When you want to apply a shimmery eyeshadow, there's no need for a brush or applicator. Simply dip a clean finger into the product and sweep it onto your eyelids. Fingertip application is the ideal way to achieve a soft, diffused look. The secret lies in your hand's natural warmth, which helps spread the eyeshadow around evenly. This technique can also rescue shadow that feels dry and sandy and give it a smoother texture.
Besides convenience, each of your fingers is like its own different applicator. For instance, due to its smaller size, your pinkie is a good tool for a more targeted and precise eyeshadow application. For applying an all-over shimmer, use your ring finger. This digit is gentler since it applies less pressure. To finish, you can either use your ring finger or your middle finger to blend, depending on your preference, as makeup artist Yuui Vision explained to Allure.
Another benefit to using your fingers is that you can apply the product more precisely and avoid fallout. "Rather than swiping or patting, I would recommend using a pressing motion to pack color onto the lid with your ring finger," makeup artist to the stars Molly R. Stern told Makeup.com. "If you want the shadow to move more like paint, get your fingers wet." Additionally, if you want to ensure the shimmery color stays put, consider using an eyeshadow primer first.
