What Is Shimmer Eyeshadow?
Shimmer eyeshadow is a type of cosmetic that is applied to the eyelids, brow bone, and corners of the eyes. Shimmer eyeshadow contains small particles that reflect the light, as opposed to matte eyeshadow, which does not. Both types of eyeshadow add color, interest, and depth to the eyes, and are worn by many women as part of their every day beauty routine. Shimmer eyeshadow may be used in conjunction with matte eyeshadow for a pulled together look, without going overboard with the sparkle. For example, some people choose to only apply this type of shimmery eyeshadow on the brow bone and the inner corners of the eyes, but use matte eyeshadow for the eyelids. This then highlights the brow bone and the eyes, making them look brighter and more open, and making the wearer look more awake.
