It’s the question that many makeup lovers ask. Metallic eyeshadows can be worn for any and every occasion. However, they tend to fade throughout the day. No matter how well you apply them, they don’t last as long as matte shadows<\/a> do. Or at least it feels this way because of their shimmery texture, which tends to let your eyelids shine through more than other types of eye shadow finishes. If you want your metallics to stay in place all day, try these tips:<\/p>\n- \n
- Apply a primer to your eyelids. This will help the eyeshadow stay in place all day long.<\/li>\n
- Choose a light color as your base and apply it all over your lid.<\/li>\n
- Select a darker color and apply it to the crease of your eye. Be sure to blend well, so there are no harsh lines.<\/li>\n
- Take a piece of aluminum foil and crumple it up into a ball. Unfold it and then press it onto your eyelid. Be sure to hold it on for about 30 seconds so the heat from your skin will melt the eyeshadow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The result will be a dramatic, glamorous look that will last all day!<\/p>\n
What does foiling mean in makeup?<\/h2>\n
In the world of makeup, there are a lot of terms that can be confusing for people who are just starting. One term that you may have heard but might not know what it means is “foiling.” Foiling is basically when you use a metallic or shimmery eyeshadow to create a louder, more dramatic look. You can either use it on its own or over another eyeshadow color. For example, using a light color over a darker shade can make the dark shade look even richer and intensify the color. Foil eyeshadows usually come in palettes with several different colors to create different looks. There are also some single foil shadows available if you want to try this lookout.<\/p>\n
