Hey guys!!! Sorry i have been away, I caught a cold or a cold caught me.
Today we are blending our eye shadow to perfection
First of all, you'll need to recognise when something is actually blended nicely. There is however not a truly clear opinion on that. Some people like things a little bit differently but for the sake of this article let's just say that something is blended properly when you have a nice colour gradient going on without any harsh lines.
Under blended:
At first sight this eye look might look fine to you, but under closer inspection you can see the harsh lines on the outer corner towards the brow bone and a lack of a true gradient when the eye is closed. A little bit more blending on the outer edges would make this look a lot less harsh.
Over blended:
In this case, someone's been a bit too excited with the blending brush. When you over blend the colours become muddy instead of there being a nice gradient. They kind of go all over the place and create a look that's probably a lot more subtle than you wanted.
Over blending happens more easily than you think, but it's easy to resolve as well. Just reapply the eye shadow until you're happy and then blend again. It's very normal to reapply, and it's very normal to lose definition as you blend.
Just right:
There's a much nicer gradient from light to dark going on with the colours. There are no harsh edges but there's still a lot of definition and depth created by the placement of the eye shadow colours. Keep in mind that what you regard as 'just right' might also depend on what you are going for.
