How to Apply Eyeshadow Like a PRO | Complete Beginners Guide

[@andreavin3674]

Thank you for the real talk. It's nice to find a makeup artist who will say how it is instead of simply going all 'this is sooooo easy, seeee?' This is what motivates me to keep trying.

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

You are a great teacher and even though I'm 70 years old I still love makeup and you don't have to put on a lot to look nice thank you my dear

[@Alextate152]

I am 63 and just happened to watch your video because I was looking for something to help update my “more senior look.” Even though I’m not a beginner, I have to say I was impressed with the video, your style and Grace. You have a presence that’s needed in this world, especially for impressionable women looking for a role model. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re good at what you do but you have a light that shines brighter than any makeup ever could. Chaplain Carolyn

You are so sweet for taking time to go through the eye shadow application. I haven't worn eyeshadow in years. I got an eyeshadow palette last week. I have been worried about my first attempts at it with "older eyes". And, wondering how to use the different brushes. I am saving this video to help me. The biggest gift you gave me was saying its ok to make mistakes and putting yourself in my shoes so to speak. Now, I am ready to have fun and play. Thank you, sweetie.

[@RochelleLong924]

I love the positivity of this comment!

[@joansmith6844]

Many feel the same way as yourself.. S Zabrina is honest & so good at teaching ☝️

[@cb5156]

Yes, she really is.

[@theresas2520]

Practice for sure. Before you go to bed is a good time and then you can just wash it off ya know. If it wasn't for KZbin I would be clueless! I wish I had YT when I was younger.

[@Zabrena]

You are most welcome!! Enjoy the process and I know you'll get this in no time! HUGS!

[@kimberlyeakes6254]

I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for teaching an old woman new tricks !

[@suzyzoofan1]

This is a fantastic video. I've watched you for years, and I've picked up on most of these tips, but I really appreciate this all in one video. I've learned so much from you. I've so enjoyed wearing makeup for 43 years, and it's very fun to watch your simple ideas that can look just the right amount of "dramatic".

[@TheGuGuSssS]

The blending shade trick saved my life, and I learnt it from you! Thank youuu

[@jackiemonk3542]

I'm 66 and have always done my eyes first. That was the first rule of thumb I was taught by an hairdresser way, way back in my junior high years. I enjoy your videos.

[@moodindigo770]

Dear Zabrena, I heard you saying that you mastered the outer V five years ago. That's not true! Since I'm watching your videos for more than 7 years now (and I'm in the makeup world for more than 2/3 of my life) I have to say that I always believed that your blending skills are amazing. You 're a natural, girl! Also I'm so happy to watch a "how to" video from you again. Utterly delightful!

[@pamcooke61]

I’ve been watching your videos for years and this video was one of the very best! Thank you and I learned so much!! Thank you dear!!!

[@nivimb795]

The best tip to learning how to apply eyeshadow is knowing your eye shape. I did not know what hooded eyes were and did not know I have hooded eyes. I hated applying eyeshadow because it never showed so I gave up till recently. Now makes life so much easier

[@elisemarkley7866]

Thank you. This was so informative. I like how you said to put moisturizer on your eyelids. I was never quite sure if I should.

[@40rtypluss14]

Way more careful than I worry about personally, and I don't have issues with creasing or blending, despite oily skin and heavily hooded eyes. But I love seeing what others are doing and learning from what they have to say. I also really love your spirit. I love that even when you keep your channel fairly spiritually benign, the Spirit shines through. Be blessed!

[@unchainyourbrain3312]

Yes! Zabrena has come back for me...the indefinite beginner.

[@kimc555]

One of my favourite type of your videos! I’ve been wearing makeup for oh…. 30years but still love learning & watching others do their own.

[@barbarawright9123]

I am a seasoned pro AND I love to hang out with you! Today I learned to apply crease shadow in circular motions. I've been doing the windshield washer swipe in the banana. Can't wait to try your technique!

[@dragosisters8548]

I just love you. You're beautiful both inside and out. I think I'm an old woman that has been stalking all your tutorials. I just can't thank you enough. I have learned so, so much from you! My health has been declining horribly for the past few years and I just looked terrible. Started buying makeup, per your tips and others as well, and cut my hair off thinking if I looked better, maybe I would feel better. Again, I just cannot thank you enough and I am a follower of Christ and so love your joy!!! By the way, I found the IT #5 brush on Ebay for $14.99 and bought two, if you or anyone is looking for it. God Bless you and yours!

[@oxfordstyle5807]

Such an amazing video! Definitely saving to refer to later :)

[@tiffanysullivan2839]

Thank you for being so understanding and detailed in this video. I'm 30 and just now learning to do makeup. My ex never would let me use it. But any who I can't wait to see more videos and again thank you for being so detailed in this. This has been the most useful video I have seen by far.

