Hey guys, I have deep skin, and when ever I use eyeshadows, the colours never show up dark enough. Their always so sheer. I use BB cream and concealer as a base but it doesn't seem to do the trick. How do I get my eyeshadows to show up to their true colour? Help 😑

You should buy Mac soft orchid or painterly. They should help with your eyeshadow showing more.

You can use MAC paint pots in a lighter color than your skin, your eyeshadow will last forever and the color will pop, just be careful while applying the shadows because as it is long-lasting if you put the primer and apply color in a harsh way you'll never get that color properly blended

A primer would definitely help, but I think a base would suit your needs better. If you want to try something a little cheaper, the nyx jumbo pencils are a great base for eyeshadow and they come in a variety of colors. Maybelline color tattoos are great too, but they have more of a tacky quality to them, so you'll definitely need to lay a base shadow on top, otherwise blending can be a little tricky.
