Welcome to the Beginner’s Guide to Makeup! Eyeshadow is a highly versatile and useful product. But what do you do at the end of your eyeshadow look? Sometimes, a little cleanup is necessary to ensure that your eyeshadow looks great and lasts as long as you need it to. In this blog post, we will explore effective techniques for cleaning up your messy eyeshadow look and achieving a flawless result.
Messy Eyeshadow? Go Over Your Eyes with Concealer
Ensure a smooth base for your eyeshadow by applying concealer to your eyelids. Instead of using a white eyeshadow base, opt for a concealer that matches your skin tone.
This will help even out the pigments on your eyes. After applying concealer, gently dust some translucent powder over your eyes to set the base.
Do It First
To prevent your eyeshadow from ruining the rest of your makeup, apply it first. By doing this, you have better control over the eyeshadow look and can easily clean up any mistakes.
Once you’re satisfied with your eyeshadow, proceed with the rest of your base makeup without worrying about smudging or fallout.
Messy Eyeshadow? Use a Wipe
If you prefer applying eyeshadow before the rest of your makeup, you can clean up any fallout or mistakes with a makeup wipe. Use your finger to gently remove excess eyeshadow or smudges.
Flat Angled Brush
A flat angled brush is a simple yet effective tool for cleaning up your eyeshadow. After completing your makeup, use a small amount of concealer on the back of your hand.
Then, use the brush to pick up the concealer and carefully swipe it from the end of your eye all the way up to your temple. This technique not only cleans up any eyeshadow fallout but also creates a lifted effect.
Messy Eyeshadow? Blend Things Out with a Clean Brush
To soften and blend the eyeshadow, use a clean brush. Gently blend out the edges of your eyeshadow to achieve a seamless transition and ensure a polished look. This step will help soften the pigment without requiring much effort.
Powder Puff
After completing your eyeshadow look and overall makeup routine, use a powder puff to go over the bottom of your eyes. This trick can help remove any excess eyeshadow or fallout, giving you a clean and tidy finish. Learn more about powder puffs here!

If you find that you have a darker shade on the bottom of your eyeshadow, use a round brush to apply the dark eyeshadow specifically to the bottom of your eye. This technique can help balance and enhance your eyeshadow look.
