Makeup isnt suppose to show that much !


you want people to see you not just your makeup


you should to start out with sheer colorsMy makeup doesnt show up!?
Try putting a little bit of liquid foundation on your eyelids before you do your eyeshadow.


Rub it in a little bit though so it's not all just like oily on the surface or whatever.





If you don't have any foundation, use a clear colored chapstick, and rub a little over your eyelids before putting on your eyeshadow.





I hope this helped :]
It doesn't necessarily have to be expensive make-up, but just make sure its dark. And I agree with putting foundation first, and then from there you can apply your make-up. It's not that hard just do these: put like a light eye shadow in all the eye,then put the darkest eye shadow that you are going to wear in the middle and finally put the medium color on the top by the eye brows. And you will look very pretty but don't do it too dark either. I hope this helps..
I like for my colors to really POP!! out so what i do. I got those liquid eyeshadows I put that on as a base for my eyeshadow depending on the color green for green, white for white, blue for blue....and on and on...then I use a brush not the lil one that comes with the eyeshadows the ones that are kinda like blush brushes but for eyeshadow i then put on the powder it makes it really show and holds better to.
if you put some foundation and powder on your eye lid before you start it helps the eye shadow to stay, also don't bother with the cheap and nasty brands, go for a good quality shadow that blends well. it also depends on what you apply your shadow with, try a proper eye shadow brush as the stick ones that come in a packet tend to just brush your eye shadow off. good luck :)
I would suggest a primer. Especially for eye shadow. Try brands such as Maybelline, Annabelle, Bonne Belle, Clinique.


Try to stay away from Mac...I've worked int he make-up industry for a long time and I'm going to definitely say stay away from MAC. It's heavy, think and just not good for your skin..





So choose something light with a bit more pigment and a bit of primer!
get some darker makeup :]


Avon stuff usually works pretty well


and covergirl is awesome


just make sure its dark enough


but sometimes you dont want foundation to show


it just depends if you want to add color to you face or not


if thats the problem


get some bronzer :]
You're probably using a shade that's too light and that's why it isn't showing. It could be that you're using a brand that's not so good and it's cheap. Go for darker colors like bronzes, greens, and pastels according to your complexion. Neutragena has a great selection.
put a light coating of foundation or powder on your eyelids, it helps the eyeshadow stick to the eyelid :)





try putting a base coat of white shadow before your eyeshadow as well
I usually damp the brush with water (duh)





use concealer or lemonade from benefit as a base so the color would show and last
Heh, i know! the same happened to me before! One of the things u should look at is selecting a proper colour shade that would suit your skin tone, that really has a big influence on your appearance.
cheap makeup shows up really light


try something like mabeline
try using the more expensive brands like MAC and Nars, they tend to have more pigment
make it wet with water/ get more on you brush/ try sweeping it several times
try using darker more expensive makeup.
If you get more expensive make-up it will show up.
natural is in now. thats good if your make up is light!!


LeSs Is MoRe!!
maybe its to light...??? and by the way is this rachel mason?
UR NOT PUTTING ENOUGH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
