Have you ever visited a makeup store to buy eyeshadows but always returned empty-handed? There are so many types of eyeshadows that it’s easy to get confused. If you are wondering what kind of eyeshadow suits you and looking for tips on how to apply it, you’ve come to the right place.

Here is an ultimate guide to eyeshadow:

Selecting the right type for you

Pressed

A pressed eyeshadow is just powder that is pressed under pressure. If you have combination skin, use the Honeybee Gardens - Pressed Mineral Eye Shadow Singles Daredevil for your everyday look.

Loose powder

Ideal for people with oily skin, use this type of eyeshadow for an intense look. Use the Beauty Without Cruelty, Sensuous Mineral Eyeshadow, Loose, Obsession for a party look that is not only glamorous but also strong.

Cream

The SHANY Ultimate Fusion Eyeshadow Palette is the best cream shimmer eyeshadow palette ever. All the shades are highly pigmented, and cream eyeshadows blend the best.

Types of finishes

There are three types of finishes - matte, shimmer, and satin. Matte gives a natural look that works perfectly for an office look. Always use shimmer on the inner corners of your eyes to highlight them. Satin is for those who are looking for something that isn’t too matte or shimmery. It blends easily and gives a soft glow.

Tips to apply

• One of the first eyeshadow steps is applying a primer on your eyelids and letting it dry for five minutes before applying anything.
• Use a flat eyeshadow brush to apply the eyeshadow.
• The transition from a lighter to a darker shade at the crease of your eyelid and always smudge it with your lash line.
