Eye shadow is a cosmetic applied to the eyelid and under the eyebrow. This is usually used to make the wearer's eyes stand out or look more attractive.
Eye shadow can add depth and dimension to one's eyes, complete eye color, make one's eyes look bigger, or just draw attention to the eye. Eye shadow comes in a variety of colors and textures. Usually made of powder and mica, but can also be found in liquid, pencil, cream or mousse.
Civilizations worldwide use eye shadow primarily in women but also sometimes in men. In Western society, it is seen as a feminine cosmetic, even when used by men. In Gothic mode, eye shadow is black or similar to dark color and other types of eye makeup are popular among both sexes.
Many people use eye shadow just to enhance their appearance, but also commonly used in theater and other games, to create an impressive look, with bright and bold colors. Depending on the color of the skin and experience, the effects of eye shadow usually bring charm and attention. The use of eye shadow tries to mimic the natural eye shadows shown by some women because of the natural contrast pigmentation on their eyelids. Natural eye shadow can range from a glossy shine to a person's eyelid, with a pink tone, or even a silver look.

Use
Eye shadow can be applied in various ways depending on the look and the desired formulation. Usually the application is done using a finger or brush. The most important aspect of applying eye shadow, and makeup in general, is to blend well. However, you should not forget to include a primary to limit the possibility of creases in your later eye shadow.
To eliminate eye shadow, commercial eye makeup removers can be used, although a rich face wash will usually remove all traces of color. Generally easy to remove, and water and simple soap can be used. Eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara can also be removed using baby oil. There is also a makeup tissue that can be used.

History
Cosmetics have been used as long as anyone uses them. The face painting is mentioned in the Old Testament (The Book of Ezekiel 23:40), and the shadow of the eye is used in Egyptian burials since 10,000 BC. The word "cosmetae" was first used to describe Roman slaves in charge of bathing men and women in perfume.
Egypt
In the early 10,000 BC, men and women use perfume and ointments to cleanse and soften their skin and cover up body odor. Dyes and paints are used to color the skin, body and hair. They polish their lips and cheeks, stain their nails with girlfriends, and twist their eyes and eyebrows with kohl. Kohl is a dark-colored powder made of crushed antimony, burnt almonds, lead, oxidized copper, ocher, ash, bronze, and chrysocolla (blue-green copper ore) or a combination thereof. It was applied with a small stick. The upper and lower eyelids are painted with lines extending to the side of the face for almond effect. In addition to reducing solar glare, it is believed that kohl eyeliner can restore good eyesight and reduce eye infections. Kohl is kept in a small, flat-bottomed pot with wide and small rims, and a disc-shaped cover.
According to the images of that time, the use of makeup is not limited to women. Very fine silver and copper mirrors help with makeup applications.
Greek
In Greece, precious oils, perfumes, cosmetic powders, eye shadows, skin glosses, paints, beauty ointments, and hair dyes are used universally. The export and sale of these goods form an important part of trade around the Mediterranean. During the 7th and 8th centuries BC, Corinthian, Rhodian, and Eastern Greek merchants dominated the market in perfume bottles and cosmetic containers. The containers include aryballoi, alabastra, pyxides and other small special shapes.
Roma
Men and women in the Near East paint their faces with kohl just as the Egyptians did. This is to protect them from 'evil eye'. After the defeat of the Greeks by the Romans, the Romans adjusted Egyptian customs, albeit with different aims. For the Romans, applying eye shadow becomes a matter of fashion and aesthetics. Other cosmetics take drug applications in Rome. The plagues were so rampant throughout Rome that the sap and the aromatic resin were burned to drive out demons and evil spirits.
Materials
Common ingredients in the eye shadow consist of powder, mica, sericite, magnesium stearate, dyes, and preservatives. Fillers in eye shadow especially talc. The liquid binder is usually silicone and the dry binder is usually magnesium stearate. To make eye shadows, there must be a balance between the filler, the dry binder and the liquid binder.
