Finally, your darker contour shadow creates drama, definition, and intensity. Stay in the same family of colors as your midtone; just go deeper. Place this darkest shadow at the outer corner of the eye or in the crease, or use it as a soft liner.
Gilded goodness: Try a dot of silver or gold at the inner corners or on the center of the lid for a glittery good time. |
Color play: If you want to try a blue, green, purple, or burgundy shadow, don’t cover the whole eye area. Pinpoint one area, like the lash line or the lid, to avoid looking overdone. |
For softer definition, use an angle brush to sweep on dark eye shadow as a liner, or use your favorite shadow as a cake liner by wetting the brush. |
