5 Shade Mineral Eyeshadow Oh So Neutral

By Chris Kane, 02-Nov-2010
Related Topics: Flawless Foundation

Key Eyeshadow Application Tips:
Begin by using an eye base or Makeupart.net make-up foundation to cover the eye area completely. This allows for the Makeupart.net mineral eyeshadow color and make-up technique to be achieved with a clean and professional finish. Next apply a eyeshadow highlight color; spread color from your lash line all the way up to your brows. This will create an open effect.

Oh So Neutral Mineral Eyeshadow Tip 1
Step #1
Apply base layer of lightest color eye shadow color onto the inner 2/3 of the eyelid. Always blend in an inward motion.

Step #2
Apply a third layer of eye shadow over the entire eyelid. Next, lightly apply the darkest eye shadow over the outer 1/3 of the eyelid, blending inwards up toward the brow bone, until the center of the eyelid/brow bone. Perfectly blend color.

The Perfect Base:
When using Makeupart.net 5-shade Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Compact Amethyst Gems, best results are achieved by spending a lot of time preparing the rest of the face. When applying vibrant eye shadow colors or any time you use colors this bold, the skin texture and tone has to be flawless. Lip color should be neutral and eyebrows perfectly groomed.

Choosing your Color:
When choosing your eyeshadow color remember that it is a great tool used to define and highlight your eyes and express mood. One of the best ways to choose the color that works for you is to look at the colors in your irises. For example, blue eyes may have flecks of smoky gray, gold, green, lavender or turquoise. Use these shades to bring out the eye color, rather than using blue, which will wash out your eye color.

Brown eyes may have gold or green flecks, and green and hazel irises might have pale gray, turquoise, gold or dark brown flecks.
Makeup expert Chris Kane, for Makeupart.net, says "If you are looking for a color to also compliment your outfit, and your outfit has three colors, choose one color of eye shade to complement or accent. Take the edge off the eye shadow by mixing it with a softer color."

More Tips:

• Finish – Choose matte for a classic look and shimmer for a special occasion.
• Texture – Opt for a silky, smooth shadow that blends easily. Avoid dry, grainy shadows and choose colors that blend well together.
• Intensity – The more pigment in the shadow, the darker the color. If you've applied several layers and the color still isn't the intensity you want, there's not enough pigment.
Makeupart.net minerals contain our favorite professional pure pigments wich are the best in the world. Keep in mind that dark shades may be too intense for pale skin. Dark skin tones may require rich, deep shades.
• Shimmer eye shadow (which contains mica) may cause redness or irritation for contact lens wearers or those with sensitive eyes. Also keep shimmer subtle. Shiny textures will accentuate imperfections.
• Use one color, or two maximum that blend and complement each other. We recommend Makeupart.net pressed mineral eyeshadows.
• The use of light shadows will help to open up your eyes.
• If upper lids look "hooded" due to age, use a light touch of shadow. We recommend Mekaupart.net professional pure pigments.
