Liquid eyeshadow how to apply

Liquid shadows are one of the most important attributes in the makeup artist's arsenal. The shadows look great and apply well. But do not get carried away with liquid shadows for older women: mother-of-pearl particles will make the makeup shimmer and emphasize the shape of the eyes along with wrinkles. Consider below how to apply liquid shadows correctly.

Advantages and disadvantages

Pros of liquid shadows:

1. Persistence. Liquid shadows do not crumble, and waterproof ones do not wash off. The composition of the shadows includes glycerin, high-quality alcohol, dry pigments, vegetable wax and unsaturated acids. The whole cocktail of components helps to keep makeup for a long time.
2. Brightness and wide color gamut. The color of the shadows does not fade. And the palette of shades begins with transparent colors and ends with dazzling bright.
3. Suitable for any weather. In the cold, liquid shadows do not roll, and in the heat they do not spread.
4. Eyelid skin care. Thanks to moisturizing ingredients, glycerin, soluble vitamins and an acid complex, the skin remains fresh, soft and supple.

Cons of liquid shadows:

1. Shadows dry too fast.
2. It is difficult to determine how the color will look on the eyelid before application.
3. Poor-quality shadows roll, gather in the corners of the eyes.

When choosing the color of the shadows, follow these rules:

• Too dark colors are not suitable for light skin types. Dark shades will give the skin around the eyes an unhealthy look and emphasize fine wrinkles.
• Shadows that are too light for your skin will flatten your face.
• For daytime makeup, use light shades, for evening makeup - bright and saturated.

Feel free to experiment with eyeshadow colors. The main thing is not to look vulgar or too dull.

Foundation for shadow

Before using liquid shadows, apply a base for makeup, this will prevent the shadows from rolling on the moving eyelid:

1. Wash your face to remove excess fat.
2. For oily skin, it is recommended to powder the eyelid a little with the pads of your fingers. Dry skin is suitable under the base eye cream.
3. Using a brush, apply a little cream from the lash line to the eyebrows.
4. Let the base soak for a couple of minutes - and you can start makeup.

Apply liquid eye shadow

It is better to paint with liquid shadows in one layer, without making strong pressure with an applicator, brush or fingertips. It will not work for a long time to experiment with makeup. The shadows dry quickly, and it is worth immediately removing all the bumps.

Application features:

1. We sit in front of a mirror.
2. Apply shadow from the inner corner of the eye to the outer.
3. Evenly blend the shadows with the help of fingertips with light patting movements.
4. Close your eyes and wait a few minutes for the shadows to dry.

Other possibilities of liquid shadows

Liquid shadows are great as a makeup base to give your eyes a shimmery look:

1. Take shades of light shades.
2. Gently blend them with your fingers on the eyelid in one layer.
3. Apply on top of the necessary layer of other shadows.

Use liquid eye shadow as an eyeliner or eyeliner. Take a brush or applicator, dip the tool in eye shadow, draw a line of the thickness you need from the middle of the upper eyelid to the corner of the eye.

Applying liquid eyeshadow is a difficult task. But by practicing, you will get the desired result. Don't stop experimenting.
