How to Apply Black Eyeshadow

Step 1

Prime your lids with a reliable eye shadow primer. I’m using elf eye lid primer. This is to make sure the eye makeup lasts long without creasing all day until you decide to remove it off.

Step 2

Use a lack kohl pencil all over the lid. I have used a non water proof gel liner as a base.

Step 3

Blend the harsh edges that the base has. I have used a crease brush for this purpose

Step 4

Apply a black eye shadow all over the base you’ve just applied to intensify the base. I have used a black shade with shimmer.

Step 5

Apply gel liner to the lower lash line and blend it with the same black shadow as well to smoke it out but remember be careful not to bring the shadow far down.

Step 6

Pick up a chocolate brown shade and lend it in the crease to crease depth and also bring warmth to the look.

Step 7

Highlight your brow bone and the inner tear duct to bring light. I have used a matte nude shade for this.

Step 8

With a blending brush, blend out the lack shade outside your lid than you normally would. According to her look, it seems like it’s brought out far. Finish off the look with mascara and that’s it. I wouldn’t go for falsies as they would anyway get lost in the lack but it’s your preference.
