Choose Your Eye Shadow WiselyIn today's world, it seems that almost any topic is open
for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I
was quite intrigued to find some of the facts you will
learn here about eye shadow. Eye Shadow & the Fashion Model If you are heading off to a photo session and are going
to apply your own makeup, consider these points about
eye shadow first. Yes, all stages of makeup application
are important for fashion or glamour models but eye
shadow undoubtedly plays a very important role in you
final choices of cosmetics when posing for pictures. Eye Shadow - Past and Present I can remember what people dressed like when I was
young. It was the seventies, and I remember the tight
T-shirts and the bell-bottoms quite well. I also remember that a lot of high school girls wore blue
eye shadow and always seemed to be larger than life
to me. If you look at fashion trends and cosmetic changes
through the years, and the fashion or glamour models
of a certain decade, you may realize that it’s not just
about the clothes the models are wearing in pictures.
You can sometimes date a photo by just looking at the
eye shadow. The eye shadow and makeup progressions have
changed tremendously through the years just like
clothing trends. If you don’t believe me, just look at
photos of girls and women taken in the eighties. The
ways in which they applied their makeup was the sign
of the times, and when the nineties rolled around, many
people stopped wearing as much. The models eye shadow went from wild to muted, if it
was worn at all. Every year I find out a new color is in,
but in reality, you can’t just wear any old color if you
want to look fantastic in your model photos. Just because everyone is wearing gobs of blue, that
does not mean that you have to wear it, or that you
should be wearing it. My dear mother always used that
old saying; "If everybody jumped off a cliff does that
mean you have to jump too?" How can you put a limit on learning more about eye
makeup? This next section may contain something
surprising for you and your eyes. Eye Shadows to make Your Eyes "POP" Did you know you can wear certain colors of eye
shadow that will make your eyes pop? If your eyes are hazel for instance, but they usually look
green then you can make them stand out by wearing
purple eye shadow, and sometimes you may add a
little green to it. This effect works very well! You could definitely wear
brown with your hazel eyes, but they would not pop like
they do when when you apply the purple. There are colors of eye shadow that will do this for
every eye color out there, though you may have to
experiment until you find the one that works best for
you. Put on your eye shadow, close your eyes while
standing in front of your mirror, then open them
suddenly. Do you see pop or flop? You be the judge. Eye Shadow doesn't have to Cost a Fortune to Look
Good! How much did you spend on your eye shadow the last
time you went to a model photo session? You really don’t have to spend a fortune on your eye
shadow, but the ones that cost a little more do tend to
stay in place on your eyelids a little longer. Honestly
though, I have seen both expensive and inexpensive
brands of eye shadow that work well for my fashion
models and stay in place for the entire shooting. There is nothing worse than your make up running
down your face when you are out in public or at an
important model portfolio session. Make sure you get
one that stays put as that might be the most attractive
look of all. The color you choose is not important if the
eye shadow is all over your face! When it comes to eye
shadow and looking fantastic in your images, don't
splurge or skimp on money. My final tidbit of advice is to be sure you buy eye
shadow that suits you and will compliment your eyes;
not because everyone else is wearing it. You will be
happy you made the right choice! When word gets around about your command of eye
shadow facts, others who need to know about eye
shadow will start to actively seek you out.
