How to Apply Eyeshadow

Now that your eyeshadow palette is picked out, you can focus on how to apply eyeshadow.

  • Set the base color by sweeping a light shade over lids from lash line to crease.

  • Highlight brow bones with a neutral shimmery shade starting from the inner corner and moving outwards.

  • Add contrast by blending a deep shade into creases.

  • Using your favorite pencil eyeliner or liquid eyeliner, draw a thin line along the base of your lashes. For a smokey effect, gently smudge the liner. Try Neutrogena Smokey Kohl Eyeliner.

  • Complete the look with your favorite mascara. Try Hydro Boost Plumping Mascara.

And that’s all there is to it! Don’t forget to tag your eyeshadow looks with #Neutrogena.
