An Easy Eyeshadow Look With Two Colors

A two-shade eye look can be soft, expressive and easy to adapt. Choose any pair you enjoy: a lighter shade for the lid and a deeper one for definition are simply a starting point.

Place and blend

Sweep the lighter color over the lid with a clean brush or fingertip. Add a small amount of the deeper shade near the outer corner or lash line, then blend the edge gradually. Build slowly so you can control the intensity.

Keep eye products clean

Use products intended for the eye area and avoid sharing them. If your eyes or the surrounding skin are irritated, stop using the product and seek advice as appropriate. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your tools and makeup.

Make it your own

For a softer result, choose two colors close together in depth. For more contrast, use a deeper shade as a thin line along the lashes. A clean brush can soften the boundary without adding more product.
