Eyeshadow that stays!

[pearl]

Melting eyeshadow is a problem for many women, but there is a way to make it "stick" a little longer.

If you use a damp eyeshadow brush and apply a layer of face powder to your lids and allow to set, the shadow will stay in place for the day.
Takes an extra second or so but the effort is well worth it.

I hope this helps! let me know if it does

Thanks pearl! really nice tip.... i just gave you a green rep for that.

Try basing your lid. Most lines carry an 'eye primer base'.

It prevents eyeshadow from creasing and makes your shadow last longer.

Also, you can put your foundation on your eyelids first (very very thin) let it dry and then apply your shadow.

apply eye cream first

Use a non oil based concealer in your natural shade and your eyeshadow will not smear or crease all day

What about if u have really oily eyelids? what should I do? (i tried my foundation thing, it only works if u dont have oily eyelids)

[Judi]

Make sure that the concealer is for oily skin, very matte. I use the Revelon one in the compact. And if you find that you eyeshadow is still creasing, before you apply Mascara, use a big powder brush and lightly dust with Translucent Face powder. ( this will also give you thicker lashes) Give this a try and let me know how it works out for you.

It worked ok, but still my eyeshadow creased. I used a matte concealer and powder too! my eyelids must be REALLY oily, unless i should blend my eyeshadow with my fingers and not just the eyeshadow brush?

Try waterproof eye shadow creams. They're impossible to crease and you don't need to base your lid before hand... If you don't want to.

My best bet is Colour Dose by Lancome, they come in various colours which are funky and trendy and are easy to apply, just use your ring finger...
