I usually use my foundation, it helps the eyeshadow grip onto your eyelid making it last longer. You can also use a face primer which is meant to go under make-up. To make your eyeshadow hold longer I recommend closing your eyes covering your forehead and spraying your eyes LIGHTLY lol with hairspray. It works like a dream and is extremely practical.

Eyeshadow base or, the common term is Primer, is a transluscent or lightly tinted liquid formula that you apply to your eyelid before you apply your eyeshadow to get the full colour of your shadow.

An eyeshadow base is a product that is first applied to your eyelid. It's purpose is to help your eyeshadow last longer and/or make the shade of your eyeshadow more vibrant.

Some great products to use are: ' Urban Decay Primer Potion', "Too Faced Shadow Insurance', 'M.A.C paint pots (come in varies colors). Although these products can be a bit pricey they are well worth it. If you are on a budget, a simple eyeliner may work as a base. A popular one would be 'NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils'. They are mostly found in your local drug store and can be purchased in various colors.

Cream eyeshadow is an eyeshadow that is in a cream form. It is nice base for powder eyeshadow or it can wear alone by itself if that cream eyeshadow doesn't crease or fade.

How do you do your makeup like Taylor swift?

First you have to get black liquid eyeliner. Line your top eyes with the liquid and wing out. Line the bottom of your eye with black eye liner in pencil. A peachy eyeshadow color is used on the lid before putting on the liquid eyeliner. Add a dab of white eyeshadow on the inner corners of your eyes and there you go.


What eyeshadow goes good with hazel eyes?

brown or green will work well I have hazel eyes and have been wearing makeup for two years, so I think I can help you. I recommend light green, light brown, or glitter. Also, the best eyeshadow application is this: put your lightest (example) pink from the top of the eyelid to your eyebrow and your regular (example) pink over the eyelid. Use your darkest (example) pink in the corners. Also: don't use an eyeshadow that matches your blush; it sounds cool but it is NOT. You should also try a subtle purple.
