How To Get Perfect Eyeshadow

Hey guys! In today’s video, I’m sharing with you my foolproof eyeshadow technique! This is the general technique that you see me use in almost every tutorial, so I thought i’d make a dedicated video teaching you how to do it! So many women I meet are afraid of eyeshadow and say they don’t know how to apply it. I share all of my tips and tricks (step by step) to help you achieve perfect eyeshadow at home! Once you master this technique, it can be used with any eyeshadow colors. I hope you all find this video to be helpful and I hope you have fun next time you try out an eye look! Love you all SO much! xoxo

Please do this with other makeup, like contour, brows, lips, and eyeliner. Make like a makeup basics series, please!!!

[@dianamadera2767]

Megan Culhane yessss ive asked her for the same. She is great explaining and soo detailed and not boring at all. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Smellywax77]

Yes!!

This is HANDS DOWN the best tutorial I have ever watched. Great job!!!!!! 👏🏻

[@ane8967]

[@bleumoccasin316]

Yes!!!

[@karenwaldrop2307]

Exactly! ♡

[@andreaslatter2946]

That was my exact thought. I love your tutorials. Keep them coming!!!

[@rlturnmyre1]

Yes!! She is awesome!

[@daniellezadora7637]

LOVED THIS! TY! Would love an eyeliner vid too..how to do wings on hooded eyes and best product for longevity on the waterline plz help!! Xo

[@P3Nails]

Danielle Zadora best product for longevity on the waterline is a gel liner, like the pot kind you would use for a wing, then set with powder. Actually setting any liner with powder will help it last longer in the waterline. Or a good trick is to use a kohl liner first because it grabs better than a waterproof liner would, then go over the kohl with a waterproof liner. I am a makeup artist and these are all tips I use on my clients. Hope that helps! 😊

[@erinderooy3472]

I'd love to see an in-depth highlighter tutorial, especially tips and tricks for those with large pores and/or textured skin, fine lines etc- how to still get a nice glow without emphasising every imperfection :)

[@estergallardo8959]

Please, do the eyeliner version!🙌 Maybe you could teach us different types of liner, like small everyday wing, more dramatic wing, smokey liner...

[@NamelessAria]

I have literally been sitting around wishing for a good beginner's guide for eyeshadow. Most of the guides I have found are more geared toward people with some knowledge and skill who need a few tips instead of being geared to someone with little to no knowledge and skill in how to do eyeshadow. This video has been very helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

[@lucemerchant]

So basic but so perfect. The tip about holding the brush closer to the end might have blown my mind.

[@juliamiller1322]

Hey Allie! This is sort of a random comment, but I just have to tell you this: I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy, in the middle of my senior year of college, and I've been having a bit of a hard time lately adjusting to my meds and my new lifestyle. Whenever I feel down or anxious, I watch your videos and they make me feel so much better! Not only do I learn so much from your videos, but you're just a joy to watch! Thank you so much for creating videos and being lovely! 😊😊

[@rachelgomes9373]

I needed this!!! Perfect timing because I have a huge party to go to!! Now my eyeshadow will be bomb cause of you!! ❤️❤️

[@quadbox]

I love this look. I've stopped using my Modern Renaissance palette because it always feels so dramatic, but this look is so light but smoky. Going to have to try it.

[@randidahlgren3404]

Thank you so much for this!!! I have gotten so much better with my routine and wearing more and feeling more confident as well because of you and your patience on step by steps to help us out. 💕💕

[@carlysuelangley1392]

Love your tips and techniques! Even tho I’m pretty confident in my eye shadow skills, I always learn something new from you! You inspire me everyday! Love love love you sweet girl! Thank you for bein you! 💜

I absolutely love you! I love that u stick mostly to neutral looks,that’s also where my comfort zone is as well. And your videos are so helpful. Thank you 😊

Best teacher I've seen in a while. Thank you for a great, detailed, unclose tutorial. Subscribed!

[@paolaf3637]

[@mollyjane01]

Allie-you provide us with such useful, worthwhile, amazing knowledge that we can easily put to use in our makeup routines. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness as well as the content you put out. Thank you!! Love watching you do makeup as you’re truly talented!! Xoxo, Molly.

[@meredithmacmillan8838]

I'm loving these more explanatory videos! They seem like such simple things but I love that you're talking through things in such detail, and I always learn something I didn't even think about!

[@Fmagallan]

Your the next Tati I swear so talented! And so genuine. I love watching your videos!

[@allieglines]

flor magallan 😭💕 you are the sweetest!! I’m so glad you like my videos! 😘

[@mireyamosley5150]

EXACTLY!!! 👏🏼❤️

[@nc0304]

I like Allie much better than Tati. I don’t find her videos useful to be honest. Whereas Allie’s are pretty much always great. Best of luck, Allie.

[@ManuelaBeautyGlam]

@@KaraLey98 , right? It's like comparing KUWTK with TED talks, hahaha.

