”Hi Helena, I love your makeup and how you post pictures with step by step display, makes it so easy for me to buy these shadows and try to get an equivalent result. However, I have a hard time getting the shadow at the outer edge because I do not know what the shape should look like or how far to go? I never make an eyeliner wing because I never get it nice so have thought to ignore it o just put eye shadow, but then the shape is o how far out to paint a problem o know, please you can not you put up o show steps for step how to do =) / Malin.”
Hi Malin! What fun that you like my makeup!
This is a very common question, and it has slightly different answers. But if you want to make it as easy for yourself as possible, I usually follow the eye's natural shape.
This is how I usually think:
- Eyeshadow out to the end of the eyelid, type where the eyelashes end
- Just above the globe line when looking straight ahead, then down towards the outer corner of the eye…
- … And down towards the lower lash line so that you connect the eyeshadow on the top with the underside in the outer corner of the eye.
Then you get an eye shadow shape that follows your own eye shape :)
Here you see step by step too!
Tip!
♥ Look straight ahead in the mirror when you shape the eye shadow, then you will see more clearly what your eye shape looks like if you stretch your eyebrow and half-look into the mirror.
♥ Use a smaller brush for the outer corner of the eye and the lower lash line than the one you use on the top of the eyes, it is much easier when you have precision. I use Nanshy Pencil Brush to it.
The rest of this make-up you will see finished pictures in a post soon :)
Hope you understood my pictures, just write a comment if you have any questions!

When you have eye shadow in the rounding at the outer edge, it is easily watered so it can get smudged there ... how should you think?
Yes, if you have very watery eyes, it can be so even though you have a good eyeshadow primer, then I would probably recommend putting a waterproof eyeliner pen there instead, and just blur a little with the shadow in the outer edge of the eyeliner pen.
You are so very good Helena !!! So heavenly good and educational posts!
Thank you how happy I am! <3
Thank you for a simple description, may try to test this now and see if I myself make dt look good.
