How to Make Dramatic Eye Shadow Work For You

Dramatic eye shadow is the latest trend in makeup. However, applying dramatic make up can be hard to do without looking clownish.

Professional make up artists warn clients against using too much dramatic makeup at the same time.

Dramatic eyeshadow makeup is not hard to apply if you remember a few basic rules. I can’t emphasize enough that balancing your make up is important to keep from looking too heavily made up. And I suggest that you save the dramatic eye shadow
techniques for nighttime wear as it can look too heavy for daytime.

I like to work with dramatic purple eyeshadow. My eyes are blue, so I can get away with this color. I suggest that you follow the basic rules on how to put on eyeshadow and then enhance your techniques in order to get a dramatic eye.

You should put on your dramatic make up in much the same way as your daytime makeup. The only real difference is that you will be using darker colors for dramatic makeup. There are a few differences in technique and I’ll discuss those with you.

Dramatic eyeshadow not only means darker, but it can also be sparkly or shiny. I like to use a glittery eyeshadow in a darker color for a dramatic eye makeup effect. You will need the same type of three-color selection for dramatic eye shadow that you had for your daytime look, only darker.

I suggest using a more pronounced brow bone highlighter color for dramatic eyeshadow than daytime eyeshadow. Also, I like to use the darker color across the lid as well as in the crease. To give a great touch to your dramatic eyeshadow, be sure to give the eyes a professional touch with some sort of eyeliner.

After you have applied your eyeshadow, use either the darkest color in the palette or eyeliner to line your eyes. This will give your eyes the ultimate dramatic effect and will look the most professional. I suggest using an angled brow brush or an eyeliner brush to apply the darkest eyeshadow color.

To apply dramatic eyeshadow eyeliner, I want you to use a wet brush. After you get your brush wet, dip it in the darkest color in your palette. Line your upper eyelid with this color. Don’t be afraid to be bold.

Using a softer brush, I want you to apply the darkest eyeshadow color to smudge under your eyes. Always remember that you can go bold on top, but you should smudge color on the bottom. Some people can apply a dramatic eyeshadow look completely around their eyes, but most can’t. I suggest that you experiment with colors and effects to see what’s right for you.

If you choose to use eyeliner to line your eyes, remember to use a sponge smudge applicator to smudge the liner on the lower eyelid. If you like, it’s fun to smudge the top also for a total smoky eye effect.
