Best Eye Makeup Tutorial: How to Apply Eyeshadow

In this article, we talk about the different ways to apply makeup for the face and eyes, including step-by-step instructions for beginners, as well as the best ways to apply eye makeup — mascara, eyeliner, and other things.

1. Striped blended eyeshadow

TikTok users have gone crazy with this simple eyeshadow application technique. All that is required is to apply eye makeup in vertical lines over the lid. To create a gradient look, use darker hues like dark brown or black on the outer corner of the eye and softer tones like orange, gold, or light brown in the center and inner corner.

After applying the eye makeup in stripes, lightly sweep a soft blending brush over the area to mix everything. You’ll only need a few minutes to finish, and the outcome will be stunning and smooth.

2. Smoky eyes with crayon liner

The smokey eye is one of the most popular yet feared eyelid makeup trends, and it does appear challenging and time-consuming to achieve. Actually, we have a super useful tutorial for you, and all you need for a quick and intense smoky eye effect is a basic black crayon liner.

Simply draw a black line with your pencil, no need for precision, and then color it in. Then, using the same brush, apply a light brown shade in delicate strokes along the socket line. Finish blurring the edges for as long as possible — the more you blend your eye shadow, the more natural it will appear. Complete the look by adding some glitz to your makeup by dabbing a lighter or glittery color into the inner corners.

3. Foxy eye look with tape

Drawing a precise line with just brushes and shadows may be difficult for novices, but you can use this tutorial. It will make it much easier for you to create a soft, foxy eye appearance. We’ll create this look by employing tape, a go-to tool for many makeup artists.

The first step is to apply a light brown shadow to your eye crease, then a milky white shadow over the entire lid. Using an angled brush or a brush with a thin tip, create a dark brown shade in a winged eyeliner shape on both the outer and inner corners of your eyes. Once you remove the tape, you’ll see how perfectly the line is drawn. The way your eyes look will astound you.

4. Spoon cut crease look

We can easily create an eye makeup look with only a few basic beauty skills, and some even call for the use of tools to speed up the application process. Even though it may appear bizarre, using a spoon to apply eyeshadow can actually help beginners who are attempting to master their cut crease look.

Close your eye and place the inside part of a clean spoon on it, letting the edge touch the socket line. Using a fluffy brush, lightly pat eyeshadow along the upper part of the spoon, focusing on the crease line. Because a cut crease makeup look is strong and has a defined line, there is no need to blend too much. Apply mascara to finish off the look after carefully removing the spoon from your eyes.

5. One eyeshadow color

The most stunning beauty tutorials often employ the least number of products. Sometimes you really don’t need to complicate things with more shadow, as you can pull off more traditional eye makeup, one with a dark crease and lighter lid, with only one color and 2 brushes.

First, choose a hue that you believe will match your skin tone. Apply it all over the eye socket with a flat brush, then distribute it with a blending brush. Be patient as you blend the color, since this will make a significant difference in the areas where you want the shade to be lighter. You can add mascara if desired, but the look is complete. You’ve achieved a beautiful ombre look by using only one color.

6. Bronzer as eyeshadow

Bronzers are great for sculpting and giving a subtle glow, but they also look incredible when applied to the eyes. This eyeshadow tutorial is both affordable and time-saving because it makes use of something you probably already have: bronzer.

Brush shimmering or matte bronzer down the crease of the eye socket to enhance the warmth and depth. By running it along your lower lash line, you can even create a light smokey eye. The final look is very clear and gives us a truly youthful appearance.

7. Eyeshadow as eyeliner

Everybody has struggled at one time or another to achieve the perfect eyeliner, but there is a quick trick you can do to apply eyeshadow and create eyeliner using shades from your favorite palette. By dipping your brush into micellar water and then drawing a line with whichever color you like, you can create the ideal eyeliner for you.

The eyeliner brush’s tip should first be dipped in micellar water before being tapped into the color you choose from the palette. This mixture produces a texture that is like that of watercolor paint. After the brush is fully filled with color, you can start creating your eyeliner.

8. Chapstick to intensify the eyeshadow colors

Since lip balms are emollient and may intensify the color of any eyeshadow, they make a great pigment mixing medium. Before applying the lip balm to your eyelids, dab it over your shimmery eyeshadow to pick up some pigment.

As you can see, mixing the 2 cosmetics enhances the color on your lids. The payoff could be amazing, and this eyeshadow look will make you shine like a star.
