If you tilt your head back slightly, you will get that nice flat surface and be able to gauge where you are placing your eye shadow and where you want it to stop.įor the gradient eye shadow (you can also think of this as an ombré eye shadow), you’ll want two eye shadow colors – one lighter, maybe a shade darker than your skin tone for a natural look, and one darker, a dark brown works here, and this is the one that will help make your eye “pop” and create a smoky eye look. The benefit of having a monolid is that you can keep your eye open as you apply your eye shadow. This will draw your eye shadow up, from your lash line to underneath your brow bone (or where a crease would be if you had one). Instead of a window washer movement (side to side, left to right), you will use an upward and small circular motion moving towards the outer corner of your eyelid. The key thing to know about this eye shadow technique is your eye shadow brush movement. I find it’s super easy to do though it does require some dedicated time to do all of the blending. For this How To, I am going to discuss the gradient eye shadow technique. Instead, I will jump right to eye shadow application. Next I usually do my brows but since brows can be super personal in regards to shape, desired thickness, etc. I actually do not do this (even though I’m telling you to! Lol) and have never experience creasing or folding of my eye shadow but apparently it can happen. This can be done by lightly sweeping a loose and/or translucent powder over your eyelid. It’s also a good idea to set your primer so there’s no creasing when you apply your eye shadow. You’ll want to apply a thin layer over your entire eyelid. My favorite eye shadow primer is Urban Decay Primer Potion. Primer helps create a smooth, even foundation for the rest of your eye makeup, and it also ensures that your eye shadow will “pop” and last through the entire day. The first thing about eyes, especially for monolids, is primer.
I won’t go into my CC cream, blush, and highlighter routine here, but instead I’ll focus on the eyes, something that’s sadly taken me my entire life to learn.
My entire makeup routine takes about 12 minutes, with eye makeup taking up a good portion of that time.

However, I will share some eye shadow application prep and application tips that will hopefully help you as you put together your eye makeup look.įor me, on a work day, I pretty much always do some sort of eye makeup – brows and mascara are bare minimum, that plus eye shadow is more typical. First let me acknowledge that what I may think of as “everyday eye makeup” may not be what you want for your daily routine. I’m definitely no makeup artist, however I do have some tips and tricks for everyday makeup application that I’ve learned along the way. Today’s post is by Wendy Laybourn this is a followup (requested by me) to her earlier #MakeupMonday post, Finding My Asian-American Mirrors.
