Only apply a sheer layer to let the bold color pop and avoid diluting your matte lipstick with color.

How To Make Your Eyeshadow Stay Longer

Often we buy a shadow and end up with what we did not expect, the shadow does not show up very well on your skin tone, or the color does not look true to the palette, in that case do not get disheartened, and shove the shadow at the end of your stash drawer, use these simple tips to make the most of the palette and help the color show up on the lips in a much more intense way than you had expected.


Eyeshadow Primer:
Invest in a shadow primer,  it works fine as they set from a creme to a dry finish making your lids a perfect canvas for the color to show up and stick to, so it comes out darker.

Wet brush:
WE see many baked products don't look too well, but use them with a wet brush, or else use your regular shadows with a damp brush so the color comes out at least twice as dark, the fall out is lesser and then the shadow also lasts longer.
Cream Liner:
All your colored or black cream liners will come in handy, line your eyes roughly and then quickly smudge it with ring finger and a brush, this will dry up and give you an amazing darker base, and will last forever, also you could use corresponding colors.
Cream Eyeshadow Palette
Buy a cream eyeshadow palette, these will have many colors, so you can make for a perfect colored base for your shadows, or else your other creme shadows will work great as a base if you don't have a palette.
Black cream base:
This is a very popular trick and it works for all shadows, use a creamy black eye pencil and smudge it over the eye lid as a base, almost all shadows will comes out very intense.

White cream base
This works great too when you want to work with lighter shadows, NYX milk shade jumbo pencil works great, this will intensify the shadow in a softer way, not a very deep color like a black base would.

Mac fix+
Spray some on your brush and then use the shadow, it works perfectly.

Concealer or foundation base
Though the oils in the concealer would melt down your shadow, but conceal or apply foundation, then lightly powder the lids, then go for your eyeshadow application.
Duraline
Inglot duraline is one product you need to have to work with little dryer gel products, but apply very lightly onto the shadow brush and then dip the brush into the shadow, it works superb.

Please, share in the comment, you method of making eye shadows to stay longer.
