Makeup - tip of the day

I don't have the lightest skin color, so it's a little bit tough for colors to stay or show on my face. So, with that in mind, I've learned that eye lid primer is a must have! It helps keep the eye shadow to last all day and the colors stand out just a little bit more. I also like to dip my brush in water and then dip it into the eye shadow and then apply. I've heard that you could use contact solution instead of water because it prevents cracking, but I am not sure how that all works. Water has always worked fine for me. Anyway, if you get bored, play with makeup! =)
