How To Apply 2-coloured Eye-shadow

There are multiple ways to apply a 2-coloured eye-shadow. It all depends on the effect you are trying to create; simple or dramatic. In applying eye-shadow the shape of your eye is a very important factor to consider.

When applying two different colours of eye-shadow, selecting contrasting colours does the trick. Contrasting colours such as black and white, silver and blue, gold and brown, pink and purple, orange and brown, purple and black, yellow and green, etc work well together.

If you are just starting to use makeup or you are used to one-coloured eyeshadow and you want to try more than one colour , this approach will guide you to doing it skillfully well.

For this tutorial,

                                                      Here are the products I used:

Eyeshadow brush or Applicator

Primer: Kuddy's Cosmetic Eyeshadow Primer
Eyeshadow: Tara 3 Colour Eyeshadow OVIALEKE

Mascara: Maybelline Colossal Volume Express 

free eyelid

Prime the Eyelid

Using an eye-shadow brush, Apply the lighter eye-shadow (the gold)  to the inner corner of the eye; stop at the center of the eye. Do not go above the crease of the eyes. Reserve the crease for contouring (the crease is that part of the eye that folds when you look up).



With a different eyeshadow brush, apply the darker eye-shadow (the coffee brown) starting from the point where the gold eye-shadow stops (center) to the outer corner of the eye.




 

Using a different clean brush (the middle  brush), blend the center of the eyes where the two eye-shadows meet. This is very key….blend softly until u can’t see where the gold eye shadow stops and where the brown begins.



For the final contouring effect, apply the little eye-shadow left on the blending brush to the crease; this is the contouring effect. Ensure this is as mild as possible, you don't want to have excess eyeshadow around your crease. Apply the rest of your eye makeup: highlight the brow bone, apply eyeliner and mascara….VIOLA! You are done.

Remember practice makes perfect!

Eye Brow Tutorial

Hello Beautiful,

Having issues defining your eye brows, I did at some point.

But don't worry, you will be a guru with these 6 easy steps.

Tips

*Remember you have to groom or trim your eyebrows to shape, or at least allign them before you can achieve this.

*You really don’t need to have the complete set of makeup brushes to achieve this.

So here are the things I used and what can readily replace them:

1. Brown Eye Pencil or Brow filler: Any one will do, Davis, Air woman or  Ever Sheen. These are  everywhere and very affordable. The brown pencil doesn't have to be expensive to do the job. 

2. Concealers: your shade and a shade or two lighter (this can be replaced with a gold eyeshadow and your foundation mixed in little but equal proportions) 

3. Eye brow Wand or Brush (this can be replaced with a tooth brush)

4. Angled brush ( This can be replaced with a Cotton bud)

Step 1: Wipe your brows and brush in an upward direction.

Step 2: Follow the natural arch of your brows. If your brows are really scanty or you barely have an arch, create a soft arch tracing your brows at the top and bottom.

Step 3: Fill in the arch. It’s best to shade, not draw. By shading, you apply gentle strokes of the brow pencil.

Step 4: Fill the tip of the brows, making it a little sharp at the corner of the eyes. Let it be as natural as possible.

Step 5: Apply the concealer, 2 shades or a shade lighter below the eye to give it some definition. Then apply the conclear that is your exact shade at the top of the brows . This way you will not create a ‘halo’ arch over your brows.

Step 6: Blend the concealer into your skin. That's it.....You are ready for a selfie #winks#

Purple Smoky Drama......My before and After

In the spirit of playing with colours, I decided to create a purple smoky look. Smoky eyes have been a huge trend for a while now and show no sign of dying. Always remember that when going smoky eyed, blending is the key to perfection.

A smoky eye doesn’t necessarily or always have to be created with black eye shadow. For a random smoky look pair a light coloured eyeshadow and a dark coloured one: colours like gold and brown, silver and navy blue, light blue and dark blue, silver and black etc…..it all depends on you.

 

Here's How I did Mine:

*Cleansed my face with a facial  wipe  



Before





*Fixed the single false lashes (optional):

           I like the single lashes because it looks more natural than the strip type,  although it's not too easy to fix on one's self. It takes contant practise.

             I fixed this myself; to the left is the eye with the false individual lashes while to the right is the eye with my natural lashes.


Both eyes; to the Left has the flase lashes, to the right is my natural lashes

*Worked on my eyelid

        Used an eye shadow base (also known as eye shadow primer)

        Applied the purple eye shadow with the aid of my eyeshadow brush to every part of my eyelid.

        Then applied the black eyeshadow on the edge of my eyelid


*Contoured my face:
Using a concealer lighter than my shade and blended thoroughly

       



Contouring and Blending


*Carved my brows and outlined it with my concealer to make it stand out; concealer should be a shade or two light than you actual skin tone.

Left eye without False lashes

Right eye with False Lashes

*Applied an eyeliner

*Applied mascara

*Created a solid finish with my powder; I used two shades of powder for contouring.

*Bronzer for shimmery effect(optional, I didn't apply to create this look)

*Blush to my cheeks: make this as light as possible so you don't over do it

*Applied lip colours

And

VOILA!!!
