EYESHADOW DO'S AND DONT'S | Ellarie

[@sweethomechicago]

Summary of Tips. 1. Decide face or eyes first depending on fallout potential 2. Use clean brushes 3. Always use eyeshadow primer or non creasing concealer as a base 4. Set primer with flesh tone powder 5. Use a medium or lighter colored first transition shade applied with a flexible soft bristles brush. if brush too stiff or too dense it will not blend 6. apply color at outer edge and sweep inwards 7. use 2-3 transition shades, using gradually smaller brushes, working towards tapered blending brushes 8. avoid shimmers in crease 9. tap excess to minimize fallout 10. blend hold brush at middle to end, I.e. hold with a light hand 11. use a clean brush to blend or add back extra of transition shades 1 & 2 12. use a flat packer brush for the lid 13. use 2 colors on the lower lashline to avoid raccoon eyes 14. apply inner corner highlight with a detail brush 15. avoid excess brow highlight 16. use peach or nude waterline as opposed to white waterline 17. if using black stay directly in the waterline, do not drag down 18. use felt tip or liquid liner or gel pot for wings over eyeshadow. pencil wings work only on bare lids 19. use falsh lashes if at all possible. if not use a really good mascara.

Thank you for sharing! After I watched your video, I literally watched another tutorial and they were demonstrating a lot of the don'ts and I saw the difference of how it did not look as put together. I will definitely use these tips in my makeup application.

[@audreydee74]

I love how you too the time to explain each step so that novice-expert would understand! The do side is lit 🔥

[@deborahlafaye]

Oh my goodness! I am so glad you told us what brushes to use and why. It has made all of the difference as to why I haven't been able to achieve your looks. Thanks so much for your inspiring videos.

[@stephanieumber3751]

Do highlights and contour do' s and don't

[@kaamya921]

More “Do’s and Don’ts” Please! I still struggle with some parts of my makeup application! Like applying highlighter on my cheekbones, or I thought that’s where I’m supposed to apply it. But I have noticed that some of my favorite influencers are applying highlighter from cheekbones down to the apple of their cheeks (hint hint) lol. Unfortunately I do not have cheek apples, I have cheek grapefruits! Lol. So most of the time I’m not happy with my highlighter.

[@melofthewest5303]

Relatable

[@Badbodyqueen]

You are not alone. I struggle with my highlighter placement as well.

[@camayalucky4393]

I relate , i usually turn my head and place my highlight on the upper cheekbone, and when i face forward , i make sure that its not visible from the front. Thats just my preference.

[@abbiekay7505]

This video was super helpful! Eyeshadow is the one thing I still haven't quite mastered make up wise! Would love to see more do's and dont's in future

[@praycations17]

Omg best video ever. I'm a makeup newbie and I used to look like the don't side...lol loving the do side... I'm getting better with practice... thanks for the video please make more

[@janayfanis1836]

A vid with Do’s and Don’ts of highlighting techniques will be superb!

[@CocoRenaee]

your video came in clutch at the perfect time because i am practicing on my blending at the moment. your tips on which brushes to use are everything i noticed a big difference. i wish we were able to upload pictures with our comments so u can see how helpful it is to us. i watched your old dos and donts video but this updated one really helped, thank you! ☺️✨

[@CLoveBeauty]

Love the DO side. Beautiful! Very natural

[@Lola_0702]

OMG, I watched the first vid when you posted it but you just don't how GREAT these tips were for a beginner like me!!! People never give that much detail from assuming everyone should know and instead only focus on what color they're applying so this is SO APPRECIATED!!!!

[@zsanewrice2289]

Yes more do’s and don’ts...I like the ombré lip idea. Oh oh oh and highlighting and contouring and setting it!!

[@allthingsirene]

LOVE the Do side. I just need to figure out how to do lashes. Thanks!!!

[@ChickIgloo]

Of all the eyeshadow do's and don'ts that I've watched, this one is by far the most helpful. Thank you.

[@shazza91321]

Thanks for the do's and don'ts I would like to see more of these. A lot of youtubers have been getting away from actual tutorials on makeup application of late. I love these kind of informative videos.

[@dominiquesuvettebeautyampl9862]

I love detailed videos like these! Can we get a video of your favorite eyeshadow brushes please

[@kendal4452]

I would like to have your opinion on what brushes should I have. And yes ombry lips would be great. Something for small thin lips.

[@godislove5781]

Omg!!! You look just like Rasheeda from Love and Hip Hop

[@miya1899]

Thanks you so much! I support you, my fellow black queen! I changed my routine to doing my eyeshadow first, and not having to clean the fallout off my foundation is such a time saver.

[@crystaldavis4039]

I LOVE your Dos and Don’ts videos!! They help me out so much! Please do more!!

[@curlsnmelanin91]

[@brookewhite5594]

Thanks for the peach waterline tip. I normally use white thinking it looks good lol but now that I see the difference, peach is definitely the way!

[@vanessahardin2993]

I love these type videos! I definitely need to practice

[@kiki_em]

could you do a "Do's and Don'ts" on picking the right shades for eyeshadows please!!

[@cierramelling2984]

I needed this detailed eyeshadow video so badly. Eyeshadow is a struggle for me even though I've been practicing. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!

[@aliciametters2025]

[@stephanieklotzman8540]

I love your videos!! So very helpful!! Thanks for all the tips!!

