First we need to understand the differences between the professional eye shadow from the ordinary. First, its purpose. Professional shadows are commonly used for photo and video shooting, at a ceremony where the important factor is the make-up resistance in all conditions, even at high temperatures. Professional shade are more resistant, have a high hiding power, a set of colors in the palette is usually much larger, and the color of shadows themselves are distinguished by their brightness. Professional palette shadow usually contain multiple shades of one color to makeup could precisely match the overall range of makeup.
The advantages of professional shadows include hypoallergenic, resistant, large variety of shades. They typically do not contain fragrances.
But there are some disadvantages of professional cosmetics. For example, professional shadow preservatives generally comprise more than usual. They must be removed by special means for removing waterproof makeup. Large variety of bright shades are not used for normal daytime makeup. Moreover, shades of professional cosmetics may seem ordinary women are not entirely clear.
Professionals often use the so-called "pure" colors. Shades are obtained by mixing in accordance with the idea of make-up artist. Therefore, it makes no sense to buy a huge palette of bright shades, unless of course you're a professional makeup artist. In addition, high-quality professional cosmetics is very expensive and requires a special application for the accessories that are also not cheap.
When choosing makeup, be sure to pay attention to its practicality: cosmetics should be easy to apply and easy to wash off (without special tools), to be comfortable to use.
