OK so I'm kinda bad at makeup and recently I've actually gotten okay at doing winged eyeliner. The thing is my eyeshadow still looks bad. So I've read that having a good base and good brushes help. Like my eyeshadow barely shows up. So I'm looking to buy some new brushes and a base for my eyeshadow. Any suggetions? Thanks!
Best brush sets to purchase for eyeshadow?

Usea sponge applicator to the lid for better pigmentation

Yeah, just to add and clarify...
Use an eyeshadow primer, lots of brands out there to choose from.
The best eyeshadow brushes are made from natural hair bristles and are flat in thickness. Again, lots of great brands out there to choose from.
Yes, sponge-tipped applicators work for intensity, but they are not good at all for accuracy and detail and can be messy. Another disadvantage is that they can't be cleaned (they rip), become hard the more you use it, and can be expensive to keep replacing the tips forever.
Also, good quality eyeshadows have great pigmentation. Shimmer, frost and glitter textured shadows tend not to stick as well as matte and satin finish shadows.
I really like Morphe brushes https://www.morphebrushes.com/collections/sets
For eyeshadow base I like Inglot, Too Faced and Urban Decay.

I second Morphe Brushes!!! Such quality and you seriously can't beat the prices. I would also like to inquire as to what kind of skin you have@@grace2016? If you have oily skin, definitely a primer is what you need, and there are good ones at the drugstore and amazing high end ones too. The Milani Primer for Eyes is one of the top drugstore brands (CVS), and the Too Faced Shadow Insurance is probably the top high end one. Also, make sure to set with a translucent powder or a neutral shadow all over the lid.
However, if you have dry skin, like I do, your eyelids may be so desperate for moisture that they are sucking up any product you put on, to try and rehydrate themselves. I used to wonder why my eyes weren't holding on to any eyeshadow pigment, and my eye look would fade after just an hour or so of wear. If you have dry skin, try moisturizing your eyelid with a light eye cream, letting it fully dry, and then using an eyeshadow primer like the ones I listed above. It will give your lids the moisture it needs, so they don't have to go looking for it in any of the eyeshadow products you use!

I second the Milani eye primer. I don't really have oily lids. It is great and no different imo than UD primer potion. $6 v $20
I have a hodgepodge of brushes bc I don't really buy sets. I have brushes from MAC, Real techniques, Ecotools, elf, Sonia Kashuk, Sephora
