Ok so you probably have heard the statement you should blend your eye shadow but not really understand why. Today we are going to be explaining Why you should blend your makeup
Make up that has not been blended properly will not stay in place and will smudge and come off easier. It also does not look great especially in photo’s and up close. You may be one of the thousands of people who don’t realise the importance of blending you make up properly, the reason movie stars and pop stars look so glamorous is because they have some one to do it for them who are skilled at just that, that doesn’t mean you need to go to college to learn how to do it as it is fairly simple.
Face
When applying your foundation unless you want to look like you are wearing a mask it is important to start from the base of the neck and work up moving from one side of the face to the other blend you foundation blend round the ears and the hair line making sure no lines are visible , pay particular attention around the nose and eyes. If you are young contouring agin make sure the areas are seamless.
Eyes
Blending in eye shadow is not quite as straight forward as all eye shapes are different, so there are certain ways to blend eye shadow that are specific to each eye shape For instance, if you have deep set eyes, blending a darker coloured shadow into the crease is not ideal. As this will only highlight how deep your eyes are. Stick to lighter, more natural-looking coloured shadows, especially under the eye brow. If you have almond shaped eyes, blending the eye shadow in the crease is alright, but don’t blend it higher than then natural fold. Tis will ensure your makeup looks seamless, not exaggerated. When blending your eye shadow in use a good quality makeup blending brush using small outward circular moves keep going until you can not see any lines and all the colours and edges are seamless.
Type and Texture
When it comes to eye shadows as there are lots types of finishes and textures. From frosty and sparkly, to matte and cream, there are specific blending techniques for each. If your eye shadow has a frosty finish, limit it to the lid only and blend with a flat shadow brush for more impact. If it’s sparkly, blend in the crease only. For cream eye shadow you can be more liberal with the blending, especially if the shade is a natural one. Blend with your finger starting on the lid, all the way up the brow bone.
So now you know how and Why you should blend your makeup
