Playing up your eyes with eyeshadow is just something else. There is so much scope to experiment that you just can’t resist buying different palettes. While eyeshadows look super pigmented in the pan or in bottles and tubs, the shades do not always translate well when applied to the skin. Sometimes eyeshadow shades do look less pigmented on application, but don’t let that bring you down! A few simple hacks can help redeem your lesser-pigmented eyeshadows to make them appear super vivid and vibrant. Here’s all the T.
4 Game-Changing Eye Makeup Hacks To Try
Prime Witness
If you’ve never used an eye primer before, you will be surprised at how much of a difference it makes in increasing the pigmentation of various eyeshadow shades. Just prep your lids with an eye primer and then begin applying your eyeshadow; you will notice how the colour just sticks and goes on so much more opaque. Clear eye primers do fine for making eyeshadows look more pigmented, but if you want some hardcore vibrant colour to pay off, opt for tinted white eye primers.
White Vision
An easy hack to boost your eyeshadow’s pigmentation tenfold is with white eyeliner. This hack is especially useful for neon eye makeup looks or other vibrant pop colours. Simply smear a white eyeliner on your lids and blend it well. Then, begin applying your vibrant eyeshadow shades and behold how bright they look.
Starry Night
Ever find some of your shimmer or glitter eyeshadows to look less shiny or impactful when applied to your lids? That’s just how it’s going to be if you didn’t know this hack we are about to let you in on. Prepping your lids with a dark eyeshadow like black or brown before applying glitter will really come through on its promise to boost colour payoff. It works as a dark base and lets those shimmers and glitters really shine their best. Also, remember to tap on glitter and shimmer pigments instead of using sweeping motions.
The Set-Up
A makeup setting spray can do more than just set your makeup. It can also make your eyeshadow look super opaque. All you have to do is dampen a brush with makeup setting spray and dip it into your powder eyeshadows. When you apply the shades, you get enough pigmentation and control to even use it as eyeliner.
Now that you’re in on these nifty hacks, your eyeshadow game is surely going to get fiercer.
