Have you ever walked passed another girl and thought, "How did they make their eyeshadow look like that?" Well I have, many many times. It takes a girl years to master the art of makeup application, including blending eyeshadows. I'm a creature of habit, and I avoid using more than one eye shadow colour, because I can't blend...It's a harsh truth in the beauty world, but I admit it.

But, I have decided to learn how, I mean what kind of Beauty Guru can I be if I don't know the do's and don'ts or the whys or how to's of makeup application. So, today's blog covers Eyeshadow Tips that will help you with the basics to Eyeshadow Application.

Tip #1 This is most important, it really helps you know what to do to make your colours blend perfectly. First, you need to apply a light colored eyeshadow as your base over the entire lid, even all the way up to your brow bone. Next, you apply the main color shadow on your eyelid. Finally you can add the darkest colour in the crease of your eye, Always make sure your work from light to dark. Be sure to add sparingly to make it easier to blend. Make sure that your dakr colour only stays in the crease and not along the brow bone, then using a brush blend only on the outside edge. And if you have difficulties picking color coombinations, make it easy with:
