Want your eyeshadow to blend easily?

If you love wearing bold eyeshadow colors, or dark smokey eyes but have a hard time getting them to blend then try the following trick:

  1. Pick out an eyeshadow that is very similar to your skin color.
  2. Make sure it is a satin or matte finish, and has no frost, shimmer or sparkle to it.
  3. Apply this eyeshadow color from your lid all the way up to your brow bone. You shouldn’t notice much difference in color from your own skin.
  4. Now you have created a smooth powdery base on which to blend your other eyeshadows without compromising the colors.
