First of all, regardless of the formula, always apply an eyeshadow primer first. I apply powder with a brush unless it’s a shimmer or metallic, which I usually apply with my fingertips and blend out with a brush.Īlthough this is the simplest look known to man, there are some helpful tips to make it easier without sacrificing the look. Most of the time, I’m wearing a powder shadow just because it’s the most prevalent on the market. If you make a mistake with powder, it’s pretty easy to turn it into something good, which can’t be said for other shadow formulas. I use powder shadows most of the time because they’re the easiest to blend and can give you a variety of looks. To apply a cream shadow, either use your finger or a synthetic brush to apply to the lid. Mattes are great bases, while a metallic cream shadow can look really pretty with just one swipe. Creams come in matte and shimmer, and each has its place in my collection. Cream eyeshadows typically have a long wear and don’t crease, so they make a really good base for other shadows too. If I need my eyeshadow to last for a long time, I’ll use a cream. To apply, you can either use the applicator and then blend out with a brush, or you can put a little on the back of your hand and apply with a brush (If it’s a glitter, I would definitely recommend just using the applicator so you don’t get glitter all over your hands). No more dipping into a pot and getting glitter all over your face. This is my favorite formula for very glittery, textured shadows because it really shows all of that dimension and applies it in an even way.
