I can't seem to make my eyeshadow look as pigmented as they're supposed to be.. I've used a white eye pencil as a base and I've also used mirenesse eye primer but they don't get the job done, what else can I use??

Les, I just searched that up and it came in different colours like they look like creamy eyeshadows, I'm look for a primer and I'm not sure if I'm looking at the same product you suggest, a little bit confused http://www.maccosmetics.com.au/product/shaded/154/1573/Products/Eyes/Shadow/Pro-Longwear-Paint-Pot/index.tmpl.

And thanks shanae, I might give that a go since it's cheap.

Mac paint pots aren't eyeshadows lol, they are eyeshadow bases.
they are basically a primer, but work better than a primer.
definitely great for oily eyelids and if you want your eyeshadows to pop without creasing.
the most popular shades are painterly and soft ochre.

Painterly on the left, soft ochre on the right.

I've heard you can use concealer on your eyelids to prime them. I don't know if that works well or not though.

Mac paint pot is good. Or maybe you could use lancome eyshadow base.

Thanks Hollie buy I've tried that and didn't like it, it makes it look cacky.
Lydia I did look Mac paint pot after les told me about it and I might try that if I don't like the nyx primer and milk pencil that I recently bought from eBay but still haven't got yet
