Eye Shadow Do’s and Don’ts

Are you not sure if you’re applying eye shadow the right way? Here are some must-know eye shadow do’s and don’ts. Eye shadows not only enhance the shape of the eye but also accentuate them.

Remember the golden rule of blending
When wearing more than one shade, make sure that the colors blend seamlessly.

When wearing a smoky eye, there is a fine line between sexy and looking like “someone punched into your face”. Make sure that you don’t cross the line. In case of smokey eyes little is more.

When using eyeshadow use the lightest shade under the brow bone to highlight it. Then apply the medium shade to the eyelid area, and accentuate the eyelid crease with the darkest shade.

While neutral colors like beige, chocolate, toffee looks great on all eye colors, caramel and gold shades make your eyes look very stunning and sizzling.

Go for rich creams lotions and masks.
Winter skin needs more moisture and hydration, so slather on a heavier moisturizer that have a more oilier and heavy consistency. If you need deep cleansing use a creamy face mask that gently exfoliates and moisturises all in one.

Dont forget to use SPF.
UV rays are just as damaging in the winter as they are in the summer, you need atleast SPF 15 every day. If it snows in your place then you must know sunrays reflected off the snow are more intense so sun protection is a must
