from the head of the eye to the eye, and then spread the middle color in the area from the eye to the tail of the eye, and use a halo brush to halo in the left and right directions to make the transition natural. Then use the deepest color to make a C-shaped drawing at the end of the eye, slightly bring the current area to some, and then use a clean eye shadow brush to smudge. Finally, use the brightening color to brighten the eyes, eyes and eyes.

The painting method of eye shadow quad is the most complex, but the beauty of makeup brought by eye shadow quad is irreplaceable by other monochrome eye shadow or two-color eye shadow, which better displays colors in the eyes, making the eye makeup shine.