[@jeanineplase4945]

This was SO helpful! Love the way you break it all down + the detailed brush info. My challenge is adapting the tools/techniques for my eye shape. I have two diff shaped eyes, one is more almond but both are round oh and one is slightly hooded. Fun times lol. Maybe a vid on choosing the right lip colors for your undertone?

[@TripleO88]

This looks amazing I just learned a lot! I’ve been walking around with the don’t all this time. Now I am excited about buying new brushes and doing your technique thanks for sharing!

[@dmuse8109]

[@Jessiiduhhx3]

[@avee4295]

Thank you Ellarie. I particularly like the tip with not putting shimmer shades for transition

[@ardeladdison9471]

Aww thanks for sharing.. sometimes I have a bad eye shadow day doesn't blend right it's more of the don't side, like start over girl!!!🤔😓😫😱 So thank you for the tips, using different brushes for bending and transitioning makes a Big difference. How often should you get new brushes??

[@legendaryleo4875]

[@missfranklin4742]

1st time viewer. I love this eye-shadow palette from Ulta Beauty. The don't side just need polished I like it but the do side is very classy. Excellent video

[@sonatashinome4672]

Definitely saving this video, I bought my own pallet forthright first time, and this video helps. Being an ex art student I’d say I’m naturally good at blending, but I needed some tips x

[@sheryljosephs]

You are stunning!! Your makeup is flawless. You’re videos are very helpful so thank you

[@michellesimms6277]

This was so great. The way you broke down each step and the brushes used and why really helped. So nice on you...the right eye lol. What shadow palette did you use? Thanks for continuing to teach us how to slay!!!!

[@jasmyn09]

This was one of the most helpful videos I’ve watched in a while. It reminded me of old KZbin when I use to learn tips lol! Blending eyeshadows & highlighting with concealer are my last techniques to master! Thanks girl ❤️

[@jloveley6063]

This was the best tutorial! You did an awesome job! Thank you so much ❤️

[@loriem1031]

You've taught me some new methods of eyeshadow design.... I love wearing makeup, just not as polished at applying it! Thank you..... You are so pretty! I'm a subscriber now!

[@BACKTOBLACKLOVE]

I so needed this. I steer clear of shadow cuz i don t know wtf i be doin. Lol. Im ready to learn tho, so thank u. And what palet do u recommend for beginner eye shadow users?

[@ladybugblack]

This is the best eyeshadow tutorial I’ve seen. My opinion, I see exactly what your u mean about the don’t side. Thanks Sis🔥🔥🔥

[@ashleymills9658]

I would love a video doing recommendations for brush brands

[@parepidemosproductions4741]

This was so informative! I am not a makeup person because I have seen makeup that just doesn't work. My question is what do you suggest for having the drama of falsies without them? I'm a little apprehensive with all the dramatic stuff

[@luveniaherrington4225]

I needed this video I found this very helpful. I think my Maine problem is using the right Brushes . Can you do a video on the right brush to use and apply eyeshadow please!!

[@All_things_Aisha]

Thank you! I’ve been doing makeup for a few years...watching you the do’s helped me pickup a little changes I can use. Thank you so much I appreciate it!!!!

[@OneiArMani18]

[@danigirl103]

Hey Ellarie! I loved this video and all your tips, can you list the brushes you used in the description? I’d love to pick up a few. Thanks!

[@FeedMeJuice]

[@thetajlikemahal7100]

[@spoileddiva313]

Aya A. I agree!

[@kellijohnson1019]

I agree!!

[@Officially.Lashay]

Thank you girl you just changed my life I'm about to sit here an practice because that don't side was so me but some of my pictures I'm looking like okay I was cute but now that you say it could have been cleaned up I get it so I'm going to try my best to practice the do side thanks for the tips

[@Elllzzz1]

Thank you. I def need to step my brush and makeup game up and use this video to practice. Bomb

[@tanishawalker9764]

Sis, what lipstick or gloss do you have on your lips??? It’s giving me life!! 🔥🔥🔥Such a nice natural glow!!!!

[@chyanenaraskivitch7577]

girl , you have amazing skin tone and that Do side is bomb !

[@gvnjesuspraise247]

Beautiful skin. You definitely rocked it😊

[@shelliejones8506]

I cant do none of that you just did. I love it on you. Both sides actually depending on the look your were going for. For me I'm like light and simple just a little gloss and a glow type of thing. I get great compliments on my make up look so if it ain't broke dont fix it. Maybe of I was younger without children grands a husband to look after I would have time to practice. However at my age I dont wanna look like I'm trying to hard to stay young. 46 years is a life long blessing for me. I'm still alive after all I've been through and I still look young and beautiful with or without make up. Most of you ladies have wonderful tips tricks and make up talent, God bless yall little hearts and thanks for sharing your gift with the world.

[@midnight_rose2700]

You make it seem to be so effortless. The lashes are perfect on you and they really do look so natural. What brand did you say they were? You are just beautiful! 😇❤

[@animaacheampong609]

Hi Ellarie, this video was so good. Thank you for sharing. Can you please list in the description bar, all the products you used including the brush types. Thank you.

[@Dejrah09]

I grabbed an Anastasia pallet that looked similar in terms of the colors.

[@ashleyjones9291]

[@soboogee7818]

U make this look soooooo effortless. There's a skill to the blending, brush holding, color combos & skin tone compliment. Basically how do Icavoid looking like a Clown. Cause I'm no good at this besides I sweat too much so this will prolly be a waste of product but Excellent Tutorial!!
