Why is my eyeshadow bumpy?
These bumps are actually created from the oil on your eyelids, which mixes with your eyeshadow every time you dip that shadow brush into the powder. Aside from kind of grossing us out a little bit, the oil also creates a film on the eyeshadow that doesn’t allow you to pick up as much pigment.

Can you put concealer over eyeshadow?
