So I'm a beginner in make up. When ever I try to put on eyeshadow it doesn't show as much as I want it too. Like it's just all chalky and powder.
I do put on urban decay primer potion before using the eyeshadow. So is their any product I can use to make the colors better or would I just use water?
Thanks in advance. :-)What are some tips to make eyeshadow appeal more brightly?
If you're using a cheap-y brand of eye shadow, that will probably happen. Buy higher-quality eye shadow by big-name brands-- if you don't have the money for brands from Sephora or MAC (who does anymore?) at least buy CoverGirl, Rimmel, or Maybelline.
If that's not your problem, apply it more heavily, or just buy darker shades.
If you're looking for shades that reaally pop, try HIP (High Intensity Pigments) by Loreal Paris. They're definitely stunning.
Hope I helped, love %26lt;3What are some tips to make eyeshadow appeal more brightly?
You could also invest in some very good brushes. Some sweep on a sheerer wash of color and others deposit more intense color. I have Smashbox brushes and I love them!
Other than that I agree that you may need to buy some more quality eye shadows if not doing so already.
use the primer and put a white base on top. use like a big white pencil eyeliner or the mac paint pots. then put the color u want and the white should make it stand out more. or u can ads water to the brush and it intensifies the color as well. =]
what i do is put on eyeliner and then eyeshadow. but i don't think that the urban decay primer works very well, because I think it just dulls the eyeshadow.
Well maybe you should use urban decay eyeshadows with the primer potion!
u could try using water it may help but i would suggest avon products they r the best so far.

What are some good eyeshadow tips?
I am almost 12 and I am doing my makeup and I want to do my eyeshadow good. I feel like I am not doing it well. How sould I do it for my age....Plzz give me instructions..or..links..videos anything. ThanksWhat are some good eyeshadow tips?
Because you are twelve, you don't want to overdo your makeup. Don't wear eyeliner to school (especially not black, especially as a beginner). Mascara is okay if you make sure that it does not smear. For eyeshadow at school stick to more subtle, light, sparkly shades. You want an eyeshadow that contrasts with your eyes so that they stand out (for example, green eyes or blue eyes would use eyeshadows with a reddish tint, and brown is in the center of the color wheel so most colors look good). Light pinks, champagnes, creams, lavendars, light golds, and light browns are good for school. A good yet cheap eyeshadow is maybelline whipeed mousse eyeshadow in lilac dream. It is deleriously shimmery but subtle. Other good eyeshadows that are cheap and easily accessible are maybelline and covergirl. At night you can apply a little bit of eyeliner (I suggest staying away from black) in dark browns, navy, or purple. Brighter eyeshadows are more appropriate but you still want to stay away from dark. Bright blues, purples, or magentas pop out and are in style for spring 2008. When you get to eight grade you can start experimenting more with darker colors but for now you want to look like a gorgeous pro.What are some good eyeshadow tips?
try blending up instead of across (across looks like eyeliner) and try starting off with light browns and maybe some greens ... if you are going in a pageant or a dance or something like that dip the sqeegie into some water and squeeze it till it is damp then use it to apply the eyeshawdow!! ((hope i helped)) :]
When I used to work for Clinique, I LOVED helping young girls learn about skin care and makeup. Maybe you could go to a Clinique counter and have a great experience learning with someone who can give you personalized 1 on 1 help. They will expect you to buy something, and I always recomend at least eyeshadow and mascara because those can be the trickiest to master. Also, since Clinique's products are so gentle, they will be safe on your young skin. Either way, at 12 you don't need a foundation or skin powder, just some color and maybe a good facial cleanser and moisturizer (with SPF!!). If you don't want to go to a department store counter, buy products from Neutragena or Almay because they are also gentle (for the most part) and have flattering, natural colors. Good luck, have fun, and don't forgot SPF!!!
Well a good idea is to wet your brush/applicator and then swipe it in your shadow, it will give you more coverage and a better color. Try http://www.claires.com/beauty_eyes.asp?t鈥?/a> it has tips about your eyes. I'm your age so email me, I'm in desperate need of a pen pal. Hope this helps!!! :-)
My biggest tip for you is to buy yourself a big enough powder brush to do your eyeshadow. It is much easier and the shadow goes on really nice. The sponge tip applicators that come in the package are terrible, don't use them! I learned to do makeup by going into the department store and stopping at the clinique counter. Tell them you've never done your makeup before and you'd like to learn. They'll give you a whole makeover, and you can ask all the questions you want! Then you can take those tips back and find cheaper makeup at a drug store. The best products to buy from the department store counter are eyeshadows, blush and lipsticks because they do have more pigment than what you'll find in cheaper products. So if you decide you want to buy something, those are your two best bets.
Make sure that you pay attention to the tools they use to apply your makeup. That is the only way you can replicate the application at home.
it is not rocket science- just take the little applicator and rub it on your eyelid. make sure that you do not use a very bright or bold color like blues or dark purples
brown eyes- pink shadow
green eyes- light purple or gold
blue eyes- gold or light green
Well if you dont know already, something good to know is to always put the lightest color on top (under your eyebrow) then a medium tone, then a darker tone.
Work with at least a couple colors and blend,blend blend!
Something really important is to use an eyeshadow base. This helps the eyeshadow stay on all day/night and makes the colour really vibrant. I recommned Urban Decay Primer Potion or a MAC paint in Bare Canvas. Or if you are on a budget you can use your foundation or concealer.
Another tip is to never put dark colours in your inner corners because this will close your eyes up and you will look a bit tired. So put a light colour on your lid, a darker colour in your crease and then a flesh colour for a highlight. Also to make your eyes stand out even more put a white or sparkly colour in your tearduct which will really open your eyes.
Also invest in some good brushes because the sponge tip applicators are really not very sufficient for a preciese application. Try Sonia Kushack brushes from Target.
And finally BLENDDDD! Blending is soo important in all aspects of makeup.
youtube probably has a bunch of videos... try to keep it natural. for darker colors follow the crease line and don't go any higher. as an almost 12 year old keep it in the lighter pinks or shimmers unless you are trying to be funky every once in a while
Well, I am 13 and I have been wearing make up for a very long timee.
just use like a white eyeshadow. and some black eyeliner only on your bottom eyelids and just use some mascara.. don't go all in it or it will not loook good for your age....
Hope i helped :D

