Trickle Down Application?

[Diviniti]

Greetings All~

Just a general question:

I have been putting on my eyeshadows from the brow to the lid...for YEARS! After looking through some other websites, and especially the tutorials here, I have noticed that many people apply their eyeshadow in the opposite direction.

Is there an advantage either way? What are the pros and cons of each?

i've always done it from lid to brow.. whatever works best for you go with it! =)

Yep, I've always gone from lash line, up. Whatever works.

I voted both way, cos if I use a highlighter under the browbone I start under the brow blending it to the lid. If I want a color on my lid, I start there.

It's all about where you want the color to be bold and where being blended. And I rarely apply one e/s on the whole lid anyway

Hmm.. I guess I always start at the lid, b/c I always begin with bare canvas as a base.

Lash line up for me

i actually dont do either really. i do lid, then brow bone, then crease! i do it that way so that it blends inbetween better

I don't really do from the brow to the lid but often times I will start with my highlighter color first and then go back to the bottom of the lid. Sometimes I even work from the outter corners in or inner to the outter.
