Eyeshadows: Which to Choose?
→ Powderedshadows:
The most widespread type of shadow.
They are compressed in solid form into palettes and are very practical since with one palette we have many options. They spread very nicely withbrush made of natural bristles.
→ Powder Eyeshadows:
There are matte and shimmery powders to give life to our basic makeup. Besides using them classically in powder form, we can mix a small amount of shadow with water and place it on the eyelid, fixing it with our finger.
→ Creamy Shadows:
They are in cream and gel form. They have a great effect on the eyelid but easily create unattractive lines, especially when it’s hot, so we often have to correct them during the day. A solution is to create a base with dry shadows for durability and apply the gel shadows in the center of the eyelid or in the inner corner of the eye. It spreads better with a synthetic bristle eye brush or with fingers.
→ Eyeshadow Pencils:
We apply the shadow directly to the eyelid and spread it with our fingers. An excellent solution to carry it in our bag since it’s in a non-opening and non-melting packaging.
→ Liquid Shadows:
They are in gloss form, contained in a tube with an applicator and are very easy to apply. However, like the creamy ones, they create unattractive lines on the eyelid so before applying them we could use primer.
They can be applied either directly on the eyelid for a cooler look, or over our shadow, dropping a drop in the center of the eyelid.
