Do you enjoy experimenting with eye makeup? You’ve probably noticed that striking looks and really bright hues may sometimes fade or crease. That’s where the eyeshadow base comes in! It is, in simple words, an essential for beauty that helps intensify the pigments and keep your look going for hours. If you love these dynamic palettes like the Glitter Bomb Eyeshadow Palette, then an eyeshadow base really makes all of the difference and lets every color pop. Here’s everything you need to know about this game-changing product.
What is an Eyeshadow Base?
An eyeshadow base is otherwise known as an eyeshadow primer. It is cream or liquid formula that readies the eyelid to accept the eyeshadow. It may be put on the lid before the eyeshadow; that way, you have a smooth canvas allowing easy color payoff and keeps eye makeup in place. Unlike regular concealers, eyeshadow bases are formulated to grip pigments and not crease, fade, or smudge.
Top Benefits of Using an Eyeshadow Base
Deepens Color: When you put an eyeshadow base under the application of the eyeshadows, colors in your Glitter Bomb Eyeshadow Palette appear much more vibrant. Bright shades, such as metallics or shimmers, pop against the eyelid like no other with a base on and illuminate them for fantastic results.
Enduring Wear: An eyeshadow base wears away your makeup all day long and holds colours in place from morning till night. With glittery shades, that’s very useful because without a good base, they really like to move.
Silky Application: A base helps to smooth out any texture on your eyelids so your shadow applies smoothly without patchiness. That means blending is much easier to achieve flawless transitions and a really professional finish.
Prevents Creasing and Fading: Greasy eyelids or warm weather can cause shadows to wrinkle. An eyeshadow base prevents this by depositing a protective barrier, so your carefully crafted look doesn’t get disrupted.
Putting on Eyeshadow Base for Flawless Application
Make a light start: A little and often approach. Put a pea-sized dollop of the eyeshadow base on your lid by dabbing your finger or an applicator brush against it. This avoids a thick, cakey appearance.
Blend It Out: Combine your base evenly from the lash line up to your brow bone; this is where you will most probably be placing your shadow. The even layering will make your shadow stick and blend nicely.
Apply Eyeshadow Right Away: Now that you have your base applied, slap on the shadow right before it fully sets. This gives the eyeshadow something to really bind to, thus making your color payoff far superior.
Enhance your sparkle with the Glitter Bomb eyeshadow palette.
If you are using the Glitter Bomb Eyeshadow Palette-or any palette that houses shimmery or glittery shades-don’t miss the eyeshadow base. Some of the glitter shades fall out, especially those with the highest shine or intensive fill; applying a base will create a tacky surface for glitter particles to adhere to, thus reducing fall-out and emphasizing intensity in sparkle.
The Right Eyeshadow Base for Your Makeup
Not all eyeshadow bases are created equal. A more transparent, slightly tacky finish will make your glitter shadows pop. A colored or tinted base will really make vibrant mattes or metallics pop. Even try matching the shade of your base to the eyeshadow or use a white base so just about any color pops.
Pro-Tips Using an Eyeshadow Base with Glitter Shadows
Layer it right: Now take a very thin base layer and apply your glitter shadow and gently press this onto the lid with your fingertip or a flat brush.
Mix with Caution: To mix glitter, do not overmix since this tend to shift the sparkles. Mix gently along edges for better concentration of shimmer.
Set the Look: Set this look with a setting spray, locking all that glitter into place so it sticks there all day long.
Elevate Every Look with an Eyeshadow Base
An eyeshadow base is actually a must-have in makeup, especially with colorful or glitter-filled palettes such as the Glitter Bomb Eyeshadow Palette. In addition to making the pigments pop, it will make sure that all the sweat will come off your face by the end of the day. So the next time you plan a bold eye look, don’t forget that eyeshadow base-it’s the key to long-lasting vibrancy that dazzles all day long!
