There are many eyeshadow products that have great colour intensity. Cream eyeshadow probably has the best intensity and vibrancy of all, but unless you have incredibly dry skin around your eyes, cream eyeshadow will not last throughout the day. However, it can be a great base that you layer under your powder eyeshadow. It will bring out the colour of your powder eyeshadow and give it some staying power!!!
Here are two main ways to make your powder eyeshadow come alive.
Using a Cream Eyeshadow Base:
As mentioned earlier, layer your cream and powder eyeshadow. Use the cream first. Choose a cream eyeshadow colour similar to the middle base colour you have chosen if that's the colour you want to intensify. You can also choose a cream colour that will mix with your powder to create another shade altogether. Cream eyeshadow can also create a nice undertone. I like to use a pink cream shadow under my MAC Soba (light brown) powder shadow. It doesn't change the colour but gives it a pretty pink undertone.
Look at the picture below. The eye makeup with the cream layer is much more vibrant!!
Using Water to Intensify the Colour:
As children, we all played with watercolour paint of some sort and to some extent understand the technique of using a wet brush with paint. This is exactly the same concept. Wet your eyeshadow brush before swiping your eyeshadow. Make sure it is not too wet and not too dry. Now apply your eyeshadow colour as you normally would.
Look at the difference it makes!!
Again, these are great ways to turn what you already have into something new.
