To apply dark eye makeup, first apply a cream base in a light to medium colour for a smoother appearance, brush on dark eyeshadow with a tapered brush in the crease. It will give you a nice contrast without looking trashy.I just got really dark eyeshadow how can i put it on to make it look nice and not a disater?
The best way to take care of this is simple but will take some practice at the same time. Its always good to put a primer on your eyes to make sure the eyeshadow doesnt crease or et clumpy with time (Try: Urban Decay's primer, its sold at Sephora). Next, do NOT rely on your finger to do a great job. Invest in the proper brushes. Its always good to have a small to medium sized eyeshadow brush that can fit perfectly in the crease of your eyelid and spread eyeshadow evenly everywhere. As far as applying eyeshadow goes, you are right, dark shadows can be tricky. You have to take your time until u r good at it. make sure your crease of your eyelid is the darkest shaded part on your eye. From Crease up should be lightest, and crease down should not be too light or too dark. (Sorry this answer is long, but i know my make up applications) Also, to create a more sophisticated effect, the inner corner of your eyes should be lined with shadow, as well as the bottom lashline (best for a smokey-eye look).





Good luck ... practice makes perfect! :)
use your fingertip and apply the dark shadow just on your eyelids. then take a bronzey color and apply that on top of the dark and blend them together. This makes dark colors remain dark but it also gives it a little bit of a glowy sparkly effect.
got o MAC make up or to a department store and ask them to do you eye shawdow using a dark color so that you can see how to do it...it should be free but i think at Mac you have to spend like $50 for the make over
