info: Hello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Barbara. How may I assist you?
Alysia: Hi Barbara, I'm having some problems getting colours to show up brighly when using eyeshadows
Alysia: I'm just wondering how to make them show up brighter
Barbara: Hi Alysia, I'm glad to help. How are you currently applying your eye shadow?
Alysia: with a small shader brush and than the 217 to blend
Barbara: Great, you need firm brushes to apply your eye shadows with more intensity. Here are a couple of other tricks to try.
Barbara: Use a base on your eye lids so your eye shadow pigments can grab onto them. Something like a neutral Cream Colour Base or Prep + Prime Eye Are excellent choices.
Barbara: With technique, use a patting motion to press the pigments on to the lid rather then sweeping them. This will make your eye shadows more intense.
Alysia: I was told Biege-ing shadestick might also be helpful, what do you think?
Barbara: Beige-ing Shadestick is another nice option. The creamy formula of our Shadesticks will help to grab your powder eye shadow pigments as well.
Alysia: with the patting motion... do you mean the colour prep or the shadow?
Barbara: The patting motion is for the eye shadows. It deposits the colour rather then sweeping it all around which will make it soft.
Alysia: ahh ok
Alysia: and what colour/neutral would you recc in the creme base?
Alysia: I have super fair skin if that helps
Alysia: I'd prefer something I could use with lots of colours as I like to change it up alot
Barbara: Shell Cream Colour Base is a great choice for a very fair skin tone.
Barbara: It's a neutral shade so you have lots of options withit.

Alysia: also, what brushes would you reccomend? I currently have the 217 and want to buy some more MAC brushes. I've heard 272 is really versitile
Barbara: I recommend the #252, #242 or #239 brushes which are all firm. The #217 that you have is excellent for crease work and the #272 is indeed versatile. It's more medium firm.
Alysia: alright, thanks so much!
Barbara: You are welcome! Enjoy these tips Alysia.
