How does the eyeshadow base work?
Fixing make-up
Eyeshadow base is a cosmetic recommended especially for women with the so-called oily eyelid. In their case, the shadow stays on the eyelid for a very short time, and the lines - smudge it. All because of the excessive production of sebum, which causes the cosmetics to wipe off quickly.
The eyeshadow base fixes makeup not only in women with oily skin, but also in women whose shadow often accumulates in the crease of the eyelid. It is also worth reaching for the base for shadows when a given person is waiting for a whole night of partying or being in unfavorable weather conditions, e.g. when it is very hot or windy.
Skin tone alignment
The eyeshadow base not only fixes the shadow itself, but also evens out the skin tone. Thanks to the application of the base, you can get the eye shadow color that you see in the package, which is especially important for owners of very dark and / or light complexion. In their case, the shadow applied directly to the skin sometimes takes a distorted color.
Thanks to the base for the shadows, discoloration, veins, capillaries become invisible, but shadows or eyeliner take on a more expressive color, they become more saturated.
Easier distribution of cosmetics
The eyeshadow base also makes it easier to spread the shadows on the eye - they do not crumble, do not fall off, and are easier to "stick" to it. The shadow on the base spreads evenly and does not accumulate in the folds of the eyelid.
Some eyeshadow bases have flecks or brighten, which, however, does not suit every woman - some ofThey simply prefer the base to even out the skin tone and extend the durability of the shadows, and choose illumination and particles, for example, on the cheeks instead of the eyelid.

How to use a base for shadows?
Applying the eyeshadow base is very easy - most of them are available in jars, in the form of a gel or cream, so just pick up the right amount on your finger and spread it evenly on the eyelid with your finger. If the product builds up in the kink, it means that either too much has been applied or it is not of good quality.
Applying the eyeshadow base start from the eyebrow line, and then spread it all over the eyelid.
If the eyeshadow base does not spread easily, you can first warm it between your fingers.
There are also bases for eyeshadows with an applicator - in their case, the application is even easier - we place the cosmetic directly on the eye. If the base, which happens less often, has a powdery form, we can apply it like a shadow - with a brush.
After applying the base, wait about a minute and then apply the shadows on the eyelids.
The durability of the eyeshadow base, and consequently the eyeshadow itself, is increased by the gentle powdering of the base - so first, apply the eyeshadow base, wait about a minute, add the powder, and finally apply only the shadow.
