this hack episode is all about I shadows

I always find it much easier to apply my I shows once my brows done that way i

have the shape there and I sort of have that clean area to work with so i

usually fill my eyebrows in before I apply any eye shadows

also it's really important to apply an eyeshadow base

you can either use concealer or an eyeshadow primer

this will help to knock out any of that some redness or discoloration in your

eyelids and also smooth out the area

once you have applied the concealer or the eyeshadow primer make sure you said

it with a translucent powder

this is going to help you blend the eyeshadow colors much better

the eyeshadows won't stick and grab onto any tacky areas so it's going to make

your blending very easy

now before you even start applying eyeshadow it's really important to

select the correct tools i recommend to have two brushes on hand

one a fluffy one for blending and another one that's not so fluffy it's

bit flatter and that wants to lay down the colors when choosing eyeshadow

colors i recommend to have three colors a transition shade a darker shade to add

depth and dimension

it also highlighting shade a good hack is to use a fluffy brush to apply the

transition shade first

this color is going to go into the crease and you're going to blend it

upwards once you're happy with that you can apply the darker color and using the

flat brush

we're going to Pat that into the deeper areas by using a patting motion you're

going to boot up the color and intensity

once you happy with the color go back to your fluffy brush and blend it out

you want to blend it in with your transition color now what if you don't

have a lot of eyeshadows and you don't have a transition color a good half of

that is you can use a blush

you can apply the transition color on top of the dark color to blend it out

and that's going to help create that nice smoky effect when it comes to the

lighter color or the highlight color I like to apply that into the inner corner

of my eyes and also in the center

if you don't have a highlighting shade but you have a highlighter you can

actually use this on your eyes

all you have to do is wet your brush to intensify any of the highlighting shades

if you want to make your eyes bigger using eyeshadows a good hack is to

really run that along your lower lash line and really diffuse it out

don't be afraid to bring that color down a bit further

this will help make your eyes look bigger what if you are a beginner and

you're pretty heavy-handed with your I shutters

you can use some translucent powder all you have to do is dip your fluffy brush

into some translucent power and running across your eye shadows

this will help blend and lighten up the color this next hack is great for those

of you who wanted to turn your eye shadows into eyeliner or you're going to

need is a mixing medium from mac and I've just got some eye shadow on my

palette and I'm just going to mix it in with mixing medium once combined you can

use this as eyeliner

now you can pretty much turn any of your eye shadows into eyeliner and lastly to

import any eyeshadow look you can just apply lashes here i'm using the ideal

glamour whiskey lashes so that's it is i had a hack episode i hope you guys have
