The trick to blending dark colors up into the crease so that they don't overpower the whole eyelid is to blend softly, not pressing too hard. Aim to use only the very tip of the brush while sweeping the color up to the top of the eyelid.
It is possible to over blend eyeshadow colors, just as it's possible to under blend (is that a word?). When blending, you only want to focus on the seam where the two colors meet. If they are complementary colors, you can simply swirl the brush in a circular motion; because they're complementary, overblending won't really be a problem. If, however, they are contrasting colors (black/white, purple/yellow, pink/black, blue/orange), don't swirl. Holding the fluffy brush with your middle finger and thumb as FAR from the bristles as you possibly can, lightly sweep the seam of the colors from left and right, up and down the eyelid. Essentially, this eliminates the top layer of each color and melds them together in that one spot, instead of mixing them completely together.
