Hi everyone! Hope you all are well :) So in today's video I'm showing you how to blend your eyeshadow like a pro. I've had so many requests for more beginners video's lately so I thought I'd really go back to basics with this weeks video. I also tried to include some close up shots of the eyes while filming as I know it was mentioned on my last video. Some people like when I film close up, some like when I film the full face so I've combined shots of both to hopefully please everyone! Thanks for the feedback, as always it's greatly appreciated :) x

Just keep practicing! It helps if you hold the brush more towards the end of it rather than holding it like a pencil/too close

@vanyaraissa9681 4 жыл бұрын

Perhaps you need to find the right brushes. And then when using blending brush, it's better not to hold on too tight but hold it lightly while blending it back and forth.

So glad to hear you find them helpful! I've a few more videos tailored towards beginners planned to go up over the next little while. I wish I had another travel video up for you, the last one I uploaded was a short little vlog of Galway city! I've nearly finished Co Wexford and I've started Co Kilkenny but I always have to film them in bits and pieces due to the weather or sometimes certain attractions that I want to film only open at particular times of the year. Fingers crossed I'll have my Wexford travel vlog up by the end of next month/early April :) x

I tend to either over blend or didn't blend it well.

@EimearMcElheron 7 жыл бұрын

Yeah sometimes it can be hard to find a balance. Honestly I think it all comes with practice! One thing I will say though is if you're trying to blend out a harsh edge make sure you only blend where you need to blend. Place your brush over the edge and blend back and forward to soften it. If you blend over the look as a whole that's when I find the eyeshadow can tend to all mush together and become muddy looking. x

@LimeFlightUKnow 7 жыл бұрын

Eimear McElheron omg you reply. this made my day. Okay...fangirling. I tried your technique after watching the video. it did help but I guess I need more practice. I tend to not blend well on my left as I dominant on my right. thanks heaps for your video!

I've watched a few on blending now and so many of them are just the same two tips being spit out over and over again with a few key words changed here and there and not really explaining what they are doing to actually blend. Your teaching skills are fabulous. Probably one of the best I've seen on the platform. Top 5 for sure . 🖤❤️
