Professional makeup artists never use applicators that are in the box with the shadows that you buy. The applicator must have a sufficiently long handle, so that the strokes carried by it are as accurate as possible. Even better, if the shadows are applied with a sponge or a special brush.
If you remember, there are two ways to apply compact shadows: dry and wet. In wet application, the applicator or sponge is wetted in water and then dropped into a box with shadows. Wet application allows you to get a more saturated color of shadows. For example, if you prefer to use the eye make-up palette all the time, daily make-up can be turned into evening make-up using a moist shade application. So do even with the make-up that you did for a day, and then after work go to a party. The main thing is not to forget to grab a box with your favorite shadows.
A brush for applying shadows is used in many cases. It is convenient to apply mother-of-pearl shadows on the upper eyelid, shade the shadows and apply loose powder and powder in the balls.

Professionals always pay attention to preparing for make-up. The skin should be cleaned and moistened. For ages, a tonal remedy and a corrector are applied. One of the versions of the corrector for the eyelids is the concealer. The corrector is designed to disguise dark circles under the eyes, sometimes it helps to create a lifting effect of the eyelids and mask small wrinkles. But this applies only to professional tools. That make-up that is on sale usually only masks such shortcomings as dark circles and bruises under the eyes. The tonal remedy levels the skin tone of the eyelids and facial skin, making them homogeneous. In addition, when applied over a tonal remedy, shadows and other cosmetics fall more evenly and last longer.

However, shadows in a pencil are almost impossible to shade, so they are not suitable for professional make-up.
So, make-up artists usually only use solid shadows. How exactly? Dark shades are applied to the cavities, and light and pearly to the protruding parts of the eyelids. Thus, the game of the color of the shadows emphasizes the natural relief of the eyes. If you need to slightly adjust the shape of the eyes or visually increase them, the shadows are applied as they would be in front of the desired shape and size. Also taking into account where the nature is conceived cavities and protruding parts on the face.

With the help of kayal it is possible to draw a line very close to the line of growth of the eyelashes, or even over the mucosa of the lower eyelid, and do not risk thus getting irritation to the eyes. Dark pencil is usually outlined by the upper eyelid and the outer corners of the eyes, and the lighter - the lower eyelid above the line of growth of the eyelashes. When applying make-up from several shades of shadows, a silver eyeliner is indispensable. They spend a line on the upper eyelid and on the inner corner of the eye. Pencil can make up eyelids. To do this, a line is drawn in the upper eyelid, near the eyelashes, and then with the help of an applicator or specially hard sponge the pencil is shaded for a century.

Colored mascara, depending on the color of the eyes or the colors of the shadows that make-up artists use for make-up, you can color your eyelashes completely or partially. At partial staining, colored mascara is applied only to the tips of the eyelashes, which until then were entirely colored with black ink.
Needless to say, that mascara can be lengthening, twisting, dividing, volumetric, etc. Each type of carcass differs in the composition of the components and the shape of the brush.