[@Hummingbow]

Hi Zabrena! I bought the lip fix that you recommended and OH MY GOSH my lipstick does not MOVE. Even wearing a mask it lasts all day! Thank you! I’m so pleased with it!💗

[@darlagay2731]

WoW!! Been doing my makeup for years and I thought I knew it all, very awesome demonstration, I learned a lot and am changing my routine and getting new brushes.....Thanks so much. Luv the color of your eyes and hair.

[@victoriac.attorneyatlaw]

Thank you for being an inspiration and supportive of those of us who are not "gifted" with the art of make up application! It is a goal of mine to be able to do professional looking make up on myself. The last time I had my make up done professionally, it made such a difference (for a dance performance) I was turning heads and getting compliments. Thats the goal. Rome wasn't built in a day!

[@born_confused]

This was an excellent step by step in depth tutorial. You're an excellent teacher zabrena, I loved every second. Even though I'm doing makeup for 30 years I still found it so helpful and great to watch. You're a natural born teacher😍

I have been doing eyeshadow for a number of years and I know this isn’t a new video but I was drawn to it and I still can learn some tips. Great video.

It was my sincere pleasure! :) Thank you for being here and your kind words!

[@deedeeannash]

@@Zabrena 💖You have been helpful to me from the very first video I found, several years ago. It's especially good right now to have your ongoing contributions that make even this strange era feel something like normal. I thought I'd submit a video request here. Would you consider a series of "shop my stash" type videos, where you focus on a full face of makeup with your favorite high-end / drugstore dupes? Some of us are not so much concerned with the latest new products, but trying to find motivation to use the great items we own. Thanks Zabrena 🤗

My eyes looked like they were professionally done!!! Mind blown!!!! Going to keep this up with this and all my palettes!!! I’m shook and wish I had tried this sooner!!! GAMECHANGER!!!!!!!!!!!

[@meljstephan]

My recommendation for eyeliner is: you don't have to wear it. 😂 I struggled for years trying to get better at eyeliner application and then realized I simply don't like wearing eyeliner. So I just don't. It's much easier. Always remember that makeup should be fun, personal, and express your personality. At the end of the day, it washes off, so have fun and don't worry about matching what others are doing.

[@dianebaileymusicministries]

I am going to try no eyeliner.

[@lemonade9922]

I always use a flat brush and use a dark eyeshadow. And just kinda smoke out a wing. Eyeliner is just so messy to me. And I get so much anxiety trying to do it and not mess up all my other work

I never wear eyeliner. I just don't like the way it looks on me.

[@lewisbyrd7547]

I just found your station today, and I’m so happy I did. I find you packed a lot of information into your video at a reasonably slow time period ( i a fair fair bit older and methods have changed so much, for example we used to start our eyes with o neutral shade all over and then use either black, dark grey or various shades of brown in the crease, then use a coloured pencil inside the bottom lid (blue if your eyes were blue, green if your eyes were green, I can’t remember what colour for brown eyes etc etc) then mascara tops & bottoms & done. I will be watching your video over & over until I get your method. Thanks & I’ll be watching your new videos

[@DollyKauionalani]

I'm so glad that I found your channel! Thank you for being so encouraging. I'm 45, and am just now learning how to apply makeup. Silly, I know, but I've just never had an interest. Now I actually have some self esteem, and am enjoying looking my best every day! But this learning late in life learning thing sucks. One day I feel like I'm getting the hang of it, and the next I'm so frustrated that I wipe it all off and go to work naked faced. I really do appreciate your encouraging words!

[@roger12393]

This was a great video. One of your very best!! Thank you for this. I would like to see you address different eye shapes and how to apply eyeshadow. I think a lot of women get frustrated after watching videos and can't get the same look as in the video and it all has to do with eye shape which a lot of women maybe don't even know.

[@PamPam6105]

Thank you so much for your time and tips Zabrena.🧡

I too was hooked on NYX's Proof It eyeshadow primer. I think it's been discontinued, I can't find it anywhere. I now use Wet n' Wild's Pure Focus eyeshadow primer, it works really well.

[@AB-ez1eh]

Same! Can't understand why they'd discontinue something so good and widely loved

Any tips for using wetnwildprimer. It dries patchy on me it's almost cakey and crusty. Mind you my lids are full oily so i don't understand what i'm doing wrong.

I was going to question my doctor about it when I go in for my checkup but I don't want to complain.....I'm so thankful I can see "any" of my eyelids. Btw I love your hair color!!
