When you get tired of wearing the same eyeshadow every day, it is time you start experimenting. The simplest experimentation there is, is using two tones of eyeshadow. The trick here lies is finding those shades that match each other well. As for the ways of application, there are two main ones:

  • Upper and lower lid
  • You can use two different colors on your upper and lower lids so that the contrast brings up your eyes best.
  • Two tones blended
  • If you are unwilling to create contrast using two different shades on both of your lids, you can always come with a compromise.
  • All you need to do is to cover your lid with a lighter shade and then add a darker one to the outer corner of your eye.

However, I personally love to combine it with a cute soft pink eye look with golden shimmer and really natural skin and lips.
