Tips & Tricks To Get The Best Of Your Eye Shadows
Does making your eye shadows budge-proof seem like a lost cause? Are you annoyed about trying everything to make them stay on all day, without losing the intensity of their color, and still, nothing seems to work? Well, you are not the only one. Wearing eye shadows can be a tricky, especially if you were “blessed” with combination/oily skin and one hour after applying eye shadows, they literally disappear (pure magic, isn’t it?!).
Nevertheless, just like any other problem, this one has its solution. Let’s go through some basic tips to help you keep the gorgeous pigment on your eyelids much longer.
Speaking of eye shadows, have you already tried the new Vegan Eye Shadows from La Mav...
Use Base In Accordance With Your Skin Type
I am sure that by mentioning the importance of applying primer I am not going to surprise you at all. However, picking the right primer for your skin type is essential not only to make the eye shadows stay in place but also to get the best of their pigment.
Not all cream-based eye primers are mattifying (unless the packaging says so), hence if you have oily/combo skin it’s recommended to pay close attention to the label, before spending money. For those of you who have very oily skin, a good option is applying translucent mattifying powder all over the eye lid with a blending brush. Another alternative, that some makeup artists suggest, is using eye pencil as a base and smudge it with your finger. Use eye pencil with the color of your skin or with the same color as the eye shadows you are going to apply. With this base your eye shadows will adhere with ease and will last till the end of the day.
What To Try: La Mav Mineral Mattifying Powder
If you have dry skin, the usual problems are: you can’t get enough pigment or the colors fade too quickly. In order to avoid this apply some moisturizer or rich eye cream over the eye lid and allow it to be absorbed fully. Once your skin is prepared you can create any look you desire. You’ll be surprised how rich and "durable" the pigment will be.
Pick Your “Tools”
Even the best product won’t give you good results, if you don’t apply them with the right tools. The market offers a variety of brushes for eye shadow application and it’s up to you to pick the ones you’d like to use – after all, we all have our preferences and “own secret makeup techniques”. Nevertheless, the rule of thumb is – dense brushes with soft bristles work better for building up color and distributing it evenly. If your goal is to get the best of the pigment, go for a dense, synthetic brush!
We, at La Mav, always chose synthetic bristles, because we know that “natural hair” equals animal-cruelty.
If you care about those who can’t defeat themselves, choose cruelty-free!

Set With A Facial Mist
The reason why makeup artists and models swear by face mists is that they are your best ally in maintaining the gorgeous look you’ve achieved in the morning throughout the entire day.A few spritz of face mist will set the eye shadows (and your makeup, in general) helping them settle into the skin, for a more natural look. Apart from that, beauty mists hydrate the skin and add a nice dewy finish that will illuminate your face and make it look radiant and fresh.

Try Wet Application
Some of you might be aware of this technique, but for those of you, who are not – yes, you can add water to your eye shadows! Water has “holding” abilities, hence makes eye shadows adhere better. Besides that, it intensifies the color and makes it look brighter. You can either damp your brush lightly or alternatively (if you use loose eye shadows) put a tiny bit of the powder in the tap of the lid and add a drop of water. Mix well and proceed with application. It might take you some time to master this technique, but when you do, you’ll love the results.
