You can invest in a few shades to find the formula that works best for you. Some black eyeshadows are cream based and are easy to smudge out whereas other black shadows are more like kohl and tend to stay in place.
You’ll notice that there are different shades of black available. You can find cool blacks that have a cool blue undertone or a warm black that will hold a deeper red undertone.
You’ll want to choose a black shadow that goes with whatever other colors you might wear on your eye lid along with the black. It’s best to start with a smaller brush because that will set the black just where you want it. You can smudge out or buff in from there for a well blended smoky effect.
Or use it with a pencil brush to soften up and set your liquid eyeliner. Black eyeshadow can get messy so be sure to have baby wipes around or use masking tape to keep clean. Different black eyeshadow ideas range from monochrome grays to glittery magical looks. Smokey black eyeshadow also looks great with a bright pop of neon or pastel color.
Black and white or black and silver can create dramatic high contrast effects. Having a couple of different black eyeshadows in your make up kit is essential because you can use them for quick contouring or even to blend out an emergency make up fix.
Wearing black eyeshadow looks is fun because it’s a bold way to enhance your features and play around with creating different colors.