Can anyone give me smoky eyeshadow tips?
i am going to a wedding, can anyone give me some tips on how to do smoky eye using brown eyeshadow??Can anyone give me smoky eyeshadow tips?
HIP sells a great 2 eyeshadows in a pod for around $6.00 at Walmart. Get the one that has a dark brown and a bronze in it. That's what I use. Also get a good shimmery white. Use the shimmery white under your eyebrows and use the bronze on your eyelids. In the crease of your eyelids, use the dark brown. Do it all very carefully or you will look like a cheap prostitute, and no one wants to look like a prostitute! It should come out really nice and smokey.Can anyone give me smoky eyeshadow tips?
okay, depend on your completion ill tell you 3 types
#1
grey eyeshadow and with your finger but it on your lid
and then in a balck (but not emo black) and blend it on the outside corner of you eye
and a swipe of mascara
#2
simplest
get black eye liner start from the inside corner draw a semi thick line and the other end use the smudger and that makes it smokey
#3
get a a semi deep brown
eye you eyesahdow brush a little wet
and load it with brown and put it on your lid and blend out words
you need 3 colors of eyeshadow. black, gray, and white. you apply the black to your eyelid. then take the tip of the applicator and use that to apply the gray to the crease between the lid and brow bone. apply the white to brow bone, underneath eyebrow. this will give you the ';smokey'; look you want.
The stila talking palate in grey is really good ( i have it)
Um, it tells you how to do it, and has an instruction booklit. but, it literally talks to you to tell you how to apply the eyeshadow. also, for mascara i love fresh brand.
You need 3 shades for this. The lightest for the inside of your lid, the medium shade for the outside.
Use the darkest shade and just form a V line in the crease of your eye and your lash line.
go to this youtube page this girl has lots of great makeup tutorials

Gold & Brown Eyeshadow, tips for making my eyes pop?
I have almond shaped almost black eyes, and I have noticed that my eyes tend to look very small in pictures. I bought a gold and brown eye shadow to make maybe a smokey look to make my eyes pop a little more. I also use liquid liner and mascara everyday. Any other tips on making my eyes pop in pictures? Thank youGold %26amp; Brown Eyeshadow, tips for making my eyes pop?
Apply the gold shadow over your entire eye for a pretty shimmery base. Take the brown and shade it on your outer corner of the eye, making a sideways V-shape, extending a bit past your outer corner to make it appear larger. Then dab a shimmery ivory shadow like Maybelline's Tranquil Sands to your inner corner to brighten the eye, and along your browbone to lift the eye.
Then take the liquid liner and line JUST your top lashline, winging it a tad out at the ends. Curl your lashes for about 10 seconds each and apply mascara.
Hope this helps!Gold %26amp; Brown Eyeshadow, tips for making my eyes pop?
you should cover your lid to the crease in the gold eyeshadow, but dont overdo it. be light with it. next you should get a round blending brush and take some brown. start in the outer part of your crease and go in little circles, staying in the crease. slowly work your way along the crease to about 3/4 to the inside corner of your eye. then maybe take a matte cream or nude color eyeshadow and use that as a highlight on your brow bone! lol and if you want, you can use a white eyeliner pencil or coal pencil and use that on your water line. if not then dont put the liquid liner on your waterline. :) i do this a lot in the summer because its quick, looks really pretty, and makes your eyes pop!
liquid eyeliner can make them look smaller;
and try white eyeliner. it sounds weird but, it'll make youre eyes look wider, so they get noticed moree:)

I need some black eyeshadow tips really quick?
whats the cheapest at walgreens.. do they carry black eyeshadow..
trying to get it to look like lisa presleys makeup look but don't know how.I need some black eyeshadow tips really quick?
I also suggest NYC or Wet and Wild. They are the cheapest. If those brands aren't available, look for Jane or another similar brand. Cover Girl or Maybelline would probably be more long lasting and heavier pigmented though. HiP Pigments are the best drugstore pigments, and the black is very black.I need some black eyeshadow tips really quick?
