How To: Blend Your Eyeshadow Like A Pro | Beginners Tips & Tricks!

[@kristinessTX]

you are the first person to clearly expand how to pick up color on the brush...thank you

[@paulasmith714]

no matter what I do I always look like I got punched in the eye! so frustrating. I jsut can't get it

[@roxyruiz59]

Paula Smith same thing happens to me 😣

[@seniarasmussen5093]

Paula Smith same with me until I realized I needed to use dry light colors 😊 and use very little and then put it on and use another clean brush to blend it out 😃

[@ceeeceee8753]

Paula Smith same! I don't understand why it's so hard for me!

[@RuthRandoms]

Mine are rubbish too.

[@jungkooksnipples3697]

I still dont know which brush for what is ..

[@selxdavis13]

I feel like blending eye shadow will always be the hardest thing for me to ever do while I'm putting on makeup.

[@jennamaidment1783]

Just keep practicing! It helps if you hold the brush more towards the end of it rather than holding it like a pencil/too close

[@vanyaraissa9681]

Perhaps you need to find the right brushes. And then when using blending brush, it's better not to hold on too tight but hold it lightly while blending it back and forth.

[@lisalynn8217]

Omg me too

[@missdebbie4205]

Out of 100s of tutorials I've watched personally, I have learned more from this one step by step. Thank you so much Eimear! You are a very beautiful young lady!

[@alliekarnes8976]

Oh my gosh thank the lord you made this I literally can't blend. Your makeup looks so good!

[@EimearMcElheron]

Thanks a million! Hopefully you find the video useful :D X

[@Paigeturnernyc]

no on ever discusses brushes...which is so important..thank you!!

[@Poppinmyshitdeedee]

My friend always tells me its the most important thing if you want your eyeshadow to look good

[@mariahelizabeth6645]

Seriously!!!

[@ladyg2349]

Girl, I must say you are a good tutor! You speaking pace is very reasonable and clear.

[@carlarusso8626]

I thimk I asked you to do this kind of videos, they are so helpful, so I'm very happy you posted it. With only 3 brushes you made this beautiful look. I will practice more. Thank you for sharing, and I will check if you have more travel videos. My dream is to visit your beautiful and green country

[@EimearMcElheron]

So glad to hear you find them helpful! I've a few more videos tailored towards beginners planned to go up over the next little while. I wish I had another travel video up for you, the last one I uploaded was a short little vlog of Galway city! I've nearly finished Co Wexford and I've started Co Kilkenny but I always have to film them in bits and pieces due to the weather or sometimes certain attractions that I want to film only open at particular times of the year. Fingers crossed I'll have my Wexford travel vlog up by the end of next month/early April :) x

[@carlarusso8626]

Eimear McElheron then I will wait anxiously for your next video . Thank you!

[@iphonelover1985]

carla russo thank u for this video I am glad 😁 u did this I want to learn my eyeshadow looks messy sometimes

[@jadedpdx]

I am so impressed with the videography. This is the best I’ve seen!

[@franziska6611]

The advice with the facepowder to bland the colors is new for me and great. Thank you so much!

[@j.elle912]

This was very helpful, thank you! Especially when you explained about brushes. I'm never sure which one to use when...they're are so many different types.

[@JamieAdkins619]

Wow this is the best video for showing blending and brushes. I needed to see this! Thanks for being so helpful!

[@amialice6005]

THANK YOU! I tried this method and the brushes mentioned three times already and already see a big improvement compared to what my blending look before. Makes me excited to play with eyeshadow now 😍😍😍😍

[@soraville]

this is so helpful lol also completely off topic but you have the cutest nose and cupids bow

[@EimearMcElheron]

Great to hear! Aw no way hahaha I'm not keen on my nose at all. I broke it a few years ago so I've a bump in the middle that never went away haha thank you though, you're very kind :) x

[@riaaamedina5639]

Eimear McElheron same here girl, I was punched by my sister in the nose.

[@Lysana7]

damn, I´ve never seen such a good and helpful makeup tutorial with original information, and I´ve been watching quite a lot of them... really nice job - subscribed :)

[@susiflores4277]

Thank you sooo much! We need more tutorials like this there are so many brushes out there seems overwhelming!

[@makeupboss9812]

Hey Eimear , thanks for the tips . I’m not exactly a beginner, but I wanted to see your approach with it . It’s really good. You do an amazing job.

[@pstew5782]

This is exactly what I have been looking for! Out of all of the eyeshadow basics videos that I have seen, this one is by far the most helpful. I can't wait to see more of your basics videos---I hit subscribe after seeing this one.

