Step 1: Preparing the Lashes

Bare Eyelids

Technique:
First of all, if there is any oil, cream or old makeup on the eyelids, it is important to clean it completely. On clean eyelids, makeup looks smoother and lasts longer. Apply a little moisturizer, but not too much, otherwise the eyeshadow may slip.

Products and Tools:
mild face wash
Light, oil-free moisturizer
cotton pad or tissue

Step 2: Applying Eye Primer

Technique:
Eye primer acts as a foundation for the eyes. Take a very small amount with your finger and spread it over the entire eyelid by patting gently. Primer makes eyeshadow look more pigmented and doesn’t settle into creases.
