Ok So this maybe a suprise for you to know that there are three different types of eyeshadows that you can buy and really it's a personal preferance a to which you use.
So the most obvious is the make pallett, this is compressed mica powder's. Pressed mica is the most popular choice because of the wide range of pallett choice but mostly because of the hundred of colours choices and variety designer or no name suppliers.

Than there is a cream eyeshadow that can be good to use and a base, but try them first coz you won't want to look like the JOKER from Batman at the end of the day/ night.
Sticks are so easy and again come in a wide variety of colours that can be matte, shimmery and or glittery- I like glitter!

Go crazy and than try a creme from the tube for a more translucent or veil (extreamly thin base) to work with.

(Revelon Creme pallet) Or my fav only coz I can
carry them with me is the cream pallet.
But the best play with and most effective to blend with for some of the most amazing eye shadow looks for every season!
