Are you in the mood for something new and radically hot this season? It may be time to try wet eye look, glossy like your lips for extra dramatic and sexy effect. Here is how to apply eyeshadow to achieve it:
According to thekit.ca, layering is key to this extraordinary look.

Quoting the article,
- Start with priming your eyelids, from your lash line to brow. Using an eyeshadow primer will hold on to your eyeshadow and create a barrier between the natural oils on your eyelids and the other layers of this makeup.
- Next, apply your eyeshadow. My first suggestion is to use an eyeshadow that is already an iridescent creamy formula. If all you have are powders, use something that has a shiny or glittery finish to it already. Rimmel HD GlamEyes Eyeshadow wears for up to 10 hours. Combined with a primer—you’re unstoppable!
- For big color intensity and extra layering, place a cream shadow on your primer and an eyeshadow of alike color over the cream. If you don’t want to double up on this step, no problem, use one or the other.
- Matte eyeshadows are also fine for that nude glossy look but if you do, the color of it will likely change. Once anything wet touches a matte shadow, it deepens and changes in appearance. Although, I find black stays black, and white stays pretty close to white. Use the back of your hand to do swatch test with the next step.
- Color-and-fragrance free lip gloss is the final product I would recommend to complete this look. If your cream eyeshadow’s providing you with just enough sheen, you shouldn’t have a problem with creasing. If you want to add extra oomph to that cream eyeshadow, still add a lip gloss.
- Use a synthetic brush to lightly apply the gloss to your lids. Try not to glop on too much at once. But also try to not overwork the eyeshadow you have already placed on your lids. Go close enough to your lash line without touching your lashes to prevent this product from getting into your eyes. Also, avoid the inner corners of your eyes.
Of course, you may notice that this look is a high maintenance choice. It’s seen on the runways and fashion covers way more often than in real life and will definitely not make it to the list of daily choices. But wet eyeshadow look is not only for the catwalk: if you don’t mind touching up a few times during the evening, take this sexy idea to a party or a special occasion outing. You will blow their minds!
