Of course, if you’re new to this bold beauty staple, it can feel a little overwhelming when it comes to learning how to properly blend your eyeshadow.

From primer to brushes to the actual eyeshadow itself, you can find everything you need for the perfect eyeshadow looks at Elizabeth Mott. But, now that you have all your favorite products in order, where do you start?

Perfect Eyeshadow Application

Well, the first step to applying your eyeshadow and creating your perfect bold eyeshadow look is a great primer. Elizabeth Mott’s Thank Me Later Eyeshadow Primer is perfect for prepping your eyes for the bold color of your choice. This eye primer is the key to making your eyeshadow look last all day, no matter what you have happening in your schedule. It’s known for its quick-drying qualities and allows the eyeshadow to go on smoothly and easily. On top of that, it actually enhances the color of your eyeshadow, allowing for your look to appear even brighter, better, and bolder.

The next step is to make sure you have the right tools for application. This means brushes! There are actually specific brushes that are great for applying and blending your eyeshadow, and in order to do so perfectly, it’s important to have both. For right now, let’s focus on the All Over Shadow Brush. This incredibly soft eyeshadow brush will make it easy to apply your eyeshadow without missing a spot. It will ensure that your color is completely even. When you get to blending, you’ll also want to make sure that you have Elizabeth Mott’s Eyeshadow Blending Brush on hand.

The last step to applying your eyeshadow is to pick your eyeshadow color! Elizabeth Mott’s Natural Eyeshadow Palette comes with five natural colors: Nearly Nude, Basically, Golden Brown, Fizz, and Thunder Cloud. Each of these colors is extremely blendable and buildable so you’ll be able to create the look you’ve been dreaming of with ease. Apply the eyeshadow by finding the crease of your eye and covering your entire lid with your base color. Apply the second color on top, and then you’re ready to start blending!

How To Blend Eyeshadow?

Now that you’ve applied your eyeshadow, it’s time to blend it for that perfect bold or smokey eye look. The first step to blending your eyeshadow is to make sure you have that Blending Brush ready to go. This brush is absolutely perfect for buffing and blending your eyeshadow. This brush is also incredibly easy to wash, and will not shed, so it will last you as long as you need it to.

To start blending your eyeshadow colors, take your Blending Brush and carefully blend the two colors together using a quick back and forth motion similar to a windshield wiper through the crease of your eyelid. This will create a seamless flow between the two colors and the perfect bold or everyday look. Next, go back to that crease of your eye and blend that color as well. From here, simply repeat those two steps until you have the look you’re going for, and for each color, you’ve applied to your lids!
