Eyeshadow for Beginners

July 2, 2018 No Comments

If you’re not someone who typically wears eyeshadow but wants to- look no further. When I worked at MAC I had SO many women come in looking for a few shadows to get them started that were easy to use. For the most part, there are about five colors that I think every person needs. Depending on your age, skin tone, and style, these colors may vary, but for the most part these will work for almost anyone! Where to buy shadows? I personally love Makeup Geek eyeshadows.

When I buy new makeup I want to buy the fun stuff. A new eyeshadow palette, that bold lip color, but setting powders? Not so much. That was until I discovered the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. This stuff, is a game changer. 1. The first way I use this powder is with a damp beauty blender to set my under eye concealer. I don’t necessarily “bake” in this area, but I do use quite a bit of the powder and press it into the skin. No matter how much I use it never looks cakey! This powder also […]
