To blend eyeshadow without harsh lines, start with a transition shade close to your skin tone, use a soft fluffy brush, and blend with light pressure in small windshield-wiper or circular motions. Add deeper shades gradually and blend each one before adding the next.
Blending basics
| Step | Why |
|---|---|
| Transition shade first | Creates a soft base for deeper colors |
| Soft, fluffy brush | Diffuses edges |
| Light pressure | Moves color without lifting it |
| Build slowly | Easier to control |
