The power of eyeshadow: 7 tricks to look younger

Smoked, according to the color of your eyes

Gray, bronze, blue or lilac tones are great for blue eyes, as in this case. Play with various intensities of this color and remember to also mark the lower part of the eyelashes with lilac or violet.

Bigger eyes?

Rejuvenate the look with pink tones in the middle part , a light beige in the tear duct and a gray in the outer part, blurred upwards.

Play with gloss and matte textures

Sophisticated your look with a touch of shimmer or shine . Apply a light shadow with this finish on the middle of the eyelid and bring the line to the upper part of the eyebrow. It will open your gaze. Work the darker, matte color on the outermost part of the eye.

A sophisticated look

For a festive look, darken the line and join it with the lashes below, but never reach the tear, the makeup would look very saturated. And of course, don't be shy about mascara!

Errors to avoid

Dispense with the primer. The eyelid primer or primer facilitates the blurring of the shadows, that they do not move and that they last much longer.
Colors "patch". Even if you use intense shadows, they cannot be "glob". They should blur and appreciate a color transition.
Abusing glitter. We have already said that a touch of shimmer or glitter is fine, but without overdoing it. If your skin is mature, it can enhance a drooping eyelid and fine lines.

This palette of shades of Urban Naked combines purple and violet tones that are trend this season with more neutral tones warm.

Cat eyes in the key of shadows

Cat eyes. You can achieve this effect without resorting to the super marked line of the eyeliner and with a more glam result.
The keys. Apply a gray shadow on the eyelid, joining the line of the outer corner of the eye with the lashes below. Above the eyelid, a darker shade will make the eye look more ragged. In the lacrimal, use a well-defined light shadow to bring light.

Very flattering day makeup

Smooth transition. Combining pinks and / or browns never fails. Choose three shades from the same range: a transitional medium (in the eye socket), a light one for the light points (tear and under the browbone) and a darker one to create depth (outer area of the eye) .
The ultimate trick. The subtle darker spot on the outside of the eye makes for a very flattering almond shape.

Catch the light in your eyes with roses and lilacs

Step by step. Apply the pink or lilac color (the transition color) in the eye socket, which you will join with the area under the lashes. Blend the contours very well, and apply a dark brown shadow to the outer area of the eye, which you will join again to the lashes below. Finally, put a light pink shadow all over the eyelid and trace the lower line of the eye again with this color.
Blurs and integrates. It is important that the colors blend very well so that the shadows blend seamlessly.

Basic brushes

If you are a beginner. The two brushes that cannot be missing from your toiletry bag are the "cat's tongue" (a little rounded), to apply shadow to the mobile eyelid, and the smudge or precision (its hair is very short), for the eyelid line lower.
Your best allies. The blurring brush (with longer and very flexible hair), which creates a homogeneous transition between the different shades; and the liner (super fine), for very concise lines or to use as an eyeliner.

You can also go for a stick eye shadow like this long-lasting one from Guerlain.
