How to Perfect Your Eye Shadow Routine

A Tutorial with Nude Envie

 

If the eyes are a window to the soul, eye shadow is the drapes. Eye shadow frames your eyes and has the power to completely transform your face. Learn how to wield the power of shadow to lift and contour your eyes.

Step One

 

 

Prep and Prime: Use ‘Stellar’ Cream Bronzer as a primer to prep your lids for your eye shadow. This will cover redness and imperfections while providing a surface for your shadow to adhere to.

 

Step Two

 

 

    Desire Eye Shadow                         Goddess Highlighter

 

Base Layer: Apply a skin-toned, shimmery shade to your lids such as ‘Desire’ Eye Shadow or ‘Goddess’ Powder Highlighter to create a solid canvas for the rest of your look.

 

Step Three

 

 

Dazzle                              Dreamy                                Daring

 

Build, Blend, and Layer: Starting from light to dark, use highly pigmented shades and blend with a fluffy brush until you reach your desired result. Contour by applying darker shadow to the creases. Pro Tip: Apply ‘Dreamy’(a taupe-nude shade) eye shadow to brow bone to lift eyes.

 

Step Four

 

 

Line Your Lids: Use ‘Divine’ Eye Shadow as an eyeliner by using a small angled damp brush along your lash line. For a smokier look, buff out slightly.
