Eyeshadow & Eyeshadow Palettes

Even if you have the best eyeshadow palette, it won't look flawless without properly blending your eyeshadow. To blend eyeshadow, start by applying an eye primer to your lids to help lock your eye makeup in place. Once the primer is dry, use a brush with dense bristles and apply the lightest shade to the inner half of your lids. Next, use a darker color on the outer edges of the lid, and take a soft blending brush to help blend the two colors so they transition from one to another. Always start by applying your eyeshadow with a light hand. Remember, you can always go back and add more color to create a more dramatic look after the first blend.

All eyeshadow products come with an expiration date that you can see on the product packaging. Look for the small jar symbol that should indicate whether your new eyeshadow will expire, generally from three to eighteen months after it's been opened. If you leave your eyeshadow sealed, the expiration date begins however many months are shown on the package after you open it. You can use expired eyeshadow, but it probably won't be as pigmented, and it may dry out and crumble. Your eyes are also more vulnerable to germs and bacteria when using an old or expired eyeshadow. Cream eyeshadow tends to expire sooner than powder eyeshadow makeup due to the oils and other liquid ingredients that are added to it.

If you're new to using eyeshadow, it's best to start with neutral colors until you feel comfortable using a brush to add bolder colors on your lids. Maybelline makes a wide range of matte, neutral eyeshadow palettes that are a good choice for beginners. As your skills progress, you can move on to using brighter and more colorful eyeshadow palettes like options found in the Revlon So Fierce! Prismatic Shadow Palette.

First, locate the light, medium, and dark shades in your eye makeup palette. You’ll want to use the lighter shades to highlight. Apply one lightly under your brow bones and in the corner of each eye. Medium shades are ideal for blending over the eyelid and into the crease. Dark shades are best for adding depth, so use them sparingly around your lash lines and in the outermost crease of each eye.

For popular sultry looks like smokey eyeshadow, paying ample attention to the outer crease of each eye is key. For more natural looks, choose an understated color like light gray or peach eyeshadow and swipe it over your eyelids from lash line to crease, then accent with a little eyeliner and mascara. Don’t be afraid to get creative and try different looks to see what you like best. In general, lighter colors such as rose gold eyeshadow will lighten and brighten your eyes while darker colors like deep purple or black eyeshadow will add dimension and a sense of drama to your look.

Choosing the best eyeshadow for you isn’t about finding the best overall brand or product. Instead, it is about finding what works best for you and what makes you feel good! One way to go about finding the best eyeshadow for you is to use your eye color as a guide. Because eyeshadow is all about enhancing your natural beauty and making your peepers really pop, it’s a good idea to consider shades that contrast with your natural eye color.

• Looking for eyeshadow for brown eyes? You’ll want to select blue or greenish gold eyeshadow to make your irises really pop.

• If you’re searching for eyeshadow for blue eyes, try to look for light, neutral tones such as coral.

• Need an eyeshadow for green eyes? Pink and purple eyeshadow will bring out your natural brightness.

• The right eyeshadow for hazel eyes depends on whether you want to play up the green or the brown tones in your irises. Eyeshadow with autumnal tones in rich colors like brown and gold can make hazel eyes look browner, while lighter bronze shadows or metallic pinks can bring out the green in hazel eyes.

• And if you are looking for eyeshadow for gray eyes? Focus on steely, smokey hues like silver or charcoal to play up your natural color. Of course, these are just guidelines. The best eyeshadow for you is whichever color makes you feel amazing!

Don’t be afraid to change it up, either. Try out different looks and express yourself with your eye makeup. Consider your favorite colors, finishes, and makeup routine preferences when you’re shopping! For example, if you aren’t into bright colors and want a universally flattering, easy to use option, look for a nude eyeshadow palette. Want to avoid the shimmer of glitter eye shadow? A matte eyeshadow palette can give you the sophisticated look you’re craving.
