Making Your Eyeshadow Pop Brighter and Longer

I went through a journey tonight finding the perfect information for one of my most lovely clients.  Her bone structure make her eyes a particularly striking feature.  For her, I am researching eye primer.  I have please hold by mark. and I am actually using it as a concealer.  I mix it with my speedway in mocha and apply under my eyes, around my nose and mouth. I bought it to try out some cream shadow, but that creased anyway so I didn't bother to use the primer again.  So I have put my nose to the air, and primer is what I want to come up with, the hunt is on...

I started by looking for a website www.makeupforblackgirls.com, doesn't exist.  The next selection was www.makeup4blackwomen.com.  She hasn't updated since July so I looked at her links to see if there was someone fresh she had mentioned.  And there I happened upon Scandalous Beauty, watched a video on her youtube channel where she shows a basic eyeshadow look.  I liked the video, so I included it below.


 (Side note: as I went back to link the video I found this bonus review of Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue!!!, and I am thinking that she should try this instead!)

Her another video by Makeup D0ll, which I really like because she discusses primers and bases to help make your eyeshadow last and show up vibrant and true.


My client is allergic to MAC...ok, shift gears, other products that can be used for this purpose, namely Too Faced Shadow Insurance and Urban Decay Primer Potion.  It seems the Urban Decay is a better formula, but for your money's worth, too faced has better packaging.  I am looking forward to checking these products out to see what is better and how mark. compares.  For right now, because of the packaging, I would say go with Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

Happy Hunting!
