If you apply a nice primer that's white or peachy pink and all your dark colors will turn out just the way it looks in your pallet. With the right primer there won't be any smudging and the look will last all day

I agree with Michelle. A primer also makes your makeup look more vibrant. Cream shadows or applying shadows wet (wetting the brush before dipping it in pigment shadows) will also intensify your look. Some cream shadows I recommend:
Color Tattoo eyeshadow:

Infallible Eyeshadow:

And NYX jumbo pencil in milk as a base or primer:

You can also use their darker colors as shadows.

Hope this helped!
