Steps
Start with clean, dry eyelids. Apply a thin layer of eye primer or a little concealer and pat it in with your finger so the shadow grips and does not crease.
Sweep a light matte shade over the whole lid up to the brow bone. This evens out the skin tone and gives the other shades something to blend into.
Load a fluffy brush with a mid-tone matte shade. Tap off the excess, then work it into the crease in small back and forth motions.
Keep the mid-tone slightly above the natural crease. On mature lids the crease can sit lower, so placing color a little higher opens the eye.
Use a small brush to press a dark matte shade into the outer corner. Blend it inward in a soft V shape, stopping before the middle of the lid.
Pat a shimmer shade onto the center of the lid with your finger or a flat brush. Keep it away from the crease so it does not highlight texture.
Blend the edges with a clean brush in small circles. If a line looks harsh, soften it with a light matte shade rather than more dark color.
Add a soft line along the upper lash line with a dark shadow on a small brush. Smudge it slightly for a softer look than a hard pencil line.
Finish with mascara on the upper and lower lashes. Check the look in natural light and tidy any fallout under the eye with a cotton bud.
Tips and common mistakes
Tap excess powder off your brush before touching the lid to avoid heavy patches.
Build color in thin layers instead of pressing hard once, which is easier to control and blend.
Use a light hand on the outer corner, since dark shades are harder to soften on mature skin.
Wash brushes every week or two to keep blending smooth and prevent irritation.
Questions
Do I need the Natasha Denona palette to do this look?
No. Any palette with a light, mid-tone and dark matte plus one shimmer will work. The technique matters more than the brand.
How do I stop eyeshadow creasing on hooded or mature eyes?
Use an eye primer and keep cream products thin. Set the lid with a light matte shadow before adding the darker shades.
What if my eyeshadow looks patchy?
Blend with a clean brush and add a light matte shade over the patchy area. Then rebuild the color in thin layers.
