The eye area is where you can have the most fun. But before the color selection,
mastering the basic technique is critical.
Once you master the
routine, you can be creative with just about any color and modulate their intensity
to create the desired aura.
Even the subtle shading on the brow bone area can help vary the look. For
example, cream, ivory, pearl, and pale peach are some of the options you can use to
create a range of emotions like warm to elegant to cool.
To update yesterday's browns, simply sweep a light shadow all over the lid
with your fingertip after your routine eye makeup. Your ring finger yields
the greatest control over the shading intensity.
Not all powder eyeshadows are made equal. The finer the grain, the longer
staying power. While powder shadows are the safest bet, some of
today's creamier formulas are Asian eyelid friendly too.
Best powder formulations:
* Awake
(nice color palettes)
* Chanel Shadowlights
(great updating shadows)
* Clinique
(for better browns)
* Estee Lauder CDs
(for just the right selection)
* Janet Sartin's refillables
(for true mattes)
* Lancome
(for Asian friendly color palettes)
* Ultima II
(for Asian friendly true mattes)
* Yves Saint Laurent
(for their finer grains)
For creamier formulations
* BeneFit's Creaseless Creme
* Clinique Smudgesicle
Creamy formulations are difficult to control on creaseless eyelids.
