Ok so what do you ladies use to make your shadows pop. I've tried my bamboom paint but that isn't working. Is it my brushes I have the 217, 224, and 252. Any suggestions would be great. I'm an NC50
Thanks

Try using a shadestick or a paint pot. Personally, shadesticks work the best for me. I noticed when I use paints, they seem to wash the color out.

Yep try Shadesticks! I personally love the 239 brush for that pop of color.

Shadesticks and Paints within the same color as the base shadow you are wanting to stand out. For example, I I want to use Swish as my main color. I use Artjam Paint.

I second what saj20052006 vbmenu_register("postmenu_911660", true); said. Use a paint/paint pot/shadestick in the same shade as your eyeshadow, i.e. a pink base with pink eyeshadow.

I haven't used a drop of paint or taken a dip of my paint pots since I bought Urban Decay's Primer Potion. This stuff is awesome and because it's a nude base it makes ANY color pop without having to worry about what's underneath!
