As a Naples makeup artist I get asked all of the time what is the best way to do your eyes when you have a little more time. I constantly get asked how to do makeup with the three color shadow method: This involves a light shadow, medium shadow and dark shadow of the same color family. As mentioned before in the cat eye demonstration, there is a basic placement for each shadow color that makes any eye slightly pop and look more ravishing.
Let's say we're using shades of brown for a basic, prime look during the day. For example, let's take a chocolate, caramel and white shadow. Follow these steps:
1. Always use a shadow primer or skin colored cream shadow first all over the eye lid and slightly above the crease before applying shadow. This not only brings out the true colors of your shadows, but it also keeps the product fresh longer and eliminates that yucky crease look!
2. Take the caramel and place on the lid. JUST on the lid.
3. Place the white shadow just under the brow and slightly above the crease. This creates a gap between the caramel shadow on your lid and the white shadow under the brow (which is where you will place the darkest shadow, chocoloate).
4. Starting from the inside corner of the crease and blending outward, place the chocolate in the crease slightly past the outer corner of the eye.
5. Blend as needed
It's as simple as that! When I am asked how to do makeup, especially eye makeup, I tell people to practice with their specific eye shape and see what looks best for them. No eye is the same and there are different ways to do every shape.
