Getting bored with your eyeshadows? A quick way to spice them up without having to splurge on new shades is to add a darker color with a pencil eyeliner or cream eyeshadow underneath. This makes the color on top so much more vivid and adds a nice twist to it. It can also bring out the sparkles in certain eyeshadows. Don’t believe me? Just check out the combos below (the color on the right is the original color):
