How to Apply Eye Shadow
Eye Shadow's primary purpose is to enhance the eye's shape. Apply eyeshadow to add simple definition or to make a strong impact, depending on your choice of colour. There are two basic ways to apply eye shadow in shape shading, "rounded" and "winged. Use a small, more pointed eyeshadow brush to run the slightly darker shade of the main color in a thin line along the socket line, working from the inside corner outward. Eye shadows come in in several textures, powders (compacts), pencils, and creams. Powder can be used either dry or wet and it's really easy to control. Pencils are fairly easy to use and Creams tend to be hard to control. A dark tone makes an area recede, while a light or bright shade will bring an area forward. This is why eyeshadow is often sold in containers with two color shades: a dark and light.
Three coordinating eye shadow shades that define, highlight and accentuate any eye color. Always apply a lighter shade under the brow bone to highlight the eyes and darker shades on the lid and the crease of the eye. Using a large, flat eyeshadow brush, apply a light shadow color over your entire eyelid from lash line to brow. Choose a fine brush for the eyeshadow application. the base colour to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease. Eyeshadow is applied to draw attention to the eye which accounts for many shades of purple, blue, green, yellow and orange color that comes in and out of fashion. Choose an eyeshadow color that matches your dress, eye color and face makeup.

Wikipedia About Eye Shadow
Eye shadow is a cosmetic that is applied on the eyelids and under the eyebrows. It is commonly used to make the wearer's eyes stand out or look more attractive.
Eye shadow adds depth and dimension to one's eyes, complements the eye color, or simply draws attention to the eyes. Eye shadow comes in many different colors and textures. It is usually made from a powder and mica, but can also be found in liquid, pencil, or mousse form.
Civilizations across the world use eye shadow - predominantly on females, but also occasionally on males. In Western society, it is seen exclusively as a feminine cosmetic, even when used by men. On average, the distance between eyelashes and eyebrows is twice as big in women as in men. Thus pale eye shadow visually enlarges this area and has a feminizing effect.

In Gothic fashion, black or similarly dark-colored eye shadow and other types of eye makeup are popular amongst both genders.
Many people use eye shadow simply to improve their appearance, but it is also commonly used in theatre and other plays, to create a memorable look, with bright and even ridiculous colors. Depending on skin tone and experience, the effect of eyeshadow usually brings out glamor and gains attention. The use of eye shadow attempts to replicate the natural eye shadow that some women exhibit due to a natural contrasting pigmentation on their eyelids. Natural eye shadow can range anywhere from a glossy shine to one's eyelids, to a pinkish tone, or even a silver look.