[@lauriereeves3145]

Have you ever thought about doing a video for hooded eyes?

[@rahmaalfeky5959]

Laurie Reeves check Wayne goss's hooded eyes tutoriols👍

[@LimeFlightUKnow]

I tend to either over blend or didn't blend it well.

[@EimearMcElheron]

Yeah sometimes it can be hard to find a balance. Honestly I think it all comes with practice! One thing I will say though is if you're trying to blend out a harsh edge make sure you only blend where you need to blend. Place your brush over the edge and blend back and forward to soften it. If you blend over the look as a whole that's when I find the eyeshadow can tend to all mush together and become muddy looking. x

[@LimeFlightUKnow]

Eimear McElheron omg you reply. this made my day. Okay...fangirling. I tried your technique after watching the video. it did help but I guess I need more practice. I tend to not blend well on my left as I dominant on my right. thanks heaps for your video!

[@ishane]

LimeFlightUKnow I can't over blend ugh

[@BillyLuver0]

I always overblend, and it looks terrible!

[@maribelg9800]

I just love the Simplicity of your videos very helpful, thank you so much!

[@avemariavalenzuela]

your video is different from the others. finally, a makeup artist who informs us about the brushes! indeed the title says it all. very easy to understand, just perfect for beginners like me. i super love it. i love you already ♥️😍

[@winglessfairy564]

Omg this is literally the most helpful eyeshadow tutorial I’ve seen by far!! Thank you so much!!

[@G1NG3R28]

This is very helpful! Thank you. Please do more of it. You are amazing!

[@BSG0005]

This is the best basic video I’ve seen yet!

[@sinnerrella]

Girl you are amazing. Your tips are, your voice is, and your eyes for sure are ;) thanks!

[@manimoo2993]

thank you so much your explanation is so helpful even to placing eyeshadow on the brush is so so so helpful compared to other youtubers ....i appreciate this tutorial so much thank you.

[@janethagy8871]

Loved this review! It is the essential technique for eye make up application. Thank you so much Eimear!!

[@janetlovett9253]

What a great “complete” teaching video! Thank you for doing this. BTW, you are beautiful and I love your eyebrows!

[@GirlArmy21]

That was a fantastic video!! It was perfectly edited and simply put! Learned lots. Thanks so much! Hi from Canada...just subscribing!

[@christinajackson2662]

Best blending explanation video I've seen, thank you!

[@DarkLauniBabe]

This was actually SO helpful! Thank you so much :)

[@hayuhinaira]

very nice & detailed explanation tutorial, thumbs up

[@gpuri494]

Hi Eimear! Love your videos. Could you please post a video for soft gold eye and full face make up. I always end up either overdoing it or it is not visible at all. Thank you

[@cathrynsuarez1695]

Very professional looking and easy to follow thank you.

[@viskaeldrap.8427]

I have fold onn my eyes. It makes me so hard to blend eyeshadow

[@india-rosesavini2068]

Super useful, as a beginner this is really easy to follow!

[@Goodgirlperfume]

You are the best! Been to Ireland once. Stayed in county Wicklow. Always rained but a fine mist! Sugarloaf mountain rings a bell? Far out, it was like 15 years ago..... The Dart railway line was interesting (is that what it was called?). Keep up your amazing tutorials. You rock. xxx

[@EimearMcElheron]

I live in Wicklow and I'm not surprised at all to hear it rained during your stay, typical Ireland haha! Have you seen my Wicklow travel vlog? I actually climbed the Sugarloaf in that video. The views from the top are absolutely stunning :) Aw the dart, that's one thing I don't miss about college. At rush hour you'd be squashed on it with half the country haha! Thanks a million for your lovely comment :) Delighted to hear you enjoy the tutorials! xx

[@Goodgirlperfume]

No way. Spin out. I have not seen your travel vlog. Will check it out as soon as I can. Will bring back old traveling memories no doubt. Thanks for your reply. From your Aussie fan. xxx

[@aliciaegan4665]

Fantastic walkthrough and tips! Thank you!

