Apply a shimmery or satin eyeshadow shade to the center of the eyelids

Applying a shimmery or satin eyeshadow shade to the center of the eyelid is a great way to add dimension and a pop of sparkle to your eye makeup. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this look:

Tools You'll Need:

• Shimmery or satin eyeshadow shade
• Flat eyeshadow brush or your fingertip
• Transition or crease shade (optional)
• Blending brush (optional)

Steps:

1. Prep Your Eyes:

   • Start with clean and well-prepped eyelids. You can apply an eyeshadow primer to enhance the vibrancy and longevity of the eyeshadow.

2. Apply Base Eyeshadow (Optional):

   • If desired, apply a matte transition or crease shade to the crease of your eyelid. This will help create a smooth transition between the shimmery center and the rest of the eyeshadow.

3. Select Your Shimmery Eyeshadow Shade:

   • Choose the shimmery or satin eyeshadow shade you want to apply to the center of your eyelid. This shade can be a complementary color to the rest of your eye makeup or a shade that contrasts for a pop of sparkle.

4. Pick Up Eyeshadow:

   • Use a flat eyeshadow brush to pick up the shimmery eyeshadow. Alternatively, you can use your fingertip, which can provide better control and intensity.

5. Apply to the Center of the Eyelid:

   • Gently press or pat the shimmery eyeshadow onto the center of your eyelid. Start near the lash line and work your way up towards the crease if desired. This method helps to pack on the color and maximize the shimmer effect.

6. Blend Edges (Optional):

   • To avoid harsh lines, gently blend the edges of the shimmery eyeshadow where it meets the matte shades. You can use a clean blending brush to soften the transition.

7. Layer for Intensity (Optional):

   • If you want a more intense shimmer, you can repeat the application process with another layer of eyeshadow.

8. Inner Corner Highlight (Optional):

   • For an extra touch of sparkle, you can also apply a bit of the shimmery eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eye.

9. Complete Your Eye Makeup:

   • Finish your eye makeup by applying eyeliner, mascara, and any other desired eye products.

10. Setting Spray (Optional):

    • If you want to enhance the longevity and intensity of the shimmery eyeshadow, you can spritz a setting spray onto a flat eyeshadow brush and gently press it onto the shimmery area.

Applying a shimmery or satin eyeshadow to the center of the eyelid draws attention to the eyes and adds a luminous effect. This technique works well for various eye looks, from natural to glamorous. Remember to have fun experimenting with different eyeshadow shades and finishes to create the desired impact.
