How to use eye shadow like stars

Most people think they have basic flaws in their appearance, and the truth is, stars are no exception. Beauties like Angelina Jolie and Beyonce Knowles make no secret of the use of various makeup styles to enhance their looks, and both women make superb use of eye shadow. Eye shadow is designed to draw attention to a person's eyes (yes, male movie stars too!) And at the same time improve the appearance of the eyes, distracting attention or covering up minor flaws. Here are some tips on how to apply a shadow to correct some of the issues you think may exist.

To maximize the effect of your shadow, make sure people know you're using it. Some beauty experts suggest that you "prep" your eyes before applying eye shadow. The eyelids are paler than the skin on the rest of the face, mainly due to less lifetime light exposure. A layer of bone shadow on the eyelids will match the color of the rest of the face, and any color applied on top will tend to stand out.

Then try out different shades before deciding which one works best for you. A bronze shade is suitable for most eyes, and other shades will depend on your own eye color. Blue eyes, for example, will be best complemented with a darker shade of blue (this will bring out your eye color and look bluer), taupe, purple, or gray. Lighter tones and contrasts work well with brown eyes, while green eyes dazzle with similar undertones that are a bit deeper.

Don't be afraid to try a modern look with your eye shadow. Bright silver colors can look great and, without a doubt, have an exotic appeal. Try to match your scheme to your eye color or outfit and make sure you get good feedback before trying it on in public!

Finally, there are several techniques that you can use to correct the small flaws that you may see in the appearance of your eyes. If you think your eyes are too far apart, you can bring them closer by focusing on the inner corner of your eye. Apply more eye shadow to this area and blend for the rest of the eye. Eyes too close together can give the impression of distance by darkening the outer edges of the eye and keeping the inner corners clear. Again, be sure to mix the colors together so that the accent isn't obvious. If you want your eyes to look bigger, use a lighter eye shadow color.

Eye shadow is a great way to change up your look with an all-in-one product that is inexpensive and can be mastered by most people. Keep your eyes visible and you will get noticed!
