How to apply eyeshadow/tips/basics ?
Sorry for the repost but I only received one decent answer last time I posted this:
Ok, so I’ve decided I want to start playing around with make up more, particularly eye shadow. I’ve never been very girly (until recently I magically had some kind of personality shift and dyed my hair pink and started wearing dresses every day) so I know pretty much nothing beyond the basics; foundation, powder, concealer, eye liner and mascara. Eye shadow looks like a fun accessory and a great way to express yourself. I’m ready to start slapping crazy colors on my lids but I want to do it right and make it look good ….
So, I’m here looking for some advice or tips on how to start out. I already know there are tons of tutorials on YouTube and I intend to watch them all. But I’m confused when it comes to what to buy :
1.) What kinds of eye shadow should I get? The powdered kind or the cream kind?
2.) What kinds of brushes do I need. The basics, not every single brush that does every single thing. I know there’s so many kinds; primers, crease filler-inner thingies, etc. If someone could just let me know 3 or 4 basic types of brushes that are useful for standard techniques.
3.) I have fair skin, brown eyes, and constantly changing hair color. What basic shades ( I don’t intend to buy a damn 180 shade palette when I don’t even know what I’m doing yet ) should I start out with? Neutrals? Metallics? Blues? Greens? Purples?????
Please don’t be vague and general and just say “cream shadow” or “MAC stuff is good”. I would greatly appreciate detailed advice or suggestions : brand names, specific types of brushes, specific types of shadows. Remember, this is for someone just starting out with eye shadow. If someone could just give me a list of a few basics I should buy, that would be awesome.
Thanks so much in advance!
