Hi, ive got black eyeshadow but it doesnt stand out well...how can i make it pop?

is there anything i can add to my lid.





I always prime my eyes before adding any eyeshadow.





thanx!!Hi, ive got black eyeshadow but it doesnt stand out well...how can i make it pop?
I suggest you apply two eye shadows black and any other eye shadow, you can apply black eye shadow at the end of your lid and bring in forward and another eye shadow 1st


However it should looks professional Go on youtube and search itHi, ive got black eyeshadow but it doesnt stand out well...how can i make it pop?
Is your skin tone naturally medium to dark? If it is, then your shadow won't stand out as much as the shadow on someone who has really fair skin. I suggest you buy a highlight (either white or a peachy nude color that is a few shades lighter than your skin) and brush it onto your brow bone down to the black shadow and also put it on the inside of your inner corners. The contrast between the two colors might make the black shadow pop more.





Also, you can try playing with different bases and primers. Try white and black bases along with the skin-toned bases and primers.





Try different brands of black shadow, too. Maybe it's not as pigmented, so it doesn't stand out as much.





I hope this helps!


Good luck. (:
I have this problem - and with a shimmery black too (the MAC one, Black Tied)





I do the following:





I use a coloured liquid eyeliner, which somehow seems to make the black shadow pop. I use purples, blues and greens.





I also make sure to use a pink or red blusher, which somehow makes my eyes stand out more.





Make sure to use a lot of mascara too - this opens up your eyes as you know, and makes the black shadow stand out.





I think it's all about how the rest of your makeup is done; this is what I'm starting to see.
I had the same problem as you do- black seemed to look blah on me. I did this: take a shimmery white/silver shadow, and after putting your black shadow as a base, put a li'l bit of the white one right in the center of your eyelid. JUST the center, only as wide as the finger you dab it with. Blend a bit so it doesn't stand out as a polka dot, and add more if you need it. Add the same white/silver as a brow highlighter right under your browbone. You could use a gold color in place of white if you wish. Works well for me, hope it does for you too. Best of luck!
Is it a matte or a shimmer shade of black? What brand?





Depending on the brand you may just not have enough pigmentation in the black shadow. Smashbox has a matte black color that works really well. I usually apply a shimmery pink shade first to the entire lid, then the black from the mid to outer corner. The matte black will pick up a little of the shimmer from the shimmery pink underneath (but not a whole lot). It always looks great together and the black really stands out against the lighter pink color.
since it is shimmery add shimmery eyeliner, try black eye shadow, blue mascara %26amp; silver eyeliner for total WOW





make the rest of your makeup plain %26amp; simple looking natural, apart from your eyes, so your eyes look more promenent.


(add one darker %26amp; one lighter shade, then blend to create a smoky eye look)





try different makes, shades %26amp; styles to find one that suites you. dress the black eyeshadow down for work %26amp; glam it up for a night on the tiles.


i reccomend barrym.com
It could be because the eyeshadow you're using is no good. I have no idea what brand you're using, but Lorac's black eyeshadow is great and highly pigmented. Mac's fluidline in blacktrack is also great as an eyeshadow.
Simple I use vaseline. It sticks to that and brings out the colour as it should be. remember don'tt coat it on only the tinest bit. Also this should work for loose powder aswell.
I always use a black liquid eyeliner on my top lashes. It really makes a big difference.

Before you put your eyeshadow on, put vaseline on your eyelid, it will keep it in place and make it so shiney!
