[@inespaul]

loved your approach to this theme! the fact that you didn't call this «do's and don't's» or the «right vs wrong» shows that you can appreciate different techniques and are really talented and skilled! thank you for all your tips! you are truly inspiring

[@epif1]

same, the older I get the more I hate those videos/articles with do/don't or "don't if you are over X age"

[@myfabulouslifewithlupus]

I am glad you didn't call this a "do's and don't's" because that would definitely made me a "don't"; I wear more nuetreals than anything and when attempting color I feel I'd be more comfortable having the softer application that your other powdered technique produced. Thanks for sharing your skills! xo

[@mandysberi]

Yes! I feel that I have ben doing the other side for a while with neutrals and I think it looks best that way when I want a natural, barely there eyeshadow! I only use denser brushes when working with vibrant colors. Still, I got so many tips and can't wait to try it!

[@seaturtlepoppy7679]

I feel that NYX would be a good brand for you to try. I didn’t like them at all because I would have had to use so much product to build up the vibrancy I wanted. But for someone who wants a more toned down approach, they might be for you.

I'd recommend checking out MandyLea! She has done 7 looks with multiple palettes (Identity Two and Kathleen's Lights mega palette with CP for ex.) and she has some really soft and pretty colorful looks that she shows.

[@myfabulouslifewithlupus]

@@MoonlitSunflower Thanks! I will check her out. :)

[@theimperialsage]

I just read on twitter that you are thinking about taking a break. I think we all need a break, even if we are very passionate about the thing we are taking a break from. I know you love making videos and I will continue to watch no matter what. (Go play some games 🕹🎮) ☺

Do a tops and tricks on using blending colors that do with each other in color theory without looking muddy

[@danigriff7785]

Awesome tips

[@mrsunnecessary910]

I know "rules" say mature women should not use bright colors but I love to and WOW, the different crease technique colors look like 2 different colors. Thank you so much for doing a dedicated tutorial

[@sheenagh2012]

It helps a lot, and I am grateful you have taken the time to show us. You are such a lovely lady thank you. x

[@mirandaschneck8451]

I also find that if I'm working with more "difficult" colours or formulas I start by patting on the darkest shade and then taking really small brushes to blend over the edges. That's how I make subculture work because I love that colour story and they are pigments so it's easier that way.

[@ljenkins7317]

Thank You!! I've wondered why I couldn't get the same vibrant looks that I see other people create. Now I think I can do it!

[@paofacu]

How to!!!! Wooooohooooooo

[@sandramorrison99]

I am so glad you showd us what different brushes can do!!!

[@kira5505]

I really like both sides - the softer more defused side is very pretty - closer to what I like during the day. The other side is beautiful and vibrant, and almost feels like a night look - a bit more dramatic. So, both sides are nice, just maybe for different settings or moods.

[@domd2261]

This is so helpful! I’m really glad you didn’t do the other eye stupidly badly, just the way a lot of us would automatically do because that’s how we use more neutral colours. It really shows why my eye looks don’t look quite how I want them to. Thank you 💙

[@aniwiggles4541]

I like both sides. Sometimes I want a soft muted look. Other times I like it loud. Thanks for sharing your tips.

[@tinythingy4]

I actually like to use both techniques depending on what kind of look I feel like x)

[@kagitsune]

Eyyyy, I saw you on NisaPisa's channel 😎

[@tinythingy4]

They are both such quality people!

[@1015SaturdayNight]

tinythingy4 same!

[@starrenee]

Thank you so so much for this video! I am a 52 year old granny who thinks more is more, and you inspire me with your colorful looks. This video is so helpful. I’m always up for furthering my makeup education. I’d love it if you did another video showing ways to use your sigma brush set as well.

[@alienad4224]

I've been binging your vids for few months now. You're so thoughtful and passionate and down to earth we need more ppl like you. 💕 You're such an inspiration! I've been trying new looks, more colorful since I've been watching your videos. Love you 💕

[@AlexRandomemotion]

I'm late for this party, as ever, but: we need more videos likes this in our lives, us colour loving people learning to make it work for us.

[@naomicairns]

Thanks for this technique tutorial. I prefer the “don’t” side as that is more my preferred aesthetic but it’s nice to have an arsenal of techniques to use for applying eyeshadow. Blue is my favourite colour on you. You have a dark blue silk blouse that just looks fantastic. I didn’t watch your closet declutter so hopefully you still have it, lol.

[@tailorandmakeup2212]

Love your colourful eye looks

[@tanjai2854]

You'r so super talented!!!! Gorgeous and talented!!!! Thank you for this video

[@imyourhappydrug]

If you want a bold lid but a very diffused/soft crease, I recommend setting from above the line of the crease to the eyebrow before you start :) That way the lid is still tacky and picks up the pigment nicely :)

[@AngieRival]

very helpful! I've definitely learnt to press on the colour first and then gently blend and it really does help.. Although I need to modify my technique with my hooded eyes too, cheers from Australia!

[@LeorahHallelGoldberg]

Super cool and helpful video! Thank you so much! 😘

[@claudiamnt961]

Love the colorful looks that you've doing. 😚 I get so much inspo from you

[@yensid4294]

Both sides look bright & pretty, I think one side is just "softer" than the other. Could be daytime/nighttime version of bright blue monochromatic eye :) The packing on/blend the edges tip was very helpful for saving time layering, layering,layering to build up the color. Very informative tutorial for working with more vibrant colorful shadows. Thank you Angie 🌈👁

[@nishaetheria6950]

I'm sending this to all my friends who ask me about this. You said/did everything I would've said/done and I don't have the energy to repeat myself to 5 different people lol! Love your vids! Love your makeup💙

[@alb91878]

I love what you did in this video! You really broke it down and simplified everything and really showed the differences in results by using different brushes . Thank you!

