Working on Eyeshadow in Photoshop

by BarryHilton, Adult NetSurprise

Enhancing or adding yor own eyeshadow to a photo can greatly alter the appearance giving completely different looks, even with the same photo :) We'll start with our original photo, below.

In our example, we will use the girl we made in our 'Eye Color and Eye Whites' tutorial. This photoshop file has three layers, the original girl (background layer), eye color and eye whites layers. This is our starting point for our Eyeshadow tutorial...

First, we'll do the eye lid Eye Shadow... To do this set the Lasso Marquee to 1 Feather... Next, select the orignial girl layer and draw the marquee around one eye, starting in the corner by the nose draw in a semi-circle following the line of the eye lid around the eye and along the bottom getting closer to the eye itself nearing the nose.

Hold shift on your keyboard and draw around the second eye, this will add to the selection. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection and then Ctrl+V to paste it to a new layer. This layer should be above the original girl layer and below the eye color and eye whites layers.

Using Hue/Saturation (Images > Adjust > Hue/Saturation), tick the 'Colorize' box and adjust the shade of your eyeshadow. In our example we want a dark brown color...

Now we'll do our larger eyeshadow, around the eye and faded towards the eyebrows. First we need to make our selection using the lasso marquee, only this time set to a 3 pixel feather. This will create a blurring of the edges so they seem to fade into her skin tone.

Select the original girl layer and draw the marquee, again starting in the eye corner near the nose... Draw an egg shape, following just below the eyebrow, around the side of the eye and along the bottom, slightly below the actual eye, again getting closer to the eye as you near the nose.

Hold shift on your keyboard and draw around the second eye, this will add to the selection. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection and then Ctrl+V to paste it to a new layer. This layer should be above the original girl layer and below the eye lid eyeshadow layer you made previously.

Using Hue/Saturation (Images > Adjust > Hue/Saturation), tick the 'Colorize' box and adjust the shade of your eyeshadow. In our example we want a brown color, although this time we will make this layer lighter than our eye lid eyeshadow.

Now we need to make our eyeliner :) Select the original girl layer, then using the lasso marquee layer set at one pixel feather... draw around the eye, along the line of the eye lashes.

Hold shift on your keyboard and draw around the second eye, this will add to the selection. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection and then Ctrl+V to paste it to a new layer. Using the layers menu, click and drag this layer above both the two eyeshadow layers, but below the eye color and eye white layers.

Using Hue/Saturation (Images > Adjust > Hue/Saturation), tick the 'Colorize' box and adjust the shade of your eyeshadow. In our example we want a very dark brown color, this time we will make this layer much darker than our eye lid eyeshadow.

In our example we then set this layer to 40% transparency, to give a dark line without being too hard or brash.

Lastly, to give a more realistic look, we need to correct our eyeshadow inside the eye lid... to do this, select the original girl layer and use the lasso marquee, set at one pixel feather to draw inside the eye, above the eyelashes.

Hold shift on your keyboard and draw around the second eye lid, this will add to the selection. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection and then Ctrl+V to paste it to a new layer. Using the layers menu, click and drag this layer above both the two eyeshadow layers and the eye liner layer, but below the eye color and eye white layers.

Here is our example, showing the original photo, eye color and eye whites adjustment and our final photo... Experiment and have fun :o)
