2 Eyeshadow Tips for a Bold, Colorful & Lasting Look

Today I’m sharing another tip that I learned from my friend Michelle, who is an artist when it comes to makeup.  Last time, she helped me with my post “How to Make Your Lipstick Colors Look Spectacular.”  This time, I have two eyeshadow tips for a bold, colorful and lasting look.

I always have a problem with eye makeup smudging for some reason.  So I like to know how to avoid that.  If you have this problem, you might like to read my post “How to Avoid Frustration from Makeup Smudging Under the Eyes.”

Michelle told me how to apply eyeshadow so that it doesn’t disappear or crease over the course of the day.  You may have seen this mentioned somewhere before, but it bears repeating for those of us who want our eye makeup to stay put.

Below, I am sharing with you Michelle’s advice and another similar technique.  So here are two eyeshadow tips for a bold, colorful and lasting look.

Age doesn’t matter, although it does end up making you wiser!  😉

Do you sometimes wonder how you can feel cool yet look classy when it’s hot?  I found the answer long ago in the book:  Hot Tips:  1000 Fashion and Beauty Tricks by Frances Patiky Stein.  In the “Summer Tricks” section of the book, she tells how to make an instant summer suit.  I’ve used this outfit idea dozens of times when I was working and it kept me cool while being office-appropriate.  Although this won’t work for a very conservative corporate environment where an actual suit is required, it’s useful in many other ways.  You can put together your own suit from cool separates where the dress codes is not so strict as well as for business evenings, business travel, city day meetings and events and even business in country settings.  Age doesn’t matter at all!

First I’ll give you the trick as presented by Stein in her book.  Then I’ll tell you how I used it myself and how this outfit combination can be adapted to different occasions.  This post is an installment in my Style Tips category.
