Have you tried packing on the color with a sponge tip applicator first? I find that makes it as intense as it will get, besides using a paint pot. etc. etc... that will bring out the color you want.

Mac's Shadesticks Are My Favorites! So Easy To Apply (like Coloring In The Lines) Of The Eyelid. Bare Canvas (mac Paint) Is Also Really Great! I Like The Paint Pots Too... But If You Use A Lil' To Much It Will Cause Your Shadow To Crease.

ACTUALLY THE BEST BRUSH TO USE IS THE 275 BRUSH. THE FLUFFIER THE HAIRS OF THE BRUSH ARE THE BETTER FOR PICKING UP AND PACKING ON COLOR! THE 239, 252, AND 242 ARE TO STIFF AND PACKED/ AND THE HAIRS LIE TO CLOSE TOGETHER. SO THE SHADOW ENDS UP IN BETWEEN THE HAIRS THE MORE YOU PACK WITH IT.

UDPP because I cannot go a day without applying it. I want to try the MAC Paint Pots because I heard it's so amazing and I will try it whenever I get the chance.

The last time I went to Pure Beauty I tested this on the back of my hand and let it set. I then looked at all the other goodies and when I was done I looked at my hand and decided against the Shadow Insurance because it seemed to settle into the fine lines on my hand. It seemed like it didn't have the right texture, if this makes sense.

Is this the way it is supposed to act?

After reading this I think I'm gonna rush out and by the UD primer!

Thanks guys

I like to wear my eyeshadows that pop, very vibrant. So if I am wearing blue I use Mac sea me purples I use Mac royal hue shadestick. For neutral eye I just bei-ing and also I use bare study paint pot by Mac.

OMG!! Honestly, STUDIO GEAR eye primer in Natural is AMAZZZZING! it has a very nice skin tone tint (comes in 2 colors: natural & bisque)- so it immediately takes out any blue/purples in the natural eyelid, it lifts and brightens!! Its awesome...not to mention your shadows won't crease or budge alllllllllll day long!

Right now you can only get it at ULTA, but Studio Gear is getting ready to be launched in Dilliards as well!

You can also try to get UDPP from Ulta.com. Love this stuff!! Another good one is Shadow Insurance by Two Face.

I like to use UDPP as primer and either shadesticks or paintpots as a base over the UDPP

 

[SiCiLyGiRl]

i use as base Mac Paintpots, UD primer potion, Nyx jumbo pencils

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I use a variety of primers: Paints, Paint Pots, NYX Jumbo Pencils and Mehron AQ Palette.

Btw, I guess I'm in the minority as I hated UDPP

 

[aic]

luvs urban decay primer potion.

 

[wynchester76]

MAC paint pots and/or even Fluidlines!!!

Lately I'm really liking the Metal X eyeshadows as a base. With a bit of UDPP under them they last so long that it's hard to get off!
Gilded Ash as a base for brown and purple smokey eyes =
