How can I get NYX - Pink Eyeshadow to "pop"

[MsCuppyCakes]

Hello ladies,

I'm a NW40-45-47, depending on the season. I have NYX's Platinum Pink and Cotton Candy eyeshadows. I also have all of the jumbo eyeshadows. For the life of me

I can't get pink to "pop" any and all suggestions appreciated.

Do you use the shadows over the jumbo pencils? That really helps my colors look vibrant!

 

[MsCuppyCakes]

Yes I do. I'm not sure I don't think I'm using the best combination, i.e.
White jumbo eye pencil under Platinum Pink

What are some of your color combinations?

Ahhhh...I'm at a loss for the names, but it's the pink pencil. I've also used the purple pencil & both work great. The only thing is, for me I have to use UDPP underneath everything, because those jumbo pencils crease on me

Thanks. I'm thinking you're talking about the Yogurt jumbo eyeshadow pencil.

What bases have you tried? Shadesticks work well for "popping" color.

Use a soft taupe shadow as a base before applying the pink eyeshadow.

The names were lavender & strawberry milkshake

Where do you guys find your NYX cosmetics?

If you can't find them at your local beauty supply store, try ordering them online at CherryCulture.com. If you have an Ulta store in your area try them and NYX has it's own website, but the eyeshadows are expensive. I usually go to my local Asian beauty supply store where they are cheap.

Now to make Pink Eyeshadow "pop," I would use a paint maybe Cotton Candy or Bare Canvas depending on your skin tone. I think Fresco Rose is such a beautiful paint pot and it really makes the pink shadows "pop."

i would recommend Canton Candy Paint by MAC to make your pink color pop!
