The perfect eyeshadow allows a woman to feel like a fairytale heroine with lovely features complemented by bewitching eyes. However, the fantasy only lasts as long as the eyeshadow remains. Once the powder rubs off or thickens into the crease on the skin of your eyelids, your eyes appear very unappealing.
One sensible way to avoid this problem is to purchase certain brands that promise enduring eyeshadow. You can find a variety of eyeshadow in different colors that lock the color to the skin. Hence, the eyeshadow is almost permanent for the whole of the day and even into the night. Revlon’s ColorStay 12 Hour Eyeshadow is a good buy at a relatively cheaper price.
The alternative to spending money on lasting eyeshadow is the following eight substitutes, the basis of which depends on a creamy base to coat the lids to increase the staying power of the eyeshadow.
1. Apply a thin layer of eye shadow primer before you decide on your choice of eyeshadow. You can find some good eyeshadow primers in the market; some of the best of 2011 are Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Trish McEvoy Eye Base Essentials and Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion.
2. If you would prefer something other than an eye shadow primer, try a concealer on your lids followed by a layer of loose powder. This will heighten the effect of the eye shadow for an extended amount of time.
3. Wet your eyeshadow brush with a little water, dab it in the power and then, sweep it across your lids. The wetness improves the intensity and brightness of the eyeshadow in addition to forcing the powder to remain longer.
4. Another option is to brush a cream eyeshadow on your lids first. The effect will be more pronounced if the cream powder is in cohesion with the eyeshadow color.
5. A translucent face powder over your lids is perfect for providing a smooth layer for the eyeshadow powder to cling to. The face powder absorbs the oils from the lids, preventing the formation of creases. It leaves the area sleek enough for the application of the eyeshadow.
6. Vaseline is also considered a good option for a base.
7. Paint the entire eye lid with a neutral shade of liquid-to-powder eye shadow cream. Then, lightly dust pressed power over the area. A barrier is created between your skin and the soon to be applied color cosmetic, preventing the oil in your skin from dissolving the eyeshadow powder.
8. The stickiness of lip balm and petroleum jelly ensures the eyeshadow particles cling to the surface of your eyelids. Clean your eyelids nicely and proceed to dab a small coating of lip balm or petroleum jelly. The oil in the jelly or lip balm will fill in the creases around your eyes to smooth out the skin. Select a lighter shade of the eyeshadow as the jelly or lip balm tends to deepen the hues of the color. Finish off the effect by setting the shadow with a translucent powder.
Once you have prepared yourself, dance into the night— knowing you are as beautiful as the moment you entered.
