How to Get More Sexy Effects From ONE Eye Shadow!

You can easily amplify your beauty and get multiple looks from  practically any color with this little tip.

With all the beautiful eye shadows out there, it is hard to resist those tempting shades of shimmering, metallic, or matte colors.  After all, the pigments we chose can dress our eyes as magnificently as fine jewels when the right products are in our hands. However, you don’t necessarily need tons of different shades or palettes to pull off several looks.  Instead, you can still create quite a few gorgeous effects with one eye shadow–-only by changing the application and the brushes you use.

For example, if you want a soft, daytime look, then take a dry, fluffy long-bristled eye shadow brush and dust the eye shadow from your lashes to the creases, blending until the pigment is practically sheer as you work your way further up on the eye.

Of course, you could want a more dramatic eye for nights using that one cosmetic. All you need to make that happen is to slightly dampen your brush before swiping over your eye shadow.  You’ll get stronger, bolder color since a bit of water intensifies the pigment.

With the help of a shorter-bristled eye shadow brush that has some stiffness to the bristles, you can even do more with the one eye shadow.  This type of brush, using some of that moistened shadow, gives you that needed control for lining the eyes and providing the definition you want.

This Handy Beauty Fix Will Save You From Starting Over When You Overdo Your Eye Shadow Or Blush

Why start over when you can simply repair your makeup mistake?

Sometimes, it is easy to simply apply too much eye shadow.  Whether you were trying to replicate a new look or just fiddling around with those beautiful colors of a new palette you just bought, most of us experienced this problem at one time or another. Earlier, I gave a tip of how to repair the damage without removing your makeup using a beige shimmer shadow.  However, here is another excellent way that you may like even more as a save.

All you need is to grab a cotton ball and dip it into your loose powder.  Lightly tap the excess powder off in the lid or on a tissue so it doesn’t fall in your eyes first before gently blending the color into the area.  This won’t smear your work and will soften that undesired darkness very nicely.  Use more loose powder if you need it lighter.  

When you accidently go overboard with too much blush, loose powder can also come in handy.  Dip your brush in some loose powder and blend over the problem is all it takes to tame a wild, strong color.
