Rich Color
Posted in Yarn | No Comments »Can you recommend an eye shadow where they are rich in color and stay put, never fading?
price is not really an issue, although i am not to crazy about dropping $$$$ on Dior. but whatever you can recommend thanks
I'm going to say M.A.C. I've been using their products for well over 2 years now, and I've tried my share of different brands. I've fallen in love! Not only do they have awesome staying power, they also come in a huge variety of colors and finishes. For longer lasting stay, try an eyeshadow base. I use MAC paint, in bare canvas, and sometimes I'll use a shadestick (beige-ing). MAC also has prep and prime eye, it's a cream similar to concealer that preps the eye for eyeshadow. Another good one is Urban Decay's Primer Potion, and you can find that at Sephora stores. Your eyeshadow seriously will not budge if you use that stuff! But it kind of makes blending a little harder.
Some tips I've picked up for more "vibrant" eyeshadow:
Get some of those desposible sponge tip applicators (can be found at CVS or if you live on the west coast, Walgreens) and pack the color on. Kind of "pat" it on your eyelid until you build up the color you want. use a brush to smooth it out into the shape you want. That's what I used to have to do when I used brands like covergirl and loreal. Now that I use mac...I haven't picked up a sponge tip applicator in a long time! Unless I need it for something special. Anyway though...I tend to ramble when it comes to M.A.C., I love it so much!
