How to Make an Eye Shadow Box
To make an eye shadow box, start by gathering your materials. You will need a small box that is at least 3 inches wide by 2 inches deep and 1 inch tall. You will also need several different colors of eye shadow, a brush, and a mirror.
To begin, fill the small box with one color of eye shadow. Use the brush to apply the shadow evenly to the lid and crease of your eye. Use the mirror to check that the color is evenly applied. If it isn’t, use the brush to remix the color until it is perfect.
Next, add another color of eye shadow to the palette and repeat steps 2 and 3. Be sure to mix up the shadows so that everyones eyeshadow looks different. Once all of your shadows are finished, store them in an airtight container for later use.
