There was always a lot of doubt about the use of shadows in makeup without leaving the look outdated or even tacky. A good way out is the use of a duo of shadows, in which the colors are always in harmony.
Usually the duos bring a light color and a darker one, to never go wrong in the preparation of the make, always apply the lighter shade in the inner corner of the eyes (eyelid), leaving the dark for the outer corner. To apply, use the sponge brush that comes with the cartridge (applicator brush), as the eyeshadow will hardly come off the brush and compromise the finish of the skin below the eyes.
After applying the eyeshadow, try to make a gradient in the middle of the eyelid. Remember that the makeup is sophisticated as the gradient in the middle of the eyelid is well done. Blend the transfer line to not leave the make up. Ready! Is there anything simpler than working with a duo of shadows and making the look amazing?
There are also trio options, which always bring an intermediate color, one dark and another illuminating, which is the lightest of them all. The use is the same, that is, leave the intermediate color for the inner corner of the eyes, the dark for the external and the lighter, illuminating, for under the eyebrows, which lifts the look and brightens the face.
The quartets, on the other hand, bring two intermediate colors, in addition to a dark shadow and an illuminator. The two intermediate colors serve to vary the look, that is, you can create your makeup every day, with the same quartet. The basic rule remains: always leave the light color in the inner corner of the eyes! Notice that the colors of an eyeshadow quartet are always in harmony, so it’s hard to go wrong when doing a make-up. If you have more skill, you can mix colors and effects.

How to match colors?
A great tip to never go wrong when choosing eyeshadow colors: for dark and black skin, prefer warm colors like pink, copper, gold, etc. For fair skin, cool colors like blue, purple and green look much better. Of course, makeup is art and that’s why you can leave this rule aside from time to time and dare to be creative!
