beverlymills+FollowThe Eyeliner Trick That Changed My Eyeshadow GameAfter 5 years of fumbling with eyeshadow, I finally had a brainwave: What if I applied eyeshadow the way we apply eyeliner? Not blending blindly, not smudging in circles—but strategically, like shaping an eye. Think about it—eyeliner lifts, defines, reshapes. So why not treat your eyeshadow with the same intent? Start by mapping shadow like you would your eyeliner: Trace your upper lash line with a deep shade Extend slightly to lift the outer corner Build inward and upward with midtones and blends This instantly gave my eyes more structure—and for once, the shadow actually enhanced my eye shape instead of getting lost in translation. Even with minimal blending, the effect was more polished than anything I’ve tried before. I used to envy how beauty gurus magically had “dimension.” Now I know: it’s not magic. It’s placement. Try it. You might just unlock your “wait—I can do makeup” moment. #beauty #makeup #eyeshadowtips447Share
lowejessica+FollowWhy Your Eyeshadow Looks... InvisibleIt 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 #eyeshadowtips20Share
