9 Ways You're Not Using Your Eye Shadow to Its Full Potential

If you don't feel like making an investment in a true bronzer, use eye shadow instead. Cream, powder, shimmer, matte — it's all good. Just use a color that has a yellow, orange, or red undertone like a true bronzer to avoid looking washed out. If you're using a cream formula, avoid looking like a glitter bomb hit you by mixing a little bit of moisturizer with the shade before applying with your fingertips. For a powder shadow, apply with a big fluffy brush and buff out any excess sparkle with your regular loose powder.
