Does it seem like you only use one color in an eye shadow trio? Stop wasting the other colors! Break out of your everyday makeup rut and learn to apply all three on one eye!

Step 1: Pick Eye Shadows

Choose a light… medium and dark shade of the same color family.

The light shade is for the lid. The medium color is for the crease. The darker color for the lash line.

Step 2: Your Shape

If you have round eyes and sockets, concentrate shadow on the outer edges but don’t go 80’s and do a cat eye. You want a crescent shape.

For those with less of a crease, blend the medium shadow across the eye, creating a deeper crease.

For almond-shaped eyes, keep the medium tone near the lash line.

Step 3: The Medium Eye Shadow

After applying a thin layer of foundation or eye shadow base, place the medium colored shadow into your crease. With your brush, blend back and forth.

Step 4: The Light Eye Shadow

Using your brush, place shadow onto the lid, under the crease shadow and all the way to the lash line.

Step 5: The Dark Eye Shadow

With a flat shadow brush, line your eyes with the darkest shade. Blend.

Finish with a coat of mascara.

Done.

    xocxnxtox, I have almost completely hooded eyes, I'm caucasian. I haven't attempted eye shadow yet (just starting to wear makeup at 27!) so I'm concerned it won't be worth doing. I do wear eye liner and smudge it so it helps define the eye. I tried looking for youtube videos and looked here for hooded eye shadow tutorials but didn't find much. Good luck!

    this look is very hard for me to create though because I barely have an eyelid. I mean I have an eyelid but I have almost hooded eyes and I'm 16. That's just how my mom and dads eyes are and I'm not asian. My crease is hard to define because eyething hangs over and I have very high eyebrows in comparison to where my eye starts so all I can really do is blend dark colors up towards my eyebrows and then highlight. even when I close my eye the lid is very small and about the size (from lashline to crease) of a width of a pinky. I don't know what to do. I wish I had large defined eyes with eyelids that stood out
