If you’re on the go or don’t have any makeup brushes on hand, a liquid eyeshadow will probably be the easiest to apply. They typically come with their own applicators built-in (eliminating the need for an eyeshadow brush) and can be blended easily with your fingers. Similarly, pencil eyeshadows, like our Jumbo Eye Pencil, can be drawn directly onto your eyelids and blended out with your fingers for a soft, subtle look. If you’re using powder shadow, stick with something simple. You can dip your finger into a lightly sparkly eyeshadow and pat it onto your lid for a hint of color and shine, but we’d advise against attempting a more detailed look—your fingers won’t offer the same precision as a brush.