[@EimearMcElheron]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :) x

[@jillianness8629]

This is an excellent video. I've watched a few on blending now and so many of them are just the same two tips being spit out over and over again with a few key words changed here and there and not really explaining what they are doing to actually blend. Your teaching skills are fabulous. Probably one of the best I've seen on the platform. Top 5 for sure . 🖤❤️

[@ivaadamovic3264]

Hey, what is the brand for eyeshadows on 4:02 and what to do if i go far away with eyeshadow(i have hooded eyes) when i try to clean it with Q-tip it looks so harsh and it wont blend? love you💜

[@rebeccabest7766]

Love the video,simple and effective, could you do a more in depth video on eye brushes like what one would need in a basic kit. I often find my self wanting to recreate some looks but don't have the correct tools.

[@EimearMcElheron]

That's a great idea Rebecca! I don't think I've done a video like that before so I'll pop it down on my to-do list :) Thanks! x

[@mrs_ana1236]

That's really the BEST blending vid I've ever seen🙌 Thx for that❤

[@EimearMcElheron]

Aw that's wonderful to hear! I tried to jam pack it with as much information as I could think of haha :) Thanks a million x

[@mrs_ana1236]

Eimear McElheron Love it❤

[@traceyhiggins5664]

[@paigerowe1090]

[@riaaamedina5639]

I have a question, will Angel Veil from Nyx work as a base? I also have veiny eyelids and I got the primer in a pearly white color. Could that work?

[@courtneykhan8671]

I feel like perfecting makeup is all about doing something different everyday on yourself. Changing up colors, techniques, etc. i am always tweaking the process in the interim. Still not to the place where i want to be- but i will not give up. I love this shit too much, it’s literally my job and the best one I’ve ever had. ( 18 years after picking up my first palette) good luck fellow makeup lovers ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@marjxowisno]

For the first step the base can I use just a primer or should I use a concealer?

[@AngelEyes-59-23--11]

Thank you so much. My oldest granddaughter wanted me to teach her how I do my eyeshadow. I already gave her a few palets and singles...some I don't use anymore because of my age...some new because I want to keep my own. Now I'm going to "give" her this tutorial! I don't think I can teach her better than you! So thx!!!

[@stephanie8664]

please keep putting out these wonderful videos!!

[@sorayabenjamin1335]

Excellently done. In depth explanations.

[@magicrose6090]

Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to put lotion on the eyelid instead of a primer or concealer? I tried putting an eye friendly one on and it worked! My other question is that can you do an eye makeup tutorial with no false lashes? I would really like to see how the makeup looks with only mascara and no false lashes. Thank you for your excellent video, stay awesome! Bye. :)

[@aprild8286]

love your videos! they're always so helpful!

[@NinaRivas1]

I love your channel I swear I learn so much

[@loreleirhine2422]

Thank you for great tutorials ✌🏼 so basically the transition color and crease color are not the same? So many people use these terms interchangeably. This clarified what the transition color is for 💁🏼‍♀️

[@clckaryn9058]

Could u pls do tutorial for those of us who doesn't have defined crease? Or could we use same technique as well? Thanks.

[@captainkipperflipper3825]

About 2 months back I found this video and just followed along with the steps every morning

[@hollyd7554]

I have hooded eyes and I'm 62 yrs old. Basically just started with eye shadows. What can I say? I want to look regal. My question is when applying eye shadow I have a patchwork appearance on my eyes. I blend and blend with not much avail. What do u do to help smooth it all out?

[@2cmrinhfx]

Excellent!! Please do more like this!

[@EimearMcElheron]

I've a few more video's tailored towards beginners planned. I'm just going to try spread them out a little :) x

[@BSG0005]

I wish I had as much kid space and brow space as you do. It would make this process so much easier.

[@misspiggymiami]

I liked very much ur video. Thanks! Please can you tell me what color is your nail polish? Thanks again 💜💋

[@iszzieanna]

Your eyes are stunning!

[@emilymaloney1459]

Just found your channel and subscribed! This video is super helpful. But one question -- it didn't seem like you did any real blending between the shades on the lid. More like you just patted it on. Or do you blend between those as well?

[@EimearMcElheron]

Sorry I didn't make that part clear! So I took some brown on my brush first, started on the outer part of the lid and I patted the shadow down. Then when there was less product on my brush I began patting it across the lid towards the centre so that the brown faded from dark to light the closer to the centre of the lid it got. Then I used a cream eyeshadow on the inner portion. I applied this in the same way as the brown except the shadow was most pigmented on the inner corner and then when I had less shadow left on my brush I moved my brush across the lid to meet the brown in the centre. That way the shadow's faded nicely into one another without me having to blend back and forward between the two on the lid! I hope that makes sense :) x

[@emilymaloney1459]

It does, thanks! I'll try that out :)

[@mahiyamahi3136]