[@itscaroline9041]

Everytime I watch your videos I learn something new!!! I LOVE that. I don't feel frustrated or overwhelmed either which is amazing. I find myself trying out so many things after watching your videos and I can see a difference each time ! Please please do this with other makeup too 😍💙

[@jessieh9127]

LOVE this tutorial! Explained better than anyone else I've watched! Thank you for making it. I will honestly feel more confident trying to get my eyes right. ❤️

[@Valentina_Salas18]

This looks like a perfect wedding makeup 😍 love it!!! This was an amazing tutorial I love your technique. I learned to apply eyeshadow following one of your videos so this was an amazing tutorial to go deeper into eyeshadow ☺

[@shainapoe6640]

Not fair! You already have naturally beautiful eyes!

[@ambarmunett7914]

You're lovely! Xoxo! Thanks for this video I was just thinking earlier about an easier way to do eyeshadow, I spend too much time doing it.

[@boxiebabe333]

LOVED this video! You're a good teacher and I would really like it if you did more of these. I am putting the finishing touches on my beauty desk and loading up the drawers tomorrow. I am going to keep this video loaded up and use it afterward. Thanks Allie! xo

[@tabbithasmith3883]

I am so excited to keep practing your tips! I have been practicing make up for a few months to try and become more confident in application. My sister's wedding is in the morning, so the timing for this video was perfect for helping keep tips fresh on my mind. I will take my time and blend it out. Thank you so much for helping me find something I enjoy!

[@lilybosnick4541]

It's like magic! We asked for an eye makeup tutorial and you delivered! Always learn so much from you, from the little things-- like using the darkest shade eyeshadow as an under-eye liner-- to the big ones, "It's ok to be human-- because you are." Thank you, Allie. There's no one else quite like you.

[@suwilkinson]

Fantastic tutorial, Allie. I’ve seen a million of these - you win! Great talent. You should definitely extend this series to other elements like bronzing, contouring and blush application.

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

Even though I'm a certified makeup artist and cosmetologist, I still watched this video...I just can't miss one of your videos because then I feel like my life isn't complete 😂 you're the best! 💜

[@allieglines]

Adrianna Bruni Craft and Design Co. you’re the best! 😆💕 thanks for watching!!! ❤️

[@sumaiyakamal1993]

[@chantellerosinamommywray]

this is the best, most informative eyeshadow tutorial I've ever seen- really well explained. Would love to see you make a series like this perhaps with more dramatic eye looks and with other makeup application techniques for the rest of the face :) XO

[@allieglines]

Chantelle Rosina Wray oh my goodness, thank you!! You’re the sweetest!! 😘

[@gcool6707]

I love your channel! Would love to see you try an avant garde or colourful look for summer!☀️❤️

[@jisson57]

I LOVE this look Allie. It was so helpful for me as a beginner. I bought the exact pallet and brushes you used in this video and my eyeshadow look turned out great. ❤

[@nancyzorovich7281]

Your tutorial videos are hands down my favorites!!! I am 47 and you just taught me so much with this and your complexion video. I love you! You are my favorite!

[@rebeccabursey8067]

Hey Allie! I absolutely love this video and make up look. I have been struggling for a while with this. And this tutorial really helps 😀 I would love to see a tutorial for eyeliner! Look forward to your videos every week.

[@shelleywallace1228]

This was impressively professional! Just a stunning transformation and so beautiful. 💯💋🥰

[@micheleturner2347]

One of the best easy eye makeup tutorial I’ve watched! I would enjoy seeing an eye liner tutorial for mature eyes.

[@bendyzebrafarm9921]

😮 I needed this tutorial so much! I’m feeling more comfortable watching you and doing eyeshadow.

[@calsmom]

This is so perfect Allie! I did a declutter and the modern renaissance is 1 of the 5 palettes I have left! And I’m one of those girls who can’t seem to do eyeshadow right! Thank you for this ❤️

[@Tephers]

Your tutorials are very easy to understand and I appreciate that so much. I would love to watch your tutorials on everything. Thank you, Allie!

[@fq6648]

This video is amazing and incredibly helpful! I would love to see a video on how to amp up your game and create more complex eyeshadow looks though! Like how to cut your crease, how to create a false crease etc! I would love for you to do that because the way you explain things is so soothing and encouraging! 😍😍

[@annatorres9536]

Love this Allie 💕 you are the best at explaining exactly what you are doing and why!

[@stephaniewilliams5347]

Awesome tutorial!! Great tips. Thanks. Can't wait to try out this technique!

[@kaitlynstotts9007]

Alright girl. I'm about 6 minutes in and I need to applaud you. You are the embodiment of beauty TUTORIALS. You're such a good teacher!!! I know the whole teaching aspect is a bit old school but girl I love it. No one is teaching techniques anymore, and then there's you straight killin it. Thanks for what you do. love you

[@janeentotten3378]

I love how you explain stuff so well. Beautiful look as always 🌸

[@kaushaliuduwela1325]

*In all the years (decades!) I have done & seen Eye Makeup applied - l have NEVER seen such a great job & explanation as this!* _It has really "opened my eyes" to the correct (and most beautiful) way to apply._ *Thanks soooooooooo much!*

This means a lot to me!! 💕❤️ Thank you!!

this video is amazing! feels like a big sister is teaching me how to step up my makeup game.. i will definitely remember your tips the next time i do eyeshadow 💕 thank u so much!

