How to Apply Eyeshadow That Lasts All Day

1. Begin by applying your liquid, cream foundation or tinted moisturizer to entire face including eyelids
2. Powder entire face with pressed, translucent or blotting powder making sure to use a smaller brush to powder eyelids
*If you are not wearing foundation, you can also apply an eyeshadow primer to eyelids instead
3. Swirl your eye shadow brush in powder eyeshadow
4. Tap brush over a counter or sink to remove excess and avoid it falling onto your face
5. Dab eyeshadow onto eyelids in a pressing motion, going from outside corner to inside corner making sure to extend slightly above eyelid crease
6. Repeat step 5 several times until optimal color intensity is achieved
7. Now begin blending the color by going in small circular motions across the eyelid again from outside corner to inside
8. Finish blending by now moving the brush from outside to in as if you were drawing a rainbow or half moon slightly above the eyelid crease where eyeshadow ends
9. Continue steps 8 and 9 until color looks well blended
10. Remove excess eyeshadow around eyelids with cotton swab and from face with a dry makeup sponge
11. Voila, your eyeshadow will last all day!
