Why Your Eyeshadow Looks... Invisible

It took me five years to realize: if your eyeshadow looks like it’s doing nothing—it probably is. Here’s the problem: most of us apply color without understanding our orbital bone. That’s your true canvas. If you go too high, the shadow floats. Too low, and it disappears. Close your eyes. Feel that curved ridge from the outer corner to the inner socket? That’s where your base color should stop. 👉 Step 1: Use a medium-toned shadow (not too sheer, not too bold) to fill the orbital zone. Think of it as your “scaffold.” 👉 Step 2: Work with gradient depth—light on top, medium in the middle, darkest near the lash line. 👉 Step 3: Add structure. Definition lives in the details: Soft lashline liner A lower lash shadow flick Highlighted aegyo-sal (puffy eye bag) Lifted corner accents Even with soft colors, structure = power. #beauty #makeup #eyeshadowtips
