Hey everyone today we're talking all about eye shadow and this is something
that I love it's something I'm passionate about I love teaching women
how to apply their eyeshadow so let's talk all about different application
techniques. First of all I don't have any eye shadow on, I have a little bit of
mascara and so I'm gonna do a tutorial in just a minute but when we
first talked about application I want to talk about foiling and what foiling is
is applying your eyeshadow wet versus dry so if you apply it wet it's called
foiling and what this does is it brings out the pigment a lot more heavy and
bright in your application whereas if you apply it dry it look tends to look a
little more sheer and not as bright or bold so depending on what you're wanting
you're going to apply it differently and so I'm going to do a dry application on
one eye and a foiled application on the other just so you can see there is a
major difference between the two. So I'm starting with residual this is my go to
base color and it's just a really good everyday color if you're not quite sure
what to buy I would start with residual just because it's really sheer but also
it looks really pretty so again this is dry application and I'm going to apply
this all over my eye. Now this color is light enough that you can carry it up
all the way under your brow and also use it as a highlight color to really
highlight this brow bone you can kind of see there just a nice shimmer. And I like
I said applied this through my whole eyelid and up under my brow.
So this was dry application and just gives me just a little bit of a nice
coverage but if I were to apply this wet, I'm gonna switch brushes. Same brush just
I'm gonna get this one wet so we're gonna use this one for this side. I'm
gonna spray it pretty heavily and instead of doing a swiping motion when
I'm foiling I tend to dab it on so you can see the color is a lot more heavy on
the brush and then I am going to, like I said I'm not swiping like I did on my
other eye I am dabbing it now since it is boiled and it is going on a lot
heavier I'm going to be careful about not carrying this one up under my brow
just because it's gonna be a little bit too bright for my liking but look at that
you can tell a major difference from a foil versus just dry application
and I applied them in the same spot so all through my eyelid I just did not
carry it up too heavily under my brow I'm gonna do just a little bit but I'm
swiping because I don't want it to be heavy whereas if I want the shimmer and
the bright pigment to show, I dab so that it's not it's not you know falling out
on the side it's it's staying right where I want it. So there you go you can
see the difference. It's a lot brighter on this eye and this color is really light
so once we get to the darker colors you will see there is a major difference
between foiling and just dry application. The next color I'm grabbing is "Spoiled",
this is a good peachy color and I'm going to focus this color on the middle
to outer corner of my eye.
Really light, it's really pretty. You might not be able to tell very well on
camera again this is applied dry so it's really light it's not going to look too
crazy or too bright even though I'm adding more color.
So there's that and now I'm gonna grab my other eye shadow brush that I've been
using that's been sprayed at the misting spray and you'll be able to tell a lot
more of a difference here. So again focusing on the outer two-thirds.
You can see it's holding the color a lot more when it's applied with the misting
spray.
I think there's a time in a place for both of these looks and both of these
application methods but you can definitely tell this size looking a
little bit more prominent, and again I kept this color under my crease on the
outer two-thirds of my eye. Okay, there's just a basic, this would be a good
everyday look and if I wanted to maybe dress it up or typically what I will do
even if I'm not going out or I'll add a little bit of a darker color just to
kind of shape my eye and so I have determined here it's a good brown color
of it on my brush, dry brush. And I'm gonna focus it just on the outer corner
and down into my lash line.
And maybe just a little bit up into my crease but what I like about applying
that eyeshadow dry is that it is really forgiving you can always correct what
you're doing, especially when you're working with dark colors. But see that
just kind of shapes the eye a little bit gives me a little bit more definition
and then you guys will really see here with the foiled application that it it
makes it a lot darker and a lot more I'm noticeable. And so if you're going to
apply dark colors foiled I recommend that you start slow and try really hard
to be precise in your application because it is harder to correct if you
get it where you don't want it. So again I'm gonna apply just the outer corners
down into my lashline you can see there it's definitely a lot darker.
Look at that and it's harder to blend too, so I'm definitely going to need to blend
this, so I get my blending brush but you can see look at that! Oh, it might look a
little scary and that's when you get your blending brush but if you look at
the application they look very different and it's simply just because it's foiled
versus unfoiled and maybe a better
demonstration would be to show you this way. So look, this is "Determined", just a
really good brown color. See then if I were to foil the brown "Determined" color,
check this out, I'll do it up here. Such a difference and the colors really look
different too!
so I always recommend if you have it
more an eye shadow before start with maybe a regular dry application and then
move into more foiling once you get a hang of it and once you kind of find an
application that you like and colors and shadows you like. But look there's the
difference and I really worked to blend out this brown but looks a lot different
and you can just see I think you can notice the biggest difference in that
residual it really opens up my eye and brightens it whereas over here this is
just a really good natural look. So day to day maybe more of a night look add
some eyeliner if you like eyeliner but there's just a big difference in how you
apply your savvy it makes it it makes all the difference in the world so if
you have questions comment below. I hope this was helpful and have a good day!
