Picture this. Your morning eye makeup routine consists of one neutral shadow color that you quickly swipe on from lash line to crease and then you apply some mascara. Done, that’s it. Nothing special. Sound like you?
#1. The Watercolor Effect. Take a champagne shimmery shadow (best if it’s got a little glow to it for this technique to make an impact), like L’oreal Infallible shadow in “Iced Latte” and apply it right in the center of your eyelid on top of your neutral shadow. Don’t go all over the lid with this shade, just keep it nice and tight in the middle of the lid. Then take that same lighter shade and trace the V shape of your tear duct area with it. It’s like your shadow goes from dark to light to dark to light, creating a blended watercolor like effect. You can really do this with any other base color which gives the same fun and bright eyed lid look!