[@sinndymorr6358]

Thanks for this video 💜. I am 48. My eye area is dry. The application of powders after primer adds dryness. The technique of patting on the shadow, during the initial application, works best for my eyes. It works best, for me, to apply thinner layers and build up. Thanks for sharing your techniques 💚. Sometimes I get so thrilled to have a color on my eye that I have to tell myself, "SLOW down" lol. A simple tap, into the pan, is all thats needed, at first! LOL..not mopping my floor with a makeup brush!!

[@narutoroxanne22]

Try some organic oil that's best at moisturizing & firming or some organic eye cream... organic oil will work wonders for all the body of course 💙

[@kagitsune]

@@narutoroxanne22 What exact plant oil? What about it being organic makes it more effective? Did this commenter ask for help on their dry lids? Yes, I am being contrarian, but I can't stand seeing vague, unsolicited suggestions with no basis in fact. 😑

[@sinndymorr6358]

@@EmersonDelights Glad you had a laugh!

[@narutoroxanne22]

@@kagitsune I actually didn't say anything mysterious, unprovoked or weak, my comment was clearer than the world's bibles... it's like if you were to go to a dermatologist & they'd recommend something topical to you. Perhaps one went for 1 thing but the doc noticed another & just offered some advice. You can do your own research since you seem so keen on believing things with your own eyes. Organic means the plants powers weren't hindered or altered due to exposure to deadly chemicals &, therefore, is both in full power and has no poison residue.

[@kagitsune]

@@narutoroxanne22 Lol

[@laraconnolly5562]

It's these kind of videos that remind me of why I first got into makeup vids, it's easy enough for anyone to do first impressions/reviews (not that there's anything wrong with that), but sharing what you've learnt with others in a way people can understand & using the bold colours (: hope you are well Ange xo

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

Thank you Lara! :)

[@ayedatmakeup3631]

This helped a lot! You should do another one but with purple eyeshadows since that’s a color that is known to be hard to make and hard to work with

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

I do the same with purple shadows too :) I do have alot of tutorials with purple shadows where I talk through my looks :)

[@jessannbeauty7600]

Loved the way you demonstrated both techniques!

Great informative video! 😘💙

[@1015SaturdayNight]

I use different techniques for different looks, I think both ways are nice depending on what you are after. Thanks for not calling it dos and donts - we already have certain youtubers out there with all caps headlines yelling STOP DOING YOUR MAKEUP LIKE THIS! And it makes me mad LMAO

I have already taken so much inspiration from your techniques, but this actually cleared up some things for me with how you pack and blend colorful eyeshadows and it is so inspiring for me to watch. Thank you so much for a great video and for not cutting any of the work out so we could really see the process!

[@Marie0706]

I love seeing the difference in the two techniques and I can't wait to try that eyeliner with shadow over it tip. Great vid ty Ange!

[@redjarl]

Certainly two different not contradictory approaches: more soft and diffused on one eye and vibrant impactful on the other. I love both. Thank you for sharing👍❤

[@pamdragonfly8744]

I **do** see the difference-this was very helpful.

[@NerdyGirlMakeup]

Love this format! It definitely took me a while to stop setting my primer as well, but once I did it was a game changer. And small brushes are a must!! I always cringe when I see people dive in to bright colors with giant fluffy brushes and then complain about the pigment... 😂

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

Yeah I totally get the cringe-emoji-face hahaha :P

I didnt know i needed this video ...both looks were good , there is a time and a place for each i feel, i love it ..and u look lovely in blue eyeshadow 👌

[@dgs788]

I use a dense fluffy blender brush for mine. It isn't pinched, but it is more dense. Always on a tacky base. But it deposits the color well. Luxie has a nice dense normal blending brush, and it is also good for small eyes. I find the biggest problem is the more layers you add of color, the less tacky the base gets, and the patchier it gets.

[@sara.sara.]

Love this! So useful 💙

[@everichard4601]

congrats on 70k just noticed!

[@daisycate]

Boy such a difference thank you 😊

[@Lyvvie]

I ordered this palette recently and wanted to find some looks for it so I really appreciate your tutorial being done with this palette - two for one! I also notice how the "okay" eye is being manipulated too much and your "BAM" eye isn't being moved around as much; gentler and more impact. I'm pushing 50 so respecting my eyelids is paramount! "Any wettening will do," so licking my brush is a-ok? Awesome! (I know, I'm gross)

[@kells249]

This makes such a huge difference and just goes to show if you take a little more time, and use the right brushes, it really makes the colour pop!

[@jennifervazquez9549]

Love the idea of using the liner before applying the lower lash color! Thank you for sharing!!

[@alexandraclark9742]

So glad I “suggested this” and you already created it! This was before I found your channel but glad I can go back and watch it now.

[@katesommers9586]

I recently bought the sigma blending set and I couldn't believe how much of a difference it made. Great video, I'd love to see more colors.

Good morning!!! I am so in love with the new sigma smaller brushes! I got the ultimate blending set and can't put them down!!

Usually I combine those two techniques. I set my eyeshadow primer under the brow to have more blended blowout look. And I pack bright and dark shadows in the crease and outer corner 😉
