Some people are afraid to put on make up during the day as they thought that eye shadow make up are only meant for evening wear and during special occasions. But if you are working and your job entails looking good, you can apply eye shadow that is fit for a day look.

If you want to wear a day eye shadow make up, you should keep in mind that less is more. You do not want to wear something dramatic or flashy during the day but gear towards something simple and elegant fit for the professional or nonchalant look.

Here are some great tips and techniques on how you can achieve a nice eye shadow makeup for the day look.

Choosing colours for a day eye shadow

For the day look, choose an eye shadow colour that is two shades lighter or darker than your natural skin tone. Apply the eye shadow on your top lid. Apply two coats of mascara so to add more depth to your eyes. Be careful not to over do your eye make up. Use a good quality eye liner, gel liner or liquid eye liner to add a crisp line on top of your lash bed.

Using eyeliner

If you have large eyes, do not put on too much eye liner or eye shadow. If you have dark eyes, you can do without dark eyeliner. To add contour to your eyes, you can use a dark neutral shade and apply the eye shadow towards the outer corner of your eyes. Finish the look with two coats of clear mascara. Don’t apply heavy eyeliner since for a day make up.

Nude look

The neutral eye shadow day look is also popular among younger women. This is a great technique to bring out the natural beauty of your eyes. The neutral eye shadow make up adds attention to your entire face and not just on your eye make up. The nude look is perfect for a day look.

One colour eye shadow

People on the go use this technique. They simply choose one colour of an eye shadow and use it solely on their eye. Pick something natural looking that will brighten your eye and blend it all throughout your eyelid being careful not to leave sharp lines.

Trio eye shadow

For your day look, you can also use the trio eye shadow technique. Pick three shades of color of the same family. You should have a light eye shadow, a medium one and a dark eye shadow. You will use the light eye shadow as base, the medium eye shadow on the crease and the outer corner of your eye and the dark eye shadow as liner just above your lash bed.
