One of the neatest eye makeup ideas is to use your eye shadow colors in a creative eye makeup look. This eye makeup picture really says it all – it’s a rainbow eye makeup design which takes shimmer makeup to a whole new level.

You might be surprised at just how easy it can be to apply eyeshadow in this manner:

    1. Start by using an eyelid primer in white. A white cream eyeshadow will work.

    2. Apply your eyeshadow colors by creating stripes of each color from the eyelid up to the eyebrow being careful not to blend.

    3. Take a fan makeup brush and very lightly whisk across the eyelid from the inner corner of the eye, outward. You want the blending to be very light.

    4. Use an eyeliner to line both upper and lower lids. Extend the eyeliner outward.

    5. Finish by applying gold shimmer at the inner and outer corners. In this look a little blue shimmer is placed on top of the magenta on the upper lid and a silver shimmer is used on the inside corner near the nose as well as the top of the brow.
