Eye makeup is probably the area girls have the most trouble with. Here are some helpful tips on how to best apply eyeshadow:
- When applying eyeshadow, it is best to use a brush. Using the spongy applicator most come with can result in a lesser quality look. They can also absorb much more product, which wastes it in the end and when you’re paying $13 per eyeshadow, less is more!
We recommend: Bare Escentuals Tapered Eyeshadow Brush
- When applying the shadow, it is better to use a tapping movement than to slide the brush across the eyelid. Tapping the brush quickly against your lids in the places you want your shadow will apply it softly in layers until you get it to the intensity you want. It may take a few extra minutes, but the end result will be much, much prettier.

Hi Amber,
What a good idea to tap the eye shadow on instead of swiping it on. I bet that would also help prevent eye shadow flakes from falling on the face. Thanks!
Swiping make up on can cause wrinkles. I love the Jane Kabuki brush. It’s portable and works for putting on foundation too.

Awesome tip! I can always use help with the eyes! Now Ijust have to remember to tap!
I travel alot for my nursing job and have a stockpile of PROFESSIONAL permanent hair color. ( Enamels by Artec) ( in tubes ) The product is no longer available. There is no expiry date on the tubes and I have been told they could last forever. Is this true ? I would hate to throw them away….. it saves me tons of needed money to color my own hair. Thanks for your help !
Carol,
Haircolor, whether professional or box color from the store, will expire. It is best not to use color that is too old because it could have a reverse effect on your hair. For instance, a lady just the other day came into the salon and had used old color on her hair and it turned in bright purple.
Its not a good idea to use it, but you can always check with the company to see what they suggest.
I like your words
Thanks for good advice. I will take care of this in future when applying eyeshadow.
Eye makeup may be tricky, but with some practice.
