Eye shadow application?

I have large brown eyes with brown hair and average (not real dark or real fair) skin. Do you know of any websites or have any advice on the type of application technique or colors I should use?Eye shadow application?
Before you Start


Always apply makeup to clean skin (follow the routine appropriate for your skin type).





Make sure you have all the appropriate makeup tools and products you need.





Use a magnifying mirror to check your blending





Eyeshadow


All of the options for building an eye design are too numerous to list here. The following is a basic application that can be adapted to create a variety of looks:





Typically, the lightest color is applied to the entire eyelid and to the edge of the eyebrow. (The general rule is that the larger or more prominent the eyelid area is compared with the under-brow area, the darker or deeper the eyelid color can be; the smaller the eyelid area is compared with the under-brow area, the brighter or lighter the eyelid color can be.) Select a deeper color from the same or a complementary color family to shade the crease. Practice your application and blend well; the goal is not to have obvious edges of color. Remember, lighter colors bring things forward and highlight, dark colors recede and add depth and shading.





Eyeliner


Position the brush, pencil, or applicator as close to the lashline along the eyelid as possible. Then draw a line from the inner to outer corner using one fluid stroke, following the curvature of the eyelid. As a general rule, do not extend the line past the outer corner of the eye or hug the tear duct area of the eye. At first, keep the line as thin as possible, and if a thicker line is desired, repeat the process either across the entire lash line or simply on the outer third of the lid along the lashes.





Generally, the line along the lower lashes should be thinner and a less-intense color than the upper liner. Make sure that the two lines meet at the back corner of the eye. As a general rule, the larger the eyelid area, the thicker and softer the eyeliner should be. The smaller the eyelid area, the thinner and more intense the liner should be.





For health reasons, avoid lining the rim of the eye.





Eyebrow Shaping


Use a color that closely matches the color of your brows rather than your hair color or a color you think would look better than what already exists. Apply powder brow color using a wedge brush, working in the direction the hair grows. Use a light touch, with short, quick motions, and avoid the temptation to exaggerate the shape of the brow by arching it severely or extending the brow into the temple area.





Mascara


If you use a lash curler, it is best to use it before you apply mascara. Squeeze gently with even pressure. Hold for a few seconds as you “walk” the curler along the length of the eyelashes, and release slowly. Apply mascara to the upper lashes using long, sweeping strokes. Be sure to begin as close to the lash root as possible and brush up and out. Use an old, cleaned-up mascara wand to remove any clumping that occurs.





Apply mascara to the lower lashes by holding the wand perpendicular to the eye and parallel to the lashes (using the tip of the wand). If necessary, use a tissue to wipe excess mascara off the brush before applying to the lower lashes.





FOR THE COLORS:





Natural is best!


If you are just hanging out and not doing anything special, natural is the better way to go! YOu also don't have to spend 40 minutes in front of the mirror doing make-up every day!


If it is a special occasion, like prom, a wedding, darker make-up is ok!

you have so many options! you can wear anything you want. lucky...





go with colors that compliment your skin tone, whether it is ruddy or yellow, olive...warm tones go best with yellow or olive, cool colors go best with ruddy or red/pink/blue undertoned skin.





i can give you lots of techniques if you could give a little more info..such as the shape of your eyes, and how they are spaced.
