Applying eyeshadow from scratch can be a bit confusing, but once you know the basics, you can easily get started.

Here are some tips for applying eyeshadow with zero foundation:

1. Preparation: Choose an eyeshadow palette suitable for beginners, preferably one with neutral tones, as these colors are easier to match. First, make sure your eyelids are clean, using eye makeup remover and face cleanser.

2. Tool preparation: Soft Eyeshadow Brush: A large brush for applying eyeshadow.

Brush Thin Tip: A brush for fine application and detailing.

Cotton swabs: Can be used to correct mistakes or mix colors.

3. Basic steps:

Primer: Using a large, soft-bristled brush, apply a neutral-toned eyeshadow as a base shade over the entire lid in preparation for subsequent eyeshadow build-up.

Mid-tone: Using a smaller brush, apply a slightly darker shade to the eye socket, blending from the outer corner of the eye to the tip of the eye to create volume.

Darker Shades: Using a smaller brush, apply a darker shade along the lash line on the upper and lower lids, and the outer corner of the eye, to intensify the contour.

4. Smudge technique:

Swipe back and forth to make a natural transition between different colors and avoid too obvious dividing lines.

Use a small amount of eyeshadow and build up the color gradually so you don't start too heavy.

5. Pay attention to eye shape:

Adjust the application position of the eye shadow according to your eye shape. For example, the inner corners of the eyes can be brightened with a lighter color and the outer corners can be accentuated with a darker color.

6. Eye shadow and eyeliner:

Beginners can first use dark eyeshadow along the eyelash line to draw an eyeliner-like effect, which is easier to master than liquid eyeliner.

If you want to experiment with eyeliner, use a pastel pencil or gel eyeliner.

7. Coordination of upper and lower eyelids:

Use similar or matching colors on the upper and lower eyelids for an overall coordinated look.

8. Bug fixes:

Use a cotton swab to lightly correct mistakes or blend colors for more even eye makeup.

9. Practice and Patience:

Applying eyeshadow takes practice, so don't be afraid to experiment. It might not be perfect at first, but you'll get better at it over time.

Most importantly, don't be afraid to experiment, enjoy the process of applying eye shadow and adjust it to your liking and style. With practice, you'll develop more techniques to create a beautiful eye look that works for you.

The cleaning and maintenance of eyeshadow palettes are very important to maintain the quality and experience of using cosmetics. Here are some eyeshadow palette cleaning and maintenance tips:

1. Regular cleaning: It is recommended to clean the eyeshadow palette regularly, especially after multiple uses. This helps remove residual makeup, oil, and dirt, ensuring eyeshadow color accuracy and luminosity.

2. Gently wipe: Use a wet tissue or a professional makeup brush cleaning tool to gently wipe the surface of the eyeshadow palette. Avoid alcohol-based cleansers as they can damage eyeshadow color.

3. Avoid mixing colors: Before cleaning the eyeshadow palette, make sure that the cleaning tools are clean, to avoid mixing between different colors and affect future use.

4. Clean the brush regularly: If you use a brush to apply eye shadow, it is also necessary to clean the brush regularly. Using a mild scrubbing solution, gently wash brushes and allow to dry.

5. Avoid moisture entering the tray: When cleaning the eyeshadow palette, avoid letting moisture enter the tray. Moisture can ruin the texture and color of eyeshadow. The best way is to gently wipe the surface of the disc with a damp paper towel or cleaning brush.

6. Store in a dry and ventilated place: Store the eyeshadow palette in a dry and ventilated place, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight. Heat and humidity can damage the texture and color of eyeshadow.

7. Avoid heavy pressure and collision: Avoid placing heavy objects on the eyeshadow palette to prevent deformation or cracking of the disk surface. At the same time, try to avoid dropping the eyeshadow palette, so as not to damage the cosmetics.

8. Regularly check the shelf life: Every cosmetic has a certain shelf life, and expired cosmetics may cause adverse effects on the skin. Check the labels on your eyeshadow palettes regularly to make sure you are not using expired products.

9. Store broken powder and pigment separately: If the broken powder or pigment in the eye shadow palette falls off, you can use a professional broken powder restorer or eye shadow binder to repair it. This maintains the integrity and longevity of the eyeshadow.

Overall, regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your eyeshadow palette, maintain the quality of your makeup, and ensure you get the best results possible.
