January 12, 2023

Eye shadow is an essential step for girls to make up, and the choice of eye shadow in the makeup process is also a top priority. So, what are the categories of eye shadow? What to pay attention to when using eye shadow?

Pearlescent Eyeshadow

Pearlescent eye shadow refers to eye shadow with luster. According to the intensity of luster and the size of sequins and glitter powder, a more detailed distinction can be made, which are collectively referred to as pearlescent eye shadows here.

The advantage of eye shadow with a sense of light is that it can hide the lack of smudging skills, and it is more friendly to novices who are not skilled in the skills. But it also has disadvantages. It has a swelling effect when it is blended in a large area. The eye shadow with strong pearlescent effect is recommended to be used locally only in the range that needs to be emphasized.

 

How to use: For smudge tools, eye shadow brushes, eye shadow cotton swabs, and fingertips can all be used for makeup. It is recommended to use an eye shadow brush to apply makeup, which is more precise and the smudged level will be more natural.

 

Matte Eyeshadow

Matte eye shadows are matte eye shadows with no luster, and require a lot of smudging skills in use, and beginners need a lot of practice. Matte eyeshadows have a shrinking effect and can be used where you want to change or deepen contours.

 

How to use: For smudge tools, it is recommended to use an eye shadow brush to apply makeup. Using fingertips or cotton swabs is prone to agglomeration, and it is not easy to do smudges. In addition, after the eye primer and before applying matte eye shadow, using powder as a primer can help the eye shadow blend better.

 

Cream Eyeshadow

Cream eyeshadows, as well as cream and liquid eyeshadows, are suitable for all skin types and usually last longer and have more pigment than powders. In addition to boxed eyeshadows on the market, some eyeshadow pencils are also cream eyeshadow products, which are more convenient to use and more portable. The cream eyeshadow can be used as an eyeshadow primer to add layers to the follow-up eye makeup.

 

Smudge tools: You can use fingertips or brushes. It is recommended to use the fingertips to apply makeup. The temperature of the fingertips can help the paste to spread and smudge better. When using, first apply the cream eyeshadow to the eyelids, and blend evenly before it dries (about 30 seconds). Most of the cream eyeshadows will be firmly fixed on the eyelids after they are completely dry, and it is not easy to remove makeup . Sequence of use Wet first, then dry, use cream eyeshadow first, then powder products.
