Eyeshadow that won't smear or "sweat" away

Just needs to be black. And what store to buy it from. Thanks!

Covergirl makes a black shadow but I dont like their color payoffs honestly.

maybelline's shadows are very nice. Not sure if they have black though.

This cheap brand called CG has a black that actually works very nice wet.

With any of them you should use a shadow base like Urban Decay Primer potion or something to that extent.

That makes a HUGE difference.

I have to agree with the above... and apply wet for darkest coverage.

Where can I get primer potion? And "apply wet" I'm assuming that means add a very small amount of water to the applicator? We bought revlon colorstay 12hour eyeshadow it says it's smudgeproof and creaseproof so is that good?

That one isn't bad, but a primer like Urban Decay's Primer Potion is freakin' sweet. Put primer on 1st, then shadow.

I like Lancome's cream eyeshadow primer in nude myself. Awesome stuff. It works as a coverup for circles nicely too.

Yea you can wet the applicator directly or put a little water on one side of the shadow also. Don't add a ton or you'll A ruin your shadow and B won't get a good color pay off. You want the thickness of paint a nice sheen to it.

Ulta has primers as well

I used to have a major problem with sweating my eye makeup off on stage under all those lights and someone suggested to put foundation on first and do a nice coat over my eyes and it WORKS GREAT

i use wet and wild eye shadow (they have the BEST color combos for a natural yet emphasized look) and just regular foundation--i've gone from re-doing my makeup between every scene at draconian shows to one application as i get ready and still having to wash it off at the end of the night.

i'm not a big fan of primers personally and i find that liquid color or wetting my powder just makes it easier for smearing/sweating off. it also depends on the shape of your brow/lids.

Its worth the money to invest in some krylon pallets if you wear a lot of colorful makeup. They make a good base for stage makeup (which they're for) and also club wear and whatnot.
