Eyeshadow for dummies

The only thing is I have big eyes (I think) and I have to be very careful not to over-shimmer/glitter them, because I think I look awful. YAY, another UD PP user. Its the best stuff in the world.

In response to the above question....YES, I would like a more opaque color. For example, on your eyelook below I could find lookalikes in my mu stash, but when I try to apply them it looks nothing like what you've got....just a dull sheer tint. 've even tryed dampening my brush. (That's probably a no-no! - hence the reason for the name of the thread).

WOAH!!! thats awsome omg I absolutley love your eyes like that its soo pretty

I don't have e/s specific base. I wanted to try UD PP, but I'm trying not to buy any more cosmetics until after my cruise or I'll be begging for alcohol. Then again maybe if my makeup pops...the guys will be drooling and buying me drinks!!

Thanks everyone! UD PP is on my list.

In the meantime, I found a tutorial type thing for eyeshadow from 1 color design to 4 color design.
