Mineral Eye Shadow Application Tips & Facts

Using mineral eye shadow can enhance your eyes and make them pop

No matter what the occasion, using mineral eye shadow can enhance one of your most prominent features: your eyes. Depending on the mineral eye shadow shade you use, you can make your eyes pop or draw attention to the shape of your eyes.

Mineral Eye Shadow Application Tips

The way you apply mineral eye shadow is just as important as the mineral eye shadow shade you choose.

• Prior to applying mineral eye shadow, use a little loose mineral powder on the eyelid as a base to help the mineral eye shadow stay on longer.
• Use a small makeup brush, like the Eye Shadow Makeup Brush, when putting on mineral eye shadow for easier application.
• Apply the darkest mineral eye shadow shade to the outer corners of the eyes from lash line to the crease.
• Use the light mineral eye shadow shade to then cover the entire eyelid.

Try using a dark mineral eye shadow color for nighttime events and a lighter, more natural mineral eye shadow shade during the day. For best results, select a mineral eye shadow color that complements your own eye color.

After you've applied your mineral eye shadow, top off your look by lining eyes with a mineral eye pencil and adding mascara to give your lashes extra fullness. 

About Mineral Eye Shadow

Mineral eye shadow, whether loose or pressed, is easy to apply and lasts all day. The reason pressed mineral eye shadow works best is because the mineral pigment is ground up to a smooth compressed powder, allowing for maximum coverage, long-lasting wear and easy application.

When creating a look for your eyes with your mineral eye shadow, remember that a darker shade of mineral eye shadow will cause an area to appear to recede while a brighter or lighter color will enhance or bring the area forward.  Often, it is best to purchase both a light and dark shade of mineral eye shadow so you can create different looks.
