EyeToppers Duo

Without a proper base, your eye shadow look, no matter how beautifully applied, will be fleeting. Make-up artists stress the importance of doing prep work before opening your palette, specifically using a primer to make your eye shadow last. Apply a thin layer of primer with your ring finger, a Q-tip, or a small flat brush. If you want to effectively prevent colour from travelling to places it shouldn't, apply it all the way up to your brow bone and even beneath the lower lash line. In general, silicone-based primers will work well with most eyeshadows and skin types, but if you're working with a powdery eyeshadow, look for more liquid formulations.

Whatever your eye colour, flesh-toned and neutral shades will either suit you or serve as a good base for other colours you may want to layer on top. But suppose you want to bring out the natural colour of your eyes by experimenting with shimmers, accents, or a monochrome shade buffed over the lid. Most colours are flattering on those with brown eyes, but golds and purples are especially so. Blue eyes stand out against oranges, champagnes, and terracottas, while green eyes are at home in muted browns, greys, and mauves. If you have grey eyes, however, you should use similar colours: silvers, stormy blues, or even a smoky black.

We have a simple method for turning pared-down, everyday eyeshadow looks into the life of the party. You'll never have to go home to do your makeup again; simply slip a palette into your bag and add some extra glitz to elevate your look after work. Choose the 'Pop' shade from my luxury palette, which has a versatile shimmer that can be used all over the eyelid. Apply this shimmery shade with your finger to the middle of your eyelid, and it will bring out your eyeshadow and look in a single easy step. We recommend using a smudging brush to apply colour to your lower lash line for a little extra oomph. This added colour will create a smoky effect, which you can emphasize with kohl or liquid eyeliner for a quick, gorgeous smoky eye for the evening!

With petroleum jelly or a lip balm, it becomes sticky enough for the glitter to adhere. Then, all you need to do is grab a face brush, dip it in glitter and gently dab it onto your face.

Sparkle eyeshadow is also known as glitter eyeshadow, which is popular to achieve a flawless and glamorous look. The shimmery glitter gives a very smooth coverage with a subtle shimmer to add a touch of sparkle to your eyes.