[@anab.6948]

This was so well explained. Its early in the morning and I just had my coffee. I am going to get ready now with using your technique!

[@efratel9]

such precious help, i love watchimg you Allie, you just give this positive energy and kindness. ♥

[@mariacastro2222]

This was very helpful! I’ve been watching other KZbinrs who say not to set your eye primer, but I really haven’t been enjoying how it looks on me. Your makeup style is much more similar to mine (although I certainly don’t have your skills!), so I will go back to setting my primer and trying to achieve a softer, more blended look. Beautiful, as always.

[@irinaarena6291]

This is the hardest part of my routine😭😭 , thanks For this video!! I needed it💓

[@karolaccm]

Your tutorials are really the best you can find on KZbin 😍😍 not to mention you're such a beautiful and charismatic person 😘😘

[@WriterSnider]

So many great tips. Favorited! Especially love the tips for lower lash line and quick brush cleaning.

[@charlynnherrasdiapo1228]

I truly appreciate this tutorial. You are a great teacher. Sometimes I watch these types of videos and feel embarrassed for what I have been doing wrong, like the person is judging me or putting me down. But your tone is so supportive and objective and clear. You truly make me feel like I can do it! Please do more of these videos! I would really like to see one on eyebrows if you have hair only on half inside part and no second half tail. Thank you!!

[@carriecorbin1502]

I always love the way you do your eyeshadows. Your blending always makes your eyeshadow perfect and beautiful

[@klaudia6429]

This is the best tutorial for beginners I've seen so far. I tried it and my makeup looked like it was done by a professional. Thank you so much.

[@fifigrohvoiceovers]

Im new to your channel. You must be a makeup artist. This is hands down the best experience to learn to do great eyes. You are even better than Goss at explaining and showing and making it seem achievable. I'm getting just a wee bit tired of men trying to sell brushes. I think many people are so talented but only a few sort of get noticed or notorious. I mean it, I feel like I can finally get this eye shadow thing down pat, thanks to you hon. Kudos to you.

[@jessyetorneten1589]

So much appreciation for this video! I would love to know anymore tips and tricks you have for when you mess up on application of makeup, or if your eyes water how to fix what the tears have ruined💜

[@aylina9572]

Whoa this is one of the best tutorials i ever watched💗really helped me a lot thanks

[@nikkismom2309]

I have been watching ladies on youtube put on eye shadow for over 6 months. NEVER HAVE I HEARD THESE SMALL TIPS. Loved it, saved it, will watch it as i try my eyes tomorrow! Thx so much. Debbie jones

[@TheAliciaChong]

I love that you continuously try to teach and provide tips to your viewers 💕 One additional tip: if you're a waterproof mascara user like me, to remove mascara marks, rather than waiting for it to dry, take a qtip with a little bit of makeup remover and dab the spot then reblend the eyeshadow after.

[@ginasabatini9070]

Hi Allie, I love this video! You are who I go to , to see how to blend eyeshadow. I would love to see an eyeshadow video on how pick the right brushes during eyeshadow application.

[@jenniferwasko4540]

This is the BEST eyeshadow video I have ever watched! I can't wait to try this.

[@halfofmyheart3167]

The best explanation of how to do eyeshadow that I’ve ever seen! Allie you are sooo amazing at explaining things and giving tips and tricks! This was definitely your calling❣️I can tell you are enjoying helping everyone with your videos 😇 I would love to see different videos focusing on doing different eye techniques, like a cut crease, and any technique using colors and kind of explaining how you look at a colorful palette and know what to do! Eyeliner would be a cool video too.. you could do a series on eyeshadow, liner and so on, bc you definitely are helping so many people 💖 Thank you Allie!... P.S. If anyone ever doubted your choice, or was against your choice to do makeup on KZbin, they were totally wrong!! (I’m just stating this bc I hear so many stories from other people and having their family not agree with their decision to pursue youtube) I can’t wait until you hit 1million!

You are my favorite!! So pretty, this was so helpful! Eyeshadow is one thing I never really new how to do and I just kind of avoided it haha.

this is honestly the best tutorial i ever watched.. thanks for the tips.. :)

[@lifewithcancer916]

This was so awesome Allie!! I would really love if you could do an in-depth video on knowing how to put eyeshadow colors together. I really struggle with stepping out of my neutral colors as you did here. I see girls have these beautiful eye looks with beautiful colors but I will just stare at the palette and can not envision what colors will look good together or the placement of the colors. I do think I could get the placement easier just using the lightest as the transition and gradually use the darker shades and then use a light shimmer on the inner/center of the lid. I would love to be able to look at a palette and see an eye look, be able to look at the colors and know what would look good together. I know some of this just takes time playing with shadows but Im sure you have some great tips on putting colors together. Or even if you have a hand full of colors you know always works well together to get us started. You do eyeshadow so beautifully....it’s perfection!

[@konadelcarmen]

Love your channel ... but anything you do to your eyes will look gorgeous !!!! ❤️
