Appearing a few months ago, applying colored eyeshadows to the inner corners of your eyes is a trend that has now taken hold in make-up routines.
In general, we are used to putting color on our mobile eyelid, whether it is flat or gradient when we want something lighter. But have you ever thought about putting some color in the inner corner of your eye? If it is rather advisable to illuminate the eyes by putting on an iridescent golden, white or champagne eye shadow, you can also put color in this strategic place. There are several options available to you for this. The most common and the quickest thing to do is to leave your eyelid bare and put green, pink, yellow or even orange in the inner corner of your eyes. However, care must be taken that the touch of color is not too thick or too extensive for a subtle and delicate result. To dress up your look, make a line of liner with a stretched comma.
How to associate the colors?
It's important to choose a color that appeals to you, but also matches your skin tone. Make-up artists recommend instead to use coral, red, fuchsia, pink and green colors for fair skin, orange, fuchsia, pink or even yellow for tanned skin and purple, green, blue, fuchsia, pink and yellow for dark skin. So there are endless possibilities to create a look that suits you.
It is also possible to put a touch of color in the corner of your eyes even if you have already put some on your mobile eyelid. It is then necessary that they be complementary or similar colors so that the two colors can fade between them and that it is visually more harmonious. So, if you use red on your eyelid, or brick colors, you can put green or orange in the inner corner. If you prefer purple, yellow will be ideal, and in addition it will bring a little light. Pastel colors are also great to put in the inner corner of your eyes. Due to their low intensity, they are perfect eyeshadows if you want to start using this technique, but you are not yet ready to fully assume a colorful makeup.
What to apply my internal wedge shadow with?
If you want to get ready quickly in the morning, you can perfectly apply your eyeshadow in the inner corner with your finger, as long as your hands are clean so as not to put bacteria in your palette, but also very close to your eyes. This is especially important if you have sensitive eyes, which react easily. By applying your eye shadow, the color will be more intense.
If you apply it with a brush, choose thin brushes which will be more precise than flat or blending brushes. Some brands, like Sephora Collection, offer specific brushes for the inner corner of the eyes. Be careful, when you apply your eyeshadow in the inner corner, you will not be able to blend it as usual otherwise the color will move and will no longer be localized in a specific place. This is why you should not take a lot of material with your brush and tap it well on the palette to remove the excess. It's up to you to add more afterwards if you want a more marked result!
