i've decided it's time that i use the hundreds of eyeshadows i own, so i started experimenting with them tonight and found that it ended up looking MESSY, like i was unable to control the power and it just flew everywhere - i couldn't limit it to one spot. i always tap my brushes off, but still it didn't look nice and clean.
 i wanted to achieve something like this girls: http://boldlooks.com/db2/00190/boldlooks.c.../SmokeyEye2.jpg ... nothing too dramatic.

Your powder could be "flying everywhere" because you're not using an eyeshadow base. Eyeshadow base helps your shadow stick to your eye, making the colour more intense and making the shadow last longer as well. If you have non-oily lids, using just a cream eyeshadow or even eyeliner can work wonders on a crappy eyeshadow that isn't pigmented.
I highly, highly recommend Urban Decay Primer Potion, though, if you have oily lids and experience creasing. The girl in the picture looks like she used a medium-dark gray colour all over her lid up to her crease, a dark, almost black colour right in the outer corner and slightly into the crease, and a light shimmery shade on her browbone and the inner corner. And of course eyeliner. What brushes are you using? |
