1. Keep it matte A matte shade keeps everything soft and seamless. 2. Choose a shade just slightly deeper than your skin tone This creates natural depth without looking heavy. 3. Use a fluffy but slightly dense brush It gives you control while still diffusing the edges beautifully. 4. Keep it neutral, especially if you’re a beginner Warm browns, taupes, or soft rosy-neutrals blend into most looks effortlessly. 5. Apply it a little higher than you think Placing it in and above the crease prevents the eyeshadow from looking heavy or droopy. 6. Blend it wider than the lid Taking it inward toward the nose and outward toward the temple creates lift and dimension. 7. Build slowly Light layers blend better and give you more control over the final shape. 8. Don’t skip it, even on “no eyeshadow” days A soft transition shade alone instantly lifts the eye and gives subtle structure. #eyeshadowtutorial #makeuptips #beginnermakeup #eyeshadowtips #transitionshade
