Imagine having to attend a spectacular event in the near future which requires a considerable amount of dress-up. Once you find the perfect cocktail dress for the occasion, pick out a pair of great heels and decide on a glamorous hairstyle, it’s time to focus on the makeup.

Eye makeup is one of the key elements of any look, and nothing stands out more than eyeshadow. With so many chic ways to wear it, like blending multiple colors and using intense shades, there’s no limit to the gorgeousness shadow can lend you.

That’s why eyeshadow primer should be your new best friend. Too Faced – Shadow Insurance makes any shadow perfectly blendable and resists all types of smudging. Sothys – Enlightening Eye Base does the same thing, adding a hint of luminescence to your look. What’s better than that?
