How to Apply the King Kylie Eyeshadow Palette for a Night Out

Quick Answer

For a night out, focus on building depth with matte shadows in the crease, then apply a shimmer shade to the center of the lid for dimension. Use the King Kylie Eyeshadow Palette's versatile shade range to create a smoky, long-lasting look.

How to Apply the King Kylie Eyeshadow Palette for a Night Out

1. 1. Prep the Lid: Apply an eyeshadow primer or concealer to your entire eyelid and blend it out. This step prevents creasing and helps the shadows appear more vibrant, especially the shimmers. Skipping primer can cause the shadow to fade or crease before the night ends.
2. 2. Set with a Base Shade: Using a fluffy brush, sweep a matte shade close to your skin tone (like a light beige or cream) all over the lid up to the brow bone. This creates a smooth canvas for blending. A base shade prevents harsh lines when you add darker colors.
3. 3. Build the Crease: Take a medium matte brown shade on a tapered blending brush. Apply it to the crease in windshield-wiper motions, focusing on the outer V. Gradually build up the intensity for a smoky effect. Common mistake: applying too much shadow at once. Build slowly to avoid a muddy look.
4. 4. Deepen the Outer Corner: Using a smaller pencil brush, apply a dark matte shade (like a deep charcoal or espresso) to the outer third of the lid and blend it into the crease. Keep the movement tight to the lash line. Blend the edges well so there's no harsh line between the dark and medium shades.
5. 5. Apply Shimmer to the Lid: With a flat shader brush, pat a shimmer shade onto the center of the eyelid. Use a tapping motion instead of sweeping to maximize the pigment and prevent fallout. Wet your brush with setting spray for a more intense metallic finish.
6. 6. Highlight the Inner Corner and Brow Bone: Use a small brush or your fingertip to apply a light shimmer shade to the inner corner of the eye and just under the brow arch. This brightens the eye and makes the look pop. Too much shimmer on the brow bone can look heavy; stick to a small amount.
7. 7. Line and Finish: Apply eyeliner along the upper lash line and smudge a dark shadow under the lower lashes for depth. Finish with mascara or false lashes to complete the dramatic night out look. Make sure the lower lash line shadow is blended so it doesn't look like a separate line.
