Your e/s application technique!

[Midgard]

Please tell me your e/s application technique, cause I love to get input and try out new things! I mean things like: do you apply your crease color first or last, do you blend with or without color on your blending brush, do you use any primer or base color and what are your favorite brushes! TY!

This is what I do:

*Apply my Beige-ing Shadestick from lashine to brow and blend with finger
*Then I apply my lid color blending it up into the crease (Either using my SK fluffy e/s brush for e/s or my MAC 242 for pigments)
*Then I apply my highlighter shade from crease to browbone (same brush as above, i just wipe it on a tissue to get rid of the previous color)
*Lastly, I apply my crease color and blend everything together (with my SK crease brush)
*And of course liner and mascara

Even if the look is more complicated or involves more colors, I still apply in the same order: lid, highlight, crease

I probably have the worst technique.

Which is why I am too embarassed to do a tutorial. haha

1. Line my eyes
2. Then apply the liner color, packing the color with my finger tips
3. Then apply the crease color, with my fingers then blend with a brush
4. Then apply my highlighting shadow and blend with a brush.
5. Then do lashes and eyebrows.

I have actually had decent accuracy packing on the color with my fingers...so I haven't changed much...I really need to use different types of brushes though.

hre's my technique - put my Urban Decay Primer Potion on lids - put lid color on with my 213- then crease color with my 219 and blend it out with my 217 - do the outer v with my 219 and blend with 217 again - highlight browbone and inner corners with my 213 and then line with whatever I choose to line with that day

Hope that helps!

i use my 217 for my base if it's s/s or paint; my finger if it's fluidline; i use either a 242, 236 or 252 to pack color on my lid, inner v, outer v,browbone. then i use my 217 again to put color in the crease; my 224 to finish blending all over the eye area....or something like that...

Apply a Paint as a base all over lid and up to the brow with my fingers, and smoothe it out it evenly with a brush.

Then I apply my highlight colour just underneath the brows with a small brush.

Next I apply colour to my lid up to the crease and on my bottom lashline and blend a little bit with the highlight with my 272 brush.

Then I apply my crease colour also with the 272 or the 222, or sometimes I don't even do a colour in the crease.

Finally apply eyeliner & waterliner (if I feel like it) and mascara on top & bottom lashes. Sometimes I curl my eyelashes before applying mascara if I have time.


***If working with pigments, I apply a "drop powder" on my cheeks underneath my eye which catches fall out, that I simply sweep away with a fluffy brush at the very end.

2. Lid color
3. Slightly darker shade/different shade on outer V
4. Crease Color
5. Lid color on blending brush, blend lid color into crease color in the inner V. Blend lid color into out V. Blend Outer V color into crease.
6. Tightline upper lid.
